I woke up this morning to a beautiful sunrise. I love it when the sky is pink in the morning. It was cold and crisp, but guess what.....not raining. Yeah! I don't think folks who are unfamiliar with the Pacific Northwest really know how much it does rain here. I really wanted to be out of here for the winter for a few months and go get some sun. I mean real sun. Warm sun. A little heat. A friend of mine just sent me an email from Yuma, AZ and she said she was running around in tank tops and shorts. Mind you she is 65 years old, but is in really great shape. I don't do shorts anymore or tank tops, but just the thought of it sounded so good. I had to build a little fire in the little wood stove this morning. A hot drink, a wood fire, a comfy blanket....it was nice but a little natural heat where you could walk outside would have been nice.

I bought this wreath the other day. It was kind of plain. I got it for $9.98 and then bought the red ribbons to embellish it a bit. I think it turned out kind of nice. This will be the extent of my holiday decorations. There is not room for a tree and I don't do gifts. Haven't done gifts for a really long time. Don't bake goodies, don't do much. However, there is a little concert here on the peninsula that is kind of cool. It is called a "Tuba Christmas". There are 4 guys who put on a nice little program with several types of tubas. It is really really good. I went last year and it was good enough to make me decide I wanted to do it again this year. I also have some friends that are singing out at the Oysterville church on the 12th that will be kind of fun to go to. I think on Monday I will get busy and send out the cards. I always want to wait a bit, but then if I wait to long I end up not doing it. Too funny. Our tap dance group is having our holiday luncheon on Wednesday the 9th. We always have a good time when we gather. Enjoy whatever your holiday preparations are.
