Happy Holidays

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.
— Hamilton Wright Mabie

Christmas is the season when you buy this year’s gifts with next year’s money. Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.
— Oprah Winfrey

Santa Claus has the right idea. Visit people once a year.

I’m tired. It’s been a whirlwind week of getting the tree up, finishing the shopping, and wrapping presents. This week I need to get my baking done.

We finally got some snow. Not a lot, but it’s mostly white out there. How long it will stay is anyone’s guess. The temperature is supposed to rise today and then it’s up and down the rest of the week. White Christmas? Green Christmas? Who knows. *sigh*

I asked the grandbaby last week which she’d rather have for Christmas dinner, turkey or ham. She wants both. I recall I served both once before when I could only find a small turkey, so both it is. I even found room in the freezer for them both, and there’s actually room to spare.

This pandemic is starting to piss me off. We’re back to being under restrictions as of midnight last night, and I’ve heard rumours that we’re headed for a total lock down on Boxing Day. It’s going to make it dicey to visit relatives in Hamilton on the 27th.

And that’s pretty much it for this post. Like I said, I’m tired and no matter how organized I am, there’s still a lot to do before Christmas.

That being said, I’ll be doing the Christmas videos on Wednesday, but I won’t be posting next week. Check out my other blog on Friday for a holiday themed story.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

See you in 2022!

Macular Monday

Hey everyone.

We’ve had a lot of rain lately and the lawns are looking good. The temperature has been consistently above freezing so it won’t be long before the trees start getting their leaves. Of course this being Ontario and all they’re calling for snow Wednesday, but the weather is supposed to get steadily better after that.

Anyway, I know I haven’t been exactly consistent when it comes to blogging lately, but I figured those of you who visit here regularly deserve a head’s up that it’ll be a while before I’m back on track again.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I’m unplugging for a couple of weeks – no social media (Facebook) and no blogging. When I come back I’ll give you an explanation of what’s going on, but for now I’m really not prepared to go into any details.

Don’t you hate when people do that? Like when a writer posts on Facebook that they have a “super secret project” in the works?

Sorry about that.

No, I don’t have COVID – I know that’s where most people’s minds go these days.

Like I said, I’ll give you a better explanation when I’m back.

And at least when I come back I’ll have something to talk about. :-D

Peace out, people.
