splashed-- a bright day but no sun and would you beleive its only -3 so I guess we will maybe have some melting later..I don't know if I would call it hosting but daughter and family usually come over for lunch time Christmas day for a few hours. The big deal is boxing day/ when every one shows up and we add a number to our family I thought of going shopping today but changed my mind and will goon Tues when the kids are still in school and maybe it maybe a little quieter. It really gets to me when the kids are using the store as a playground and screeching at the top of their voices;Everything seems to be fine here--I tire quickly still but no reall pain and I am still getting around , only now I think the snail is winning Have a good day

Hello Ed, once again we are at each other's gate. I love that. The ants were little ones. Hopefully I have solved it with nasty sprays. I think that I know the alphabet that you purchased. A couple of years ago  my grandaughter, Arja had them here for her children. I still sometimes find them attached to things outside. lthough it is still daylight I am looking forward to bed and hopefully finish my book. I am enjoying the book. Alexander McCall Smith is an amusing author. Mungo is inside and now I just hve to get Mindy in. Enjoy your day.

Hello ED, connection with the alphabet certainly helps. Are they in capital letters? Much prefered for the little ones. Spelling is tricky as the letter A can be sounded 'Ay' or 'ah'. B can be 'Bee or bu.' and so on.  And have a look in a dictionary re the spelling of 'H'. Facinating. It all depends on if you went to a Catholic school or protestant school. Back to cleaning. Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, Frank passed the inspection. The only thing he has to do is get a dishwasher for the area that he cooks in. Went for my coffee this morning nd the shop was closed due to an electrical problem. So I drove into Rye to get a few groceries and purchased a coffee there. I hope that he is open tomorrow as I really want to buy my fruit and veggies there. Then I went into the room that Shannon and family will occupy to vaccuum. I discovered lots of ants in there. Just what I needed. So now I have a spray going and the room is closed off. I guess that I will have to vaccuum again when I can enter the room. I will also spray around the outside where I think that the ants are coming in. Now to work on my Library putting away my art materials and a general tidy up in there. Working my way to the front of the house. Enjoy your new day.

Morning splash===field mouse ty It is overcast and -7 this morning but I should be fine as I will be in the kitchen shortly and working over the stove and oven at least for the morning.Holy smoke--did she have all thos cakes left over--its good that you found good homes for them all though. Got the laundry all done and cleared away until after Christmas I hope. There was several women down in the laundry room yesterday so had a nice morning visit.Today will be nuts and bolts(finally found my missing ingredients hiding in the closet behind the pop) and willl make the hot dog and cheese bits and then maybe get to some more parcel construction . Even though I am not doing the goodie boxes still have then all to deal with. As long as I am able I will continue with them all  and I have a couple of new ones to add to the list--Jess's boyfriend will be here for boxing day and her best girl friend would rathe come to our family gathering beside she is the one who cuts my hair for free. Off to get a start at my list--don't know if there is any golf on but I think there will be some curling. Have a good day
