Good afternoon 🌞 ... it’s been a busy day! Mark and Marky-Mark went to Lowes to buy two exterior doors for the project house. Later, Mark took a load of scrap metal for recycling. About 3 o’clock a banshee wind whipped through and sent our Sycamore leaves and a branch flying to the neighbor’s yard! Wow! Where did that come from? When we watch the news this morning we found there had been several tornado touchdowns south of us yesterday. There had been quite a lot of damage near the coast.

So it’s the shortest day of the year! Nice to know it’s on the upside from here on. 🌞 Did you know today’s sunset was 5 minutes later than 10 days earlier this month? Whhhaaatttt? Yeah, astronomical noon and time noon don’t always match. Ha. So there.  

Watching news tonight ... we must be ready for Trump’s temper tantrum that is coming ... no wall funding ... stock market loss worst in 10 years ... a government shutdown ... General Maddenn leaving; the rats are fleeing the sinking ship. Even Fox & Friends is against Trump ... disagreeing on pulling troops out of Syria and Afghanistan and paving the path for ISIS to rise again. 

 

But, these things are out of my control ... so Ho Ho Ho it’s nearly Christmas. 🎅🏼

Tomorrow morning, we are picking up Karen & Pete’s dog, Lexi, at the vet. The vet closes at noon and she would have to stay over Christmas. So, we’re picking her up and keep her til they get back a little later.
