sunday

We're going to rake leaves today.
I think they look pretty on the ground while they're still colorful, but boyfriend thinks they need to be cleaned up.
It's beautiful outside so it should feel great being out there..............I had 2 very large trees removed last year, and right now I'm glad............usually this time of year my deck would literally be buried. Not so this year.

I started Christmas shopping last night online.......I like looking at everything before I buy......so I really didn't shop....I just looked at lots of stuff, and compared prices. It will make shopping easier.

I need to do a little cleaning, today but more important  I need to work on daughters Senior Night collage. Senior night is this Friday. It's a very important night for daughter. (By the way, go to you tube and see the video "Boys of Fall" It will make you cry. It did me anyway.) I want the collage to be really special. I was thinking of incorporating the words from Carole Kings "Child of Mine" into the collage. Not sure. I already have the display board painted a metallic silver. It looks pretty good. All that's left to do is to sift through about a million pictures and choose the ones I'll use. It's times like this that I wish I was more organized.

From what I've read you are organized and seem to keep a handle on whatever is going on at the time. Good luck on your project for this friday. I am sure it will be awesome.

I don't rake leaves, I run over them a couple times with my mulching mower and return them to the earth which they become part of.

Well, I never even mowed my grass this year so why bother with the leaves.

There is a good post card about college on Post Secret today. It works for some, but not everyone.

I'm done with my christmas shopping, I'm not buying anyone a damn thing for christmas.

Thanks, Odie. You always make me feel good.

Billy, I'd probably let the earth have the leaves in my yard if my house wasn't for sale.
I bet you will buy Helen a gift.
I read the Post Secret about college. There are no guarantees either way.

No, I'll give her a gift but I won't buy her one. In all the years we've known each other we have never exchanged christmas gifts, we are just not into all that fake crap.

All a wise old lady of 88 needs or wants is some company and a few hugs. Actually, that is all that wise lady ever needed even when she was young, material things mean nothing to her.

And some wood put in her wood box.

it's sweet the way you take care of Helen, Billy.
