My days have been pretty busy lately. Work is crazy and there is always something that needs attention when I get home. I did manage to meet friends for coffee this evening.

The weather has been so nice lately. One more day of school and then we have 5 days off for Eid Al Adha, which falls with Thanksgiving this year.
I'm slowly adding some red around in anticipation of Christmas decorating. I am holding off on until December 1st to really start putting things out. Jingles tried to claim the new wool rug for herself. I decided it would add holiday color to the couch in the tv room.
This red and white afghan belonged to my Mammaw. She's been gone since 1988. I don't even know who made it for her.
I received my first Christmas card and gift the other day from my friend Sheryll. She wanted to give it to me ahead of time since it is a Christmas baking and craft book. I will have time over the holiday to sit and enjoy going through it.
I've been working on a project this week but it just seems to be going nowhere. I think I will work on it for a while now before hitting the hay. I'm determined to finish it within the next couple of days. Wishing you a day of joy! Blessings, Tammy

How exciting that you are starting to decorate for the holidays. Always such fun to see what everyone does to decorate. What a great way to get new ideas for yourself. Sheryl's gift looks so useful and fun. The best kinds of gifts.
Happy to hear you have a nice long break from school for Eid. Nice ot know that you got to see the girls for coffee. Always a nice thing. Zane had a friend come over to play today, so I took his mom out to the porch and had a nice little mom time. That porch has a magical power to relax you. What a wonderful thing!!

Hello, sweet friend,
I love all of your reds today! The afghan that belonged to your mammaw is precious. I am very much a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas and pretty much decorate with red and green. I love an old fashioned tree. I hope you have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving. Vicki

Hi Tammy,
Little Jimgles looks so cute on the red couch! Isn't fun to start decorating for the holidays? It all seemed to arrive so fast this year. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you had a good time with the girls yesterday. Nothing wrong with getting ahead of yourself since you proclaim yourself to be such a procrastinator:D How nice to get a Xmas card and a gift so early. That oughta set up the mood for you. If I forget to mention it tomorrow, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
