Nope, Taria. You are 30 days late. The Canadian geese arrived from their summer in the great north yesterday and quite a raucous gang they are. The Christmas catalogs for gifts came in today. The younger generation in this family begin Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. SO. Nay. NOT 4 months. Three. Polly

Taria, ducking and running

The Christmas wrap was out in the dollar store last night. Along with Halloween and Thanksgiving stuff.

We are well above average temperatures so seeing something to remind you of the fall and wionter seasons does a good job psychologically.

Oh, year, the moon has been gorgeous. On moonrise there was just enough "gunk" in the air to turn it a real pretty color!

Our courtroom is basically a civil courtroom [people suing people], but when we are "open" [no trials going on, just our everyday morning calendar], we are often tapped to do criminal proceedings. Right now we are in between trials - one finished yesterday afternoon, next one starts Tues morning. So this morning we were tapped for criminal hearings. Just as we started, there was a hiccup in the building power generator. I don't know if it was the power company grabbing juice or what, but our lights flickered, dimmed, and a loud noise from the roof right above us had us scrambling. My bailiff moved over to the in- custody deft to keep him secure in case we went lights out. All I was trying to do then was save the screens on my four different software systems up ;) We lost the a/c for several hours, but I had a small fan.

I think the 'point' was a reminder to those of us who celebrate Christmas that if we had something to be stitched that we'd better get going. Last Christmas, some of our loved ones just happened to mention that they surely would love to have tree skirts. I finished one in January. I've piled my Christmas fabrics out on the cutting table. That's a start. Polly

"J*" whats your point?

sorry. j.

Been on the countdown since 25th June!!!

OK, DH and I both have winter birthdays, so wanted a summer wedding, so that we could have something to celebrate mid-year. The only week-end free in June, the year we got married was the 25th, hence we countdown to anniversary and then back to Christmas!!!

Meanwhile, I'm taking my name off this sour note.

R/S- quilting w/ joy

I was thinking of the same thing before surgery.....don't think the quilts will be done beforehand but that's ok, too.
