We finally made it home after 3 months on the road. It has been a long haul trying to get here. We couldn't get any loads heading this way so we just decided to dead-head home from St. Louis. We arrived around 8 p.m. Friday night and had to call a wrecker out to jump the car and get it out of the driveway. We were so exhausted after that we called it a night. On Saturday morning we got up, went to the post office and collected our "bulk" mail and headed out to run some errands. The first one was to the beauty supply for some much-needed supplies. This was our first stop (even before the grocery store--some things are more important than food) and was closer than Meijer, which was our second stop. On the way home we decided to stop at Steak N' Shake for breakfast. It's been a while since I'd had breakfast there and they've added several new items to their menu. We had a Portobello and cheese skillet that was delicious. Definitely a keeper in our book! Now we hope to get a lot of things done while we're home including celebrating Christmas and birthdays.
It was wonderful to be able to worship this morning in our home church. The children and youth had their annual Christmas program and did a wonderful job. The decorations and sets for the program really set me in the Christmas mood. I came home, got out the holiday dishes, made dinner and then made my usual fudge. My party mix batch will be the next thing.
I think we will be finishing up our Christmas shopping tomorrow. I have to get 2 boxes ready to get in the mail. And then the wrapping begins. But I love all of it. Besides all of the hubbub it's time for renewal of meds, we both need new glasses and Ron has a terrible cold. Hopefully he will be over it before next weekend.
We are wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas season and the very best for the coming new year. Until next time . . . . . . . .
