Home Happenings

November arrived on a beautiful Kansas day where temps were in the 70's.  Daylight Savings Time ends this Sunday on my Son's 35th Birthday.  Not ready for the earlier sun sets.  The change will come too soon.  The next Presidential Election will be held next week and I for one have my concerns of where the United States of America is headed.  I have to remind myself that God is still on the throne and we can pray. 

Perry Mason is on the television and all else has gone to bed already.  Sleep is awaiting me in my bedroom.  So many nights I drift off to sleep thinking about decorating my home.  Hubby has been drawing up new plans for the kitchen that will begin to take shape.  We have our sink with faucet and a stove waiting in the garage to make their way after some indoor work is completed.

Tonight we stopped off at Loews and priced some counter top material.  Took the Grand-daughter to the Christmas part of the store and saw what there was to see.  This year I hope to go ahead and start figuring out how to make Christmas decorations start showing up early.  I will dust the Parlour and vacuum the furniture this week-end to make way for Christmas.  I'd like to go ahead and set the Flocked Christmas Tree in the Conservatory and admire it as it turns in a circular motion.  Not sure if we'll use our gold and silver ornaments or go with something else.  A pleasant decision to think about.  Perhaps Hubby will get some lights up on the house while the temperatures are still mild. 

Thinking about the last few weeks makes me happy it's the week-end.  Lord willing I will get caught up on laundry and unpack the suitcase that was used for last week-end.  We went to Oklahoma to celebrate a Grandson's 3rd Birthday and I'm just now feeling rested up from the quick trip.

Last week my oldest son suffered with trying to pass a kidney stone.  Younger Son was served divorce papers.  Grieving about this.  Daughter was hit hard with food poisoning or a touch of the flu.  I took her to the Emergency Room and she was treated with anti-nausea meds.  She is feeling much better.  Since she was ill, she stayed home as the rest of us traveled to Oklahoma to celebrate Grandson's 3rd Birthday.  The Kids went to the Mall and Trick or Treated.  On the way home, we stopped by and visited with my Folks.  Hurricane Sandy made herself known and so many people need prayer.  This week Hubby had a sore throat and upper respiratory infection.  Doctor's visit for him and much rest needed.  Handed out pretzels to the Trick or Treaters on a pleasant evening.  Today I had my teeth cleaned at the Dentist and afterwards shopped the local Thrift Shop.

I picked up some books, a few framed pictures, a couple of coffee cups, a sweater for me, artificial Christmas greenery, a candle, a Christmas Movie, a door wreath, a milk glass goblet,  some jewelry, some tiny snowmen.

As I drove the car across the Flint Hills.....I thought to myself, I love doing this.
