Good morning all. CL, don't you have some siblings who could step up to the plate? You have a legitimate reason for taking things easy for a while and it's someone else's turn to bear a little of the noonday heat. Your aunt and uncle may not be the ideal age for this task but it sounds as if they are willing to give it a try. Trust the Lord to work it out but maybe put some of that undeserved guilt you're feeling on your siblings. Bung, the lights look good. But where's the Santa Clause in the outhouse display? And I think RM had a different sort of inflatable in mind for which he deserves a severe reprimand and no sprinkles on his ice cream. My son received a strong look of disapproval when he came over for Thanksgiving. His family is looking for a new dog and they are thinking about one of those golden retriever/poodle/lab/etc. crosses - you know, like a labradoodle or cockapoo. Well, he sneakily slips in that he was hoping for a golden/dachshund cross, referring to a golden retriever and those long hotdog looking dachshund crosses but the rest of the guys at the house were all snickering and I realized that he only mentioned that crossbreed so he could tell people he had a golden weiner. Now this young man is over 50 years old and a respectable father, banker and church goer but sometimes the Irish still comes out in him. I got even though. I soundly beat all of them in a game of Phase Ten. I was losing at first and they let their guard down, probably thinking granny wasn't up to snuff but I showed them. Well, yawl take care. No special plans here today except to work on those leftovers some more later on. And there is a Christmas parade in Clermont that I might go to if it's not too cold out tonight. Seize the day!
