We made our weekly trip to MV on Friday. We did our usual shopping trips around town. I was dragging around my right leg for the better part of the day and it just wore me out. I have developed a plantar fasciitis, which is a pain in the foot. I also picked up a new novel by Michael Connelly (The Brass Verdict); very good. I would finish it on Saturday.
Friday night, we also set up our new fake, 9 foot Christmas tree. Since we are not around except on weekends, having a live tree didn't make much since.
When we got home, I was shot. I went to sleep at 7:30 P.M. and woke up at 1:30 A.M. and was quite ready to get up, but I fought it for a while only to say forgetaboutit, and got up at 3:00 A.M.,went down stairs and read, and called my brother Pat in Indiana.
Saturday was more shopping, sleeping, and reading. We did go to a party at friend's home just a few down from ours. It was fun. Good food, Diet Coke aplenty, and adult beverages for those who drink such things. We also played a Christmas quiz game with 18 questions. I would love to say I got close to winning, but that would delusional thinking. Brandi did, however, win. Actually, I can't remember what she won. We also did a gift exchange, but with a twist. You could open any gift, keep it, or someone could steal it from you. I did not open a gift. I stole the gift from our friend Lorrie. It was a box of Hot Chocolates; seven boxes with six packets per box. I actually gave her three of them the next day so she could send them to her Hubby who is soon to be in Irag.
Oh, but prior to going to the party, it began to snow and it did not stop. We must have gotten 5 inches of this beautiful snow. It really makes the Cascade and Olympic mountains beautiful.
Sunday morning, Brandi put the lights on the tree. It therefore looks like a "Brandi Tree", that would be a mix and match of lights, with no real symmetry. Oh well.
Take care.
