I wrote my last Christmas check and dropped it in the mail this morning, so that does it for me! It will be quiet and non-stressful from here on out. Looking forward to relaxing and doing things at my own pace which is SLOW right now. lol This year I am cutting back even more on my Christmas card list too, and sending them out only to family, a few neighbors, and close friends. I will get back on track with the holidays next year...it has just been a very busy fall for us and I am more tired than usual. I am going the EASY route this year.

Moxie, We have done that now for many years, give them all money for Christmas and Birthdays. Two sons and a daughter, five grandchildren, and three great grandsons not forgetting the son in law and Daughter's in law. They can buy what they like or stuff it away for a holiday somewhere. It also saves us a lot on shoe leather, cuts out all that walking about in shops and stores. Now snow yet in our part of Gods own County of Yorkshire, they do say that the Sun only shines on the righteous. So against all odds, we must be very righteous folk, either that or you can put it down to global warming. Just saying.

I just wrote out about a dozen Christmas cards, so I am going to have to run into the post office later. Really doing my cards late this year.

Moxie.
We don't have to cut our Christmas card list, it cuts itself, bar for our own family, the young ones, the rest and friends are old. Nature always takes it's course and friends die, so our list shortens year on year. Still, Mrs Jack and I are doing ok, the Grim Reaper hasn't called on us yet. I am confident of another four years yet, years ago when I was a lot younger, an old Gypsy told me that I would live to be 92 years old. She said I would have two walking sticks, I already use one, but got another in reserve. Just saying.

Sunshine, I have a Netflix series to recommend to you that has only one season so far, but I really like it! It is called ‘Virgin River’ and takes place in Northern California. Good storyline and beautiful scenery. Have you seen it? I am on episode 3, but I am glued to it! P.S. Jack, one of the lead characters, is some serious eye candy!! 😛

I just saw that Prince Philip was taken to the hospital. He’s 98?!? WOW!

I’m watching ‘Judge Judy’ and I just don’t care for her new pulled-back hairdo. She looked a lot younger and better in her last hairstyle that she had for years. JMO

So, the virus I have had for over a month and thought was almost gone...NOW I am sneezing, still coughing, and I have a sore throat! I feel drainage along my ears and throat. I wonder if I have a sinus infection now. I am going to give it a few days, take some OTC meds, and then maybe call the Dr. if it isn’t better. I NEVER go to the Dr. for ‘sick visits.’ It’s a good thing I have nothing pressing to do nor am I expecting any company. If I am in bed on Christmas Day, so be it!

It’s worth getting Netflix again just to see the guy who plays Jack.

I guess the homemade brownies and banana bread I just baked for you this morning won’t be going in the mail then.
