Last night was one of "those" nights... didn't sleep well! Lots of "unmentionable" reasons why which led to a nap in the recliner after my Christmas shopping jaunt. Naps don't make me feel better so unless I fall asleep without planning on it, I don't !!
The Christmas tree is finished... being decorated that is. A timer turns it on early evening. Our tree is small and sits on a desk in the bay window with white lights, ornaments and the angel we bought our first year of marriage!
As I was decorating the tree, I sorted through boxes and boxes of ornaments from the days of big trees, handmade by kids ornaments and hand me down ones from my Mother and Bob's parents ( and grandparents) and came up with a box full for our grand daughter Lili's first tree!! Waste not want not !!
Lili called needing car repair help... something to do with spark plugs and coils... and could she come over after work and have Grandpa help?? Of course.... Luckily the temps are still in the low 70's so working out in the driveway was feasible!! About an hour later they got things done!!
Dominic ( the grandson) is taking a cooking class as an elective... one assignment was to cook dinner for his family at home. Three dishes...new recipe etc. The main one he cooked was a Hungarian soup. Everyone liked it but him... poor Dominic. To finish up his class he had to take a state required test... three hours long. Two hours of which he had to leave his regular classes for. Evidently only 50% of the test takers pass...
Tomorrow's weather predictions sound a little ominous... high temps and lots and lots of wind. We are in the same weather pattern that led to tornadoes in Eastern Missouri, Tenn, Ky and Illinois last weekend.

We decided that as we're taking down the tree this year we will stop and decide which ones we really want to keep.
