yes Buffy, your card is on the way. As are all the other OW people who sent me addy's.
Nothing personal is written on ANY cards this year. DH was in a big hurry to get them mailed, and pre-stuffed and taped the envelopes shut before we addressed them. But it's all done and they went in the mail yesterday
The candlelighting is tonight at 7pm. There was one at the cemetary yesterday too, but for EVERYONE. There were luminaries all over the graveyard and around all the little tombs. I put a luminary in front of K's spot, and a small lantern on top of the niche space with a tealight inside it.
I wanted to light a candle at the cemetary tonight, but knew the weather wouldn't let me. Sure enough, there is snow falling heavily now and the roads are turning white. That may not be a big deal in places where snow is a routine thing, but around here everyone freaks out. I can drive in snow and ice; It's the other guys that scare me.
So I'll light 17 candles in the house tonight. I was going to light more than that, but decided to be reasonable. Next year I'll do 18....
B&B makes some nice smelly stuff. I did Avon smelly stuff for all the familial hard-to-buy-for peeps this year.
I have a turkey in the oven, but no friends were able to come eat with us. So DH, DD and I will have turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, asparagus and dinner rolls for dinner. We'll wash it down with ginger ale. I have a warm fire in the fireplace, and most all the presents wrapped or at least prepped. Next week should be easy
Meals will be easy: LEFTOVER TURKEY!!!!
