My week has been pretty good. Work wasn’t too hard. Gearing
up for Christmas, though, so the stress will start soon.

Yummy...that sounds really good!!!! Now I am hungry again! LOL!

[AZamericonnie]

Hey sweetie...tired is tired no matter the hour!

I’m about to hit it myself after a few chores.

Your vacation is coming!!!:)

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am ready! We need the snow cover to protect the pipes. If the ground freezes too deep, pipes can burst.

[AZamericonnie]

I went to the grocers today....they had these loverly looking cinnamon rolls & I could help but buy one.

I'm thinking of curling up with my blankie, remote & cinnamon roll! The decadence!:)

Golly! I never thought about that happening! We hardly ever
have a freeze that goes THAT deep! LOL!

I look forward to seeing the mailbox snow sculpture in front of
your house! :D
