Because of how people shop, Homestead Gardens has the opening night of the Christmas Shop literally on Halloween. I would always take Mom the night before ~ no one would be there and we could wander all around, no crowds. And we always found something special to use for decorations. It was great.
My friend Holly evidently went there the other day and sent pictures! I am so jealous!!!!!
I have purchased two small Christmas trees and Yes, a gift ~ and I have already sent out the e-mail to my sisters to get their lists up and ready. I know, I am pushing the season.
I am eyeballing the house to see where I am going to put the decorations ~ and it is 73 degrees here. This is when I should put up the outside lights, so I don't freeze my fingers off.
On the mom front, (I know....to go from the glorious holidays to mom) I took her to the doctor. She had a list: get the flu shot, get a dermatology consult, tell him that she is having trouble with her breathing (gets out of breath getting dressed, can't walk 20 feet).
The nurse did her pulse ox test, it was 99. Very good. Took her blood pressure, 100/70. Also pretty good. The doctor checked her ekg results from Maryland. What could be the problem? Well, I interjected and said that she wasn't doing any exercise, at all.
I evidently am the scurge of Mom's life. And then the doctor told Mom "no more salt and no more potato chips." Whoa!
And on that note.....Love to all!
