Christmas Shopping

I took my brother Christmas shopping yesterday. It was a great deal of fun to be able to get him some things that he would not ordinarily be able to afford himself. We had a very good time and we are very close and always have been close. So we always have a good time together talking over old times and such. We had a great Mexican lunch too and I got to see my niece that I had not seen in awhile. It was a fun day.

Yoga Mat Bag

Many people are attending Yoga classes now. However, what do you do with all your things when you go to class. What you really need is a good yoga mat bag. They are very convenient to carry and you can get them in several styles. You have a number of color choices as well. Perhaps you think they are too expensive, however, they are very reasonable and you can choose your own price range and style. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how low the cost of owning a yoga at bag can be and you will love the convenience.

Holly

I sure do miss my little Holly. She was the best little dog we ever had. It is too bad that dogs don't live longer. She was a Boston Terrier and she learned tricks so quick.

We really hated it when she got sick and we knew we would have to take her to the Vet and have her put to sleep. She was so much company and fun.

Switch Plate Covers

Every day in our homes, we use switch plate covers and never really think much about them. But actually they are a very important part of every home or business, anywhere there are switches. When redecorating our home, I checked out the Internet and was pleasantly surprised at how many different designs of switch plate covers there are. You can match them to your decor, choosing your favorite colors in some cases, or single or double switch plates. It is easy to pick out some that will catch visitors eyes and add good looks to your home.

Eclipse of the Moon

I got to watch a part of the lunar eclipse this morning. I could see it plainly out my west window. I saw about a good 1/3 of it and then when I came back, clouds had moved in and I missed the rest. My daughter said she got to see the moon under total eclipse. That is so neat. It won't happen again, they say, until 2014.

Tea and Cookies

There is nothing better than a good hot cup of tea and one or two fresh cookies. I decided last night I was going to bake some cookies. I had purchased a box of ready to bake frozen chocolate chunk cookies from the two Girl Scouts next door. I had the box in the freezer and decided it was time to bake some. They are already to put on your cookie sheet and nothing could be easier. You can bake a dozen or two. It makes it easy to have just a few around. Or if you have company coming, bake a couple dozen. I think there are about 4 dozen in the box so I have lots more I can bake and enjoy.

Step Throat

Saturday was to be one of our little great grandson's second birthday. However, he got sick and they found he had strep throat. Of course, the party had to be called off. That was sad for him and everyone. He is getting better and hope his brother doesn't get it also. This is the season when it sees like everyone is getting colds and more.
