I love clementines, and this is usually the time of the year when they're at their best. I've been getting some really crummy ones lately. I was delighted to find these Cuties clementines in my grocery order this morning:


I'm not sure if the crummy ones were due to having to sit in a shipping container for a long period of time before being off-loaded or what. Hopefully all that stuff is getting better 🤞.

I ran my butt off doing errands today and am knackered. Nancy is making gingerbread cookies with Amelia.

I'm snuggled in bed watching Christmas movies.
First up, Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol.

I wrapped some gifts for my lawn care guys today. Everything is store bought. I have a very small vitronex key chain type Swiss Army knife for each of them, a jar of cashews for each, and they always get a bottle of Gatorade. They're good to me, so I just always like to give them a little something for Christmas.

Finishing up Christmas shopping at a large outlet village outside of Toledo.
I think we're eating at one of the restaurants there, unless we decide to go to Red Lobster.
I've promised several of my residents popcorn from Shirley's and cookies from Great American Cookies lol
I'm hoping to find myself a new The North Face jacket or coat.

Never found the jacket brand I wanted, but did find one at JC Penney.
A Free Country light coat, warmly lined and very nice.
60% off. Woot!
Got the cookies for my peeps and a large container of Chex Mix to make individual snack bags to hand out with the cookies tomorrow 😊

My great grandmother was an excellent artist. My brother took three of her paintings and had them reproduced at a height end art shop in Chicago. He gave my wife copies And Amelia’s mother took a liking to one of them but they were for Nancy. We took the one she liked and had it framed at a frame shop in the Tacoma Proctor District. We will give that to her for Christmas. We also got the poster for my bathroom reframed, using the the frame Andy made but with new matting and glass. They called and said they were ready so will go pick them up today. It’s going to be crazy in that area with Christmas shoppers.

JW - in regard to your post about giving your post person a plate of cookies:

I think that's a really good idea. The USPS people must be just swamped right now. I mailed my water bill on Dec 3rd. Today I received a late notice saying that they're were going to disconnect on the 28th...EEK. I called, and the woman told me that they received the pmt on the 15th and that same thing had happened to other people too. All is good now.

My postman is a great guy. We think alike. His wife teaches school and when we wanted to get rid of bookshelves gave them to him.

Yesterday, I made up a recipe for a baker's dozen of potato and dried mushroom pierogis (kinda hectic, as it used to take 3 of us to do this). In the freezer till Friday, when I will heat them up in a frying pan with butter, topped with fried out salt pork chunks.

Today I made a few golumpkis, also for Christmas Eve - just have to reheat them.

I've advised her to go apply at a nursing facility I worked at YEARS ago in Defiance, Ohio.
She's going to do that tomorrow.
The director is still there, I've already contacted her.

I’ll take a picture of the gift when she opens it and the other two tonight. My great grandmother hand painted French china and it was museum quality. Our pieces we have are boxed away.

Andy’s poster is still in the box and will get a picture when I hang it in my bathroom.
