I sorted through the old outside lights, and found a few strings still working. I managed to hang some on the front porch without climbing a ladder. So happy about that, and the other table is mostly cleaned off and ready to don a new Christmas table cover.
Never run out of batteries. Sigh. I do believe the reason Jesse has gotten us up so early, is that he refuses to do his business late the night prior, due to his collar light not working. The battery died, but alas, we have replaced them, and will have flashlights on backup. Now I find him sleeping soundly at 5:30am. What a relief. Getting us up at 2:30am was not fun.
We've been sipping hot herbal throat teas here lately. Warding off whatever germs have come home from Hubby's work and Daughter's school.
Speaking of Daughter, she is now the understudy for this school year's musical - Drowsy, in the Drowsy Chaperone. She had hoped to land the main character, but landed the main character's understudy. I told here she has one more year to try and get the star lead. We are pretty proud of her.
We enjoyed some garden comfort food the other night - tuna and noodle with homemade condensed mushroom soup, garden sweet potatoes with "full throttle herb/spice mix" and green beans (sadly not from my garden but good).
New item for next Christmas - hat and scarf for dressing up a bottle of wine, herbal oil, etc. This will be topping a bottle of wine for one gift this Christmas. So cute too.
Daughter came home from school, and announced they are doing a gift exchange in her cosmetology class. She asked me to whip up a handmade gift (so proud she is all for handmade). I was up for the challenge now that the craft shows are over for the year. These will be added to craft show events soon.
I also had a customer ask me to crochet a different type of ornament. Gulp.

It's getting packed up and shipped to her ("f" bomb).
