I’ve been laughing to myself off and on over the last few weeks whenever I looked at the lights in the front window…
I set up the timer twice, but of course, not correctly… I have watched it come on and go off at the oddest times… instead of going off at 11:30 pm, it might come on then… or just stay off… or just stay on… or…
so, yesterday morning, once again I reset the time and tried to get it set to the schedule where it comes on at 4 pm and goes off at 11:30 pm… this time I ignored the directions and just tried to figure it out…
so far, fingers crossed, it has come on and gone off at the correct time…
I am so proud, lol… and my son-in-law will be astonished…
fixed…

made breakfast when my daughter arrived this morning… she had been on a work related check-in close by… then she helped me with the printer which had started to misbehave about 11:30 last night, right in the middle of a project…
once it was fixed she laid down for a nap and I proceeded to finish the project…
realized last night how much has to happen before the kids arrive from the East and West on Friday and Saturday… made me a bit nervous, but I wrote a list and checked off a few items today, which made me feel better…
it has been a long time since the two of us have spent the day together, and I enjoyed it all… we met two dear friends for lunch and had a great time… special moments…
tonight my son-in-law fixed two different timers so that the various Christmas trees turn on and off without my help… yay… need to get about three more timers so that everything can be automated…
here are the bigger trees with presents under them now (one of the items checked off the list)…
tonight’s supper was a lovely treat… Chinese food, so all we had to do was set the table, lol… and eat…
now everyone has gone home and I am enjoying the quiet beauty of the living room…
how blessed my life is…
delicious…

last night I prepared another five pounds of beans… this time, yellow ones…
the great news was that I was sitting on my bed watching tv as I prepped them… my son-in-law came by and replaced the dead one and then carefully explained how this particular one works… let’s hope I remember all the instructions, lol…
can even set the sleep timer from the main remote control… for the previous one I had to use two remotes… I am very happy…
got my big pasta pot and blanched all of the beans for three minutes…
not sure why I didn’t use this pot for the green beans… sped up the process nicely…
cold bath and then into bags…
filled eleven bags and also had a lovely bowl filled for my supper…
they were very tasty and I also had fresh beets… such a delicious time of the year…
prep work…

big girl pants, fighting a cold, made appetizer, more wrapping, pot luck, prep work, short nap, sunset tonight, timer
hurried home tonight because mid way through the afternoon I realized that I will be out tomorrow evening at another Holiday Concert…
had been thinking that I had time tonight and tomorrow night to get ready for Wednesday’s pot luck and my last day at work before my holidays begin… bit of a shock as there was still lots to do…
was able to fit in a short nap, as I am fighting a bit of a cold… then I was up and on to the jobs… started to make the appetizer that is part of the pot luck only to discover that, although I reviewed the recipe about 3 times, I had missed the fact that I needed curry… and guess what there wasn’t in the cupboard, sigh…
put out a message to my BS buddies and two of them arrived with curry when we gathered…
of course, that meant that job had to be put on hold… made some supper and while it cooked, worked on the couple of projects I had scheduled for tomorrow night… did some wrapping and made name tags, and then ate my dinner and put everything away that I had been working on…
cleaned up the kitchen like a fiend and sat down with a cup of tea about five minutes before the first arrival…
had a lovely visit, and we were all in the same room, which made it even better…
once our gathering ended, I went and finished the appetizer… the little bit I saved for tasting is pretty fine…
sunset tonight as I was headed for my nap…
need to pick up another timer for the second light in the living room… with the new furniture I have to climb over couches to turn off the light… really need to deal with that…
