Our pest guy finally did call last night about the mice but we had gone to the Bradley game so got his message when we got home so I called and left him a message to call us back today.
Bradley did win their game but only by the skin of their teeth. They played a good first half but fell apart in the second half and lost a fantastic lead and only won by two points. It was a conference game so lucky for them that they won. Normally they don’t play conference games until closer to Christmas but we found out other teams in the league had the chance to play big ten teams during that time so the conference moved up this game to free up that time so they could get exposure to what it’s like playing big ten teams. They play again on Saturday but this is a non-conference game.
Debbie is in town today getting new brakes on Maija’s Mazda so Fred will pick her up at Meineke and she’ll visit with us while the car gets done.
I was trying to think of a special treat for Fred and me if we don’t go to Debbie’s for Christmas and my sister messaged me that she was going to have a variety of cookies for her family. I bake very little these days and not cookies at all but our bakery makes some delicious ones so I might get a couple for us as I just want a little treat not something that’s here tempting me. I might also get one of their Danish for us to share with eggs Christmas morning.

It could be in the upper 70s by afternoon. Beautiful sunny weather. Doctor's appointment this morning. I need to wash a couple of loads today.
Have a great second day of December.
Coffee calling.

Hi!
This morning, I made breakfast pizza for lunch, and I'm thinking of making a quick pan of muffins after a while. The urge may leave, but my cleaning lady comes today, so she'll clean the floor! I tend to spill -- I'm not a very tidy cook any more. Sigh...
We'll stay warm through tomorrow, and then get a little cooler, so I would really like to get out. If only the allergies weren't so bad! I talked with the friend across the sidewalk yesterday, and she said that her allergies are bad now, too.
I hope to get back to work on DGS1's book either today or tomorrow. I may also look at Walgreen's site about printing a book for Bonus DGS1 and his SO. I also need to find a gift for the baby for Christmas.
Tonight I will make the porcupine meatballs for dinner. I didn't need more tomatoes yesterday, so I put it off for a day.
Hugs! Diane

Diane: I have no idea what porcupine meat balls are.....I've seen you or someone else mention them before but have no idea at all what they are.
Mike, my car detailer is here doing my car so my plan to have the dog and cat nails done is out of the question today. Bobbie is here and will be bathing Jim today but he is back in bed already after breakfast. So, I guess we will get an argument when it is time for that. He has been sooooo argumentative. It is sad.
See you all later for tuck in.
Enjoying cool weather......Kathie (66 degrees at 10:30...maybe we won't get into the 80's today)

I laundered my sheets this morning and now they are back on the bed. I finally made a dental appointment for next Friday. I have a crown to replace. It's currently 57 degrees feels like 54. I went to a soup supper at church last night. They have it before the Advent service.

81 now. Oh my Doctor said I am super healthy. Came home and Bill was here holding Bearly. We had a quick microwavable lunch then 2 rounds of rumicub. He left to go home and rest. He doesn't get much sleep with that thing attached to him.

So when Debbie stopped by she said she is doing Christmas and wants us to come, unless the weather is bad. I again asked if I could bring something and at first she said no we’ll have more than enough food. But then she said well if you really want to bring something how about your 7 layer salad? I guess Maija thought I was bringing it on Thanksgiving and was very disappointed when I didn’t. So of course I will bring that. She didn’t used to eat it because of bacos on top but when I told her bacos is not bacon but a soy product she started eating it and loves it!

Porcupine Meatballs are lot of hamburger, lot of rice and lot of seasonings and simmered in tomato, some use tomato soup some use tomato sauce . I do not like rice so never make them but my Grandma did. My brothers loved them.
My new washer came today but haven't tried it. He did turn it on to be sure it would start up. I have the instruction booklet so I will be okay. but was decorating outside today and it seems to take me longer time this year. It was not bad temp. wise but wind was very gusty but I did okay. a sweater and a sweatshirt and my leggings and boots. just the front porch railing, all the lights on the garland were working, checked that out first. Can't replace the pine come bulbs. Imagine with will be the last year for them Not even sure they sell them anymore but like them cause they are bigger bulbs. Works great when snow comes as it melts the snow where the bulb is and makes the garland really pretty. I bought some candy cane wind spinners and put 4 around the mail box in front and 2 on side of house by my favorite neighbor side. She used to put lights on her railing as well and maybe I should see if she needs help with that. She has nails under the railing for her's.
Haven't seen hide nor hair of her today.
Sandy , hope you have a good visit with Debbie today, nice to have her alone for a change I am sure, I always like those times with my DDs.

I finally found a Walgreens that I could get an appointment for the Moderna booster earlier than January - it’s next Thursday. Apparently not all Walgreens have the Moderna booster but do have the Pfizer so I will go to the different one and Fred will get his at the Walgreens on the corner of our street.

I will get the moderna booster. I'm in no hurry. Afraid of side effects.
Good night 😴💤💤😴

My car detailer was here and did a marvelous job on my car. He was sick for a long time so he hasn't done it for about 6 months.....so, it was badly needed. I can't take my car thru a car wash because of the scooter ramp attached to the back of my car. Jim has been sleeping most of the day. He was up for lunch at 1:30 and almost fell asleep in the scooter while eating his sandwich. He still hasn't gotten up for dinner yet at 8:30. So, it has been a quiet day since Bobbie left. I'm not sure yet if she will be here tomorrow or not. They often go to their trailer on Friday but Maria will be here to clean.
Tucking you all in now in our SUPER SOFT BLANKET WHICH IS GREEN IN COLOR WITH BUTTERFLIES AND CANDY CANES ALL OVER. (It matches my Christmas tree) SWEET DREAMS!
Enjoying Cool Weather Kathie
