Last Christmas

Lovely to get together with my friend, Tina, yesterday afternoon. She'd worked it out: we haven't seen each other for over nine years! She'd bought me this lovely orchid.

Called into a garden centre on the way home to find it full - FULL - of Christmas decorations, and playing Christmas music. Left quickly.

Walked with Daughter and dogs this morning. A misty murky one but stayed dry if you don't count the sea mist on the beach - which we didn't.

Toby likes to chew sticks. It's no wonder I always take him home with a bleeding mouth.


GrandDaughter2 carved most of this herself.


Yesterday I managed 460 words on MyNoWriMo. Today I am deleting 92 of those as irrelevant to the plot. Still progress.

I love that take on pumpkin carving! So much more fun than faces. You don't exactly live in your friends' pockets, do you? That's about my speed, too.
Onward with nanowrimo. Removing the capitals to keep it low-key!

What a cute pumpkin house! Two storey, even!

I am impressed with GD2's creation.

I like the pumpkin house - typical little girl thing.

The pumpkin is adorable. Costco and Lowe's had Christmas stuff out well before Halloween. It's exhausting. Christmas trees for sale across from giant skeletons.

Love,
Janie

Wow, Toby grinds those sticks right up.
That's a really nice pumpkin, your granddaughter did a great job.

How wonderful to meet up with a friend you haven't seen in so long. And what a lovely gift. Yes Christmas is full blown right now. I have most of my christmas shopping done so there is that. Your grands carving skills are wonderful.
