We had a very busy weekend but made some progress towards Christmas.   We bought a new tree - all pre lit which saves Jim nearly a whole day of &quot;arranging&quot; the lights on the tree - he becomes very particular - all wires must be hidden - like colors can&#39;t be too close together, etc.  I generally stay out of his way during that part of the decorating&#33;   Our Christmas party yesterday was good and afterwards we all went to the Outback for dinner to avoid having to ear party leftovers from Saturday.  I need to put a few more bows on the tree and then I&#39;ll take a pic and post it here.  I have been trying without success to take a picture of our Village but the reflection from the big window is not working out well. <br /><br />Steve - so glad your wife is OK.  If I were you I would probably refrain from making any comments about her MRI.  Her forhead may be OK but her sense of humor may have been bruised a bit in the fall.<br /><br />Sheryl - When does your Son and his family arrive?  Have you been on the Explorer before?  I hope you have a great trip.<br /><br />Jenn - How are you enjoying The Santa Cruise?   I have to find time to sit a while and finish mine.  I had been keeping it in the car for when I am waiting at the Doctors or anywhere else.  Helps to pass the time.<br /><br />Sue - how is your back today? <br /><br />Carmen - how was your weekend with Kaylee?  I&#39;m sure she had a wonderful time with you.<br /><br />Joey - Happy Anniversary in advance.   I&#39;m sure David has something special planned.  Enjoy&#33;&#33;<br /><br />RNSANE - You certainly have had a interesting life (if not a fun one) and now is your time to sit back and relax a bit.   It&#39;s great that you are posting so often and becoming such an active member of our Crazies family.<br /><br />Maria - don&#39;t go moving things around in DD&#39;s house.  You should be the official supervisor.   Find yourself a comfy chair and order everyone else around.<br /><br />Tonia - Sounds like your busy with all your baking.  <br /><br />Sue - how is your back today?<br /><br />Cheryl - Glad you had a nice dinner and tried a new place finally.  I don&#39;t blame you for now driving in the snow - I stay in also when the roads are covered.  <br /><br />Need to get jim up and moving - it is his week off but they asked if he would come in - today only - to help deliver the Christmas wreaths to the bank branches.  Once he sees the rain and fog outside he will not be a happy camper.<br /><br />Make today special and share a smile.   I really am going to venture into the basement to start wrapping gifts today so if you don&#39;t hear from me in a few days call out the dogs.  LOL
