    Last Saturday I went to the annual Craft Christmas show at the United Methodist Church.  What a surprise.  There were no egg noodles and only 2 tiny little angel food cakes.  I did find a nice lady to visit with and purchase some Avon things from.

    She told me her name and gave me permission to use her photo but my old mind has forgotten it.  Sorry dear lady if you are reading this and sorry it took me so long to get this in my blog.  Wait, I think her first name is Pat.  I hope that is true.  There were lots of nice crafts there.  I don’t have room in my place for more crafts although I do enjoy them.

    I have to go now.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Tomorrow is to start out very nice, then rain later in the day and Nasty by Sunday...but it suppose to be up to 60 degrees. when it warms up then it rains. I was hoping to get lots of yard work done and wash my windows. I may do them , if nothing else. Hope you can find something fun or interesting this weekend. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    6. I don't mind a dreary day now and then, but don't like them day after day. I put on lots of lights in the house and pretend its the sun shining. : )

    7. We're having a bit of a gray day here, too, though the temperatures are much warmer than the past few days. The week-end is actually predicted to be rather nice.

      I hope your Friday is a good one!

    8. What a nice lady:) I had SAD and moved away from Wisconsin and now I'm not sad anymore. I can take all the crazy weather but not the long gray overcast skies:(

    9. We have very few gray and dreary days in Arizona, so when one does come, it is actually a nice change. The craft show looks like it was fun! Hope your weather calms down and brightens up!

    10. I don't suffer from SAD, but I do feel for people that do.
      The Avon lady looks sweet. Sounds like you enjoyed yourself.
      Stay safe in that crazy weather.

    12. Hello Pat I am sure that is your name I am glad you met our Beth.
      Oh take care Beth, HUG B

    13. She/Pat is a lovely lady in her beautiful blue shirt. I really used to enjoy the church sales, but since I used to go with my mother, they're not the same anymore. Life changes, but I should try again...perhaps go with a friend.

    16. One of my boys gets down when it is weather like that. But now he's married I don't think he thinks of it too much now. :-)))

    17. I am not aware of SAD...I suppose because we can still go out and about in our winter where I live.
      I like the photo of the lady :)

    18. I like "safe" storms!! I love to stay home and bunker down for a day and feel like it's o.k. to stay in my p.j.'s and eat all day!!

      I don't know if they have initials for that ;)

    19. It's rainy here, but fairly warm. I think we're having chillier weather than we usually get, though.

      Love,

    20. I know you had a great time at the craft show. I love that kind of thing. We had some guests last week from Russia and they talked about how it is dark for most of the day in winter where they live. I would not do well with that!

    21. Weather here will be nice until Monday then we may get what you had. Of course I'm talking about the weather.
      Can I interest you in 1500 comic books?

    24. As I posted on my reply to you Beth, the weather here on the south coast of UK has bee quite pleasant for a couple of days, they forecast an icy blast for next week though. I love your new look, so seasonal.
      I've started doing some crafting , making cards, so therapeutic, but a drain on the pocket money :-) I must post some up. Take care and wrap up warm.

    30. I'm just now reading this for the first time - after the tornado hit your area. Thank God you are okay -shaken up from the ordeal - but okay. Carole had notified as many as she could on your behalf, which I was thankful for. I've been watching the radar all afternoon and was afraid your area had been hit. Thoughts and prayers will be with you as you recover from the shock and your community gets put back together. Love and hugs, Mary
