Almost...

The price of gas at our local stations is down to $1.51!!! Maybe by the end of the week it will be below $1.50. Then I can start the countdown for it to be under $1.00. Whoohoo...life is grand!

Our Thanksgiving was wonderful. I can not say enough about how much I enjoyed it. We had fourteen people and everything turned out so well. The food was great and everyone helped out by bringing something. Our lives are so full of good family and good friends and I am thankful for both.

We missed CDM2 on Thanksgiving, she had to work and then made dinner for her boyfriend and his family. Maybe we will get to see her next year!

CDM1 came a few days early to help out. We enjoyed his company so much. That kids is so stinkin funny! I can't wait to visit him at his house over Christmas vacation. We are going to help him do some work around his house. Hopefully we can help him get alot done while we are there. I am really looking forward to that!!

We got up early Friday and drove to Abilene. MSH "needed" to do some more deer hunting! He shot his second deer on Saturday morning. I am so gald that MSH and my brother get along so well and that they have common interest.

I have been put on "buying meat probation", I am not allowed to buy anymore meat unless it's under about $.50 a pound. Which will never happen. Apparently when MSH went to clean out the deep freezer to make room for all the deer meat, he found a ton of meat. I guess when I go look in the deep freezer, I open the lid, look around and shut the lid and the next day I go to the store and buy all the meat that is on special that week!

So, I will admit I am usually the last to know the latest trends and things that are popular. Today at work two of the guys were talking about ordering these, I must have had a blank look on my face, because one of them said "she has no idea what we are talking about". Well as soon as they left, I did a google search. Within 20 minutes I had ordered some. They will make a great Christmas present for our sweet granddaughter! I ordered the monkey, duck, cow and chicken! I can't wait to play with them. With the sweet granddaughter, of course!

We have so many plans over the next four weeks. I feel so blessed this holiday season. MSH and I are in such a great place. We have setteled into our married life so wonderfully and every thing is so perfect. We could not have written a better story for each of us. There is not much we would change at this point.

More later!
