   The year is almost over.  Can yo believe it?  How is everybody doing?

   Hopefully this will post.  My internet connection has been very spotty the last couple of days.  That also shut down my mind.  I have no energy now (ok, perhaps cold weather had something to do with that) and so far I haven't found where my energy went.

   Did I tell you that Dan gave me a dryer for Christmas?  He and Zak took it back because it wasn't working although it worked at the store.  That meant they brought it back.  Shalom had his electrician come out today to look at it.  He says that Shalom needs to replace the fuse which he hopes to get to this week.  It never is  dull moment here.

   I did something that I haven't done in ages.  I bought a gam.  It is called Shut the Box and it came in.  It can be played with one person up to four people.  

   I have been having fun playing it.  That also got me in the mood to play Yahtzee so I have also been playing that in my down time.  By down time I actually mean by time that I didn't feel like anything else. That also has been a lot.  LOL.

  I have also been making egg nog for Dan and Shalom.  It its that time of year where cooking takes over rafting since I give food out for presents.  I am getting close to the time when I will get back to sewing.    First up with probably be the sewing machine table topper/candle mat.  I have decided what I will do for the borders so I can get past that stumbling block.

  

   So that means tomorrow I wall get some stuff set up.  I have to get things reedy for the cold spell that is coming in over the weekend,  Making sure that the battery for my heated vest (thank you Dan) is charged up.  I will make sure that I have the heaters all set up for the evenings to help keep the water pipes from freezing.  Nothing new there.  Stuff that I do every night in the winter time.  

   

   I don't have much else to report except that I have some nice new bookmarks and scissors to go with the new needle minder.  So much to consider and get somewhat organized.  I'll let you know how it goes.

   I hope everybody has a great day/night.  Stay safe out there.
