I have ask myself that question a lot this past week.  I’m so not ready, I usually have quite a bit of Christmas shopping done by this time and I only have a few gifts.    My daughter wants a Nintendo DS so that will limit the amount of gifts she gets for her birthday and Christmas.   I’ve been trying to explain about money and how this year things will be a little different and she seems ok with it, understanding that things are expensive and we don’t have the money.    She is so excited that my brother and his family and my Mom will be here for Christmas I think that a cut back on gifts will be ok.

I will be cooking Thanksgiving and Chrismas dinner.   Love the leftovers….LOL!!   Already starting to plan my menus.   That way I can pick up things along the way when I go to the store.

Soon the leaves will all be off the trees and that makes me sad, they are so beautiful.   And in no way am I ready for any kind of snow!!!  YUCK!!!

New pic of me and my angel.   She’s a bit under the weather but still a sweetie.
