Hard to believe, don’t blink or you’ll miss it! Yesterday we dug out our tree from the attic and Lori as usual made our home look like something out of a Hallmark card. I thought we were maybe a bit early but today am thinking we’re late! We were going to go to the football game but I could tell Lori wasn’t really up to it so I sold the tickets and stayed home to help, although I really didn’t do much except watch football. Still it was good to spend the day at home, even though it was the game of the century! Oh well, there’s always the Buffalo game on December 7th.
As you know the boys are off this week. I woke up at 4:30 for a 5am conference call with my guy in New York only to call him and have him ask “didn’t you get my text”? When I said no he told me the meeting had been moved to next week. Oh well, sleep is overrated anyhow.
Today after my 9am conference call I’m going to throw the boys in the truck (not literally of course) and drive up into the hills a bit to get our Christmas tree cutting permits. Up first though will be a trip to the gym and then a stop at the store as we’re out of coffee! I don’t know how this happened as I always buy in bulk meaning about 20 pounds at a time. Trust me, you don’t want to see Lori without her coffee.
Next up will be starting to get stuff together to take the boys skiing this week. Lori works today and tomorrow and then is off until December 1st which is good timing as we all just need a break. A special thanks to Dixie and Don who for Christmas bought our season passes for skiing. Without them we couldn’t really ski much as it’s just too expensive these days ($90 per person per day) and the deadline was yesterday. I could do without it but the boys really want to go and they should as it’s a great sport that they can have fun with their whole life, and of course I just can’t drop them at the curb, so the three of us will be whizzing down the slopes. Lori with her neck surgery is verbotten (that’s German) from the slopes! Good news is we’ll have curbside service as she can drop us off and pick us up each day. Maybe I’ll get her a little chauffeur outfit for Christmas, that’ll go over big! I’m going to try to get them on the slopes 3 days this week at least.
Time to run so I can get to the gym and as I said, get Lori her coffee! Hope everyone is well, take care and God Bless.
