I did add a little stitching to this on Sunday. I did not pick it up last night at all.
Greg has been doing the running this week and took Emily to school to feed the animals Monday and Tuesday morning, then took the dog to get his nails trimmed Monday and took Aidan for his first cavity (filling) at age 14 and some sealants added to his back teeth on Tuesday. I got the guitar lesson trip Monday night and might do the animal feeding driving Tuesday afternoon. We will see. It is nice to not be running here and there all the time!
With F1 racing done for the season, Aidan and I were chatting about his F1 subscription on the way home last night. Turns out, they have the old races available for watching so he pulled up a race at Spa from 1998 I think. Lots of crashes and only 6 or 7 finished the race! Lots of comments on the lack of safety measures and the picture quality. Was it really that bad... I guess we have improved things a lot in the last 25 years!
My way to get the house cleaned - tell the kids they can change over Fall to Christmas! They did get a start and Emily put up the new tree this year. It didn't look this big as a 9 foot tree at the store! It is nice looking though. The lights have different options and can be multicolored, white, switch between the two and a few other options. I do like having my Christmas things out, as seeing them always makes me smile.
Hopefully I can spend some time in the sewing area tonight and work on the OMG quilt. It is nearing the end of the month and I have not made much progress on it yet.
The last run to the grocery store has been done and the turkey is defrosting in the fridge for Thursday. I might have purchased a few extra stollen while at Aldi's. I did not grow up with it but decided to try one last year. I really liked it. I have a Cherry one which is yummy and grabbed one more of those and a Butter Almond one. We will see how that one tastes in a few weeks. I did the marzipan one last year, so it is fun to try the different types.

my turkey started to defrost today, the Christmas stuff will come out after Thanksgiving weekend as we will visit our daughter in the northern part of the state then -- then it will be time to get Christmas started - and the baking etc. Nice looking tree!!
We've noticed that TV shows made in the 80s or 90s have really poor picture quality, too! Your tree looks beautiful! I also got a new one this year, and the lights change like yours. Have fun decorating and a yummy Thanksgiving!
Lovely tree, Deb;))) We plan on putting out our tabletop trees this coming weekend--I already have my tablerunners out and a few Christmassy mug rugs...
hugs, Julierose
I just love reading descriptions of food. I usually think of stollen for Christmas but I guess this time of year is close enough, LOL. Well anytime, really. I too smile to see the decorations come out year after year. It is special when the kids are young to take part now like yours. Treasure these moments, Deb.
