Once a month?

I guess if I manage to hit here once a month, I can't complain.

The week of Thanksgiving was busy - our friend and his son did come up Saturday, Nov. 17......they wished to stay the whole week, which was fine by us! So....we had 4 for Thanksgiving dinner! It was nice...usually it's just me and Ed, so we don't actually cook "the works". They went home Sat., Nov 24. We had planned to go to VT to see Ed's dad that following weekend, but, sadly, he took a downhill turn and passed away Sunday, Nov. 25. We spent the rest of that day postponing work, arranging for coverage for service calls and packing and left for VT Monday morning. The funeral was Thursday, so we were gone the whole week, coming back home on Saturday, Dec. 1. Between the grieving process and getting all the postponed work caught up with, we've had a very busy couple of weeks since.

When we started the business, we turned our small den/office into a business office. We thought we could get by for a year or so just by adding a 4 foot table to our existing office furniture (a student desk, a computer workstation, a printer stand and a 2 drawer lateral file). Well, we were wrong........because of the set up, we're tripping over each other when we're both trying to work in there at the same time . I decided that, when I couldn't fit another file into the file cabinet, we officially outgrew that set up!! We've decided that we need to go shopping and get "real" office furniture...the room is very small, but with the right set-up, it can work. The only worry I have is that we may end up having to use a hutch type desk set up, which would mean blocking one of the windows....I really hate the thoughts of that, so will probably spend much more time shopping for "the right thing" than hubby would like!!

I've finished all the Christmas shopping for our DD, SIL and DGD...and everything has been shipped. Ed and I don't exchange gifts...we just buy each other a little stocking stuffer...and I do mean little - our stockings are 6 or 7 inch felt ones! We have an elderly couple that are very good friends that we will buy something for.....I've already picked out hers, and I'm leaving his gift up to Ed to choose.

I've not picked up a crochet hook in 3 weeks.....started a sweater for a friend's little guy, but haven't had the ambition to work on it lately. Where is my muse?????

Done ramblin.
