Weekly Tales: Catch-up

KayLynn · December 23, 2018 · 2 Comments

It’s been over a month since my last weekly tales post and I’ve been on the go, go, go so there’s lots to catch up on.  After returning from New Orleans I had a business trip to South Dakota, Thanksgiving vacation (cruise) and then a business trip to St. Louis where I came back and promptly got sick.

The following week included a trip to North Carolina followed by two wonderful weeks at home where I’ve been preparing for Christmas like crazy.

Highlights

The highlight of all of the activity was the Thanksgiving week cruise with our youngest son and his fiancee.  I”ll be recapping each day in the coming weeks but the weather was perfect, the ship was beautiful and a great time was had by all.

The next week my book club had the first holiday party and I loved this centerpiece at the table.

One of the members hosted and she gifted each of us a book club themed wine tumbler.

We dogsat our grand-dog, Stella for a few days including while her parents moved.

She’s a almost 60 pound puppy with loads of energy.  What could go wrong?  Ask my carpet. 🙂  But she has been put in her place by the cats and steers clear of them.  Speaking of the cats…

Buster’s kidney disease is worsening and he’s not eating much these past few days.  We’ve found Tuna entices him still so that’s what he’s getting.  We’re blessed to have had 15 1/2 years with this guy and are savoring every day left.

Looking Ahead

Tonight we’re having a early Christmas dinner with my YS and SF; he’s working Christmas Day at the fire station.  I’m cooking a turkey!  Monday we’re having lunch with dear friends and nothing much other than baking some cookies.

Tuesday we have tickets to the morning showing of AquaMan and then go to my in-laws for dinner that evening.  Then I’m back to work Wednesday!  We’re looking forward to enjoying time with our loved ones.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

    Just reading your schedule makes me tired – glad you get a brief respite for the holiday. Looking forward to seeing you two today – that place is one of our faves!

      Yes, I’m so happy about the travel break; no wonder I got a bad cold! See you soon!
