Would you believe, coming out of the turkey-induced coma?
Suddenly I realized I haven't posted anything since before Thanksgiving!
It was a five day family holiday for us, you see, so we somethinged the shining hour by doing a lot of cleaning and re-deranging and depacking of the Christmas Stuff. Then I needed Monday and Tuesday to recover from all the extreme antics. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of THIS week proceeded to be as busy in their own way as the holiday weekend had been...which brings us up to today.
Some of the things that happened:
Found the lost Hungarians. (Folk ballet program, which I could not mail to the buyer because I could not FIND it.) It had been really bothering me, so that was good.
On Thanksgiving we ate the traditional many good things, including our famous 'clown-in-a-blender' fruit salad. The feast was a bit hit and run because Damaris, Nigel, and the kids were using the holiday to move away. (*sob*) Nigel has been working in Denver the past year, commuting down on the weekends, and he's understandably tired of it. So on Thursday we zoomed over with our half of the feast, gobbled the gobbler, and then went back home so they could get back to shifting residenci.
The high-water mark for excitement that day came on Nigel's drive to Brush, hauling a trailer and three excited kids. One twin accidentally smacked her sister in the mouth, causing the baby tooth with had been hanging by a thread to finally break free--accompanied by the traditional gushing blood. The Belle Girlie Now Sans Tooth is not a blood sports fan, and instantly responded by throwing up.
So that was exciting for all concerned.
I have a few other odds and ends of things I will try to post at decently spaced intervals, so as not to over-spam you all. But this broke the ice and got me started, so that's good.
PS...Happy Birthday, Mom!
