I am at a loss as to what to write this morning.  The devastation up north, a friend's mother passing last night, my pain is still very real and still happening....so much bad.  I want some good news don't you?

To be honest, I am glad Halloween is over and the happy holidays are on their way.  I don't do much decorating any more, but my children do and I get to go see all of theirs and not have to put up or take down!  lol  My oldest daughter is kicking off the season with a Ladies Brunch at her house Saturday.  This is the third year she has done it and enjoys having all the ladies in the family in her home.  She does it up right!!!

The  big tree I had last year finally "bit the dust" and I threw it into the trash.  I may use the ladder as a tree--

----and top it with a poinsettia

OR

--use my little table tree and put it on top of

the stump table----

Haven't decided yet, but at least I have options and both will be easy.....now days that is what I crave - easy!


I love the music of the season and have been teased for years about playing it too soon, and for too long, but hey, it is my music right?  lol

My new Kindle Fire HD came yesterday, so will be taking pain meds, sitting in recliner with my legs up, and when I don't fall asleep, will try to get used to the new gadget!  Anyone that has one, have any tips?
