Candy and cookies have been made and mailed. That’s a huge load off of my mind. I then went into full Christmas decorating mode. The tree is up and presents for Mom and daughter are under it. Knick-knacks and decorative cloths are distributed around the house. Yay! Done!

The garden is still waiting as I’ve been busy. Last Wednesday I spoke at the local Soroptimist’s meeting. I had a lovely lunch and met a lot of nice women. They seemed to enjoy my little speech and a handful of books were purchased. A good day. I also had three more people sign up for my newsletter. That’s a big win for me.

I’ve been talking to my Mom nearly every day. We’ve painted her room a light lavender, hung the curtains, and shampooed the carpet. The chest of drawers is painted, the bed assembled, a computer desk and chair were found at a local thrift shop and installed in the room. I bought a new quilt for the bed. It looks good in there. Hubby set up the TV to work with our Dish service and set up the computer for her too. She arrives tomorrow. I’m excited.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
