((((((((Betty))))))  Hopefully, everything will come back just fine.

I like chit chat! :D  My husband grabbed all the green tomatos off the 
vines in our backyard the day that it was supposed to freeze that night. 
  I don't have anything to bring in and if I did I wouldn't have 
anywhere to put it.  I'd love to have a greenhouse, but it's still in 
the planning stages for like the 5th year, I think! LOL

We went to my daughters house for thanksgiving.  The whole family were 
there including her in-laws.  We ate and played with the grand kids and 
played a game called "Times UP" (I think that was the name of it)... I 
was off work from Weds afternoon before Thanksgiving until Tuesday of 
this week, which was a good break. I needed the time off to just do 
nothing.  We had my oldest daughter and her hubby and the grand kids 
over Sunday night for dinner and I played with my 3 yr old granddaughter 
letting her jump on my rebounding trampoline.  She wore herself out! 
Then I got to play with my 3mos old grandson.  He's smiling a lot now 
and can almost "laugh".  He's a sweetheart!  Monday, I went and took my 
day off to run errands.  I had to fill a new eye glasses prescription, 
so I did that, then ate lunch with my husband... then went shopping and 
bought a few things.  Monday night I went for my ballroom dance lesson, 
and then went back to work on Tuesday... It was a fun holiday.

My husband decided that he wanted to have a Christmas train for the 
grand kids, so I bought him an HO gauge train set, which my 
granddaughter was absolutely fascinated with watching it go 'round and 
'round on the oval track.  The project has blossomed tho because we now 
have plans to build something more of a Christmas city.  I'm going to do 
an N gauge train in the background he will do the HO size in the 
foreground.  :)

I've had times when I felt the same way.  I can't really stand the 
commercialization or the crowds, but I love the holiday lights and 
decorations.
