Last minute dash

It's finally chilly out this morning. It's around 10am and it's still 60F outside ^_^ Maybe, just maybe, it'll be cold for Christmas this year.

Mom and I got home like 15 minutes ago from food shopping for the holiday. Most of the stuff we bought was for cookies and cakes and fudge and Christmas dinner and such. We're going to have a small turkey and a small ham this year. Some years, we do a buffet of various things. A little of this and little of that and a LOT of those! ^_^ lol ^_^ But this year, we're going to do a simple sit down dinner.

Before we headed for Walmart this morning, mom treated me to a restaurant breakfast instead of the regular Burger King one. It's one of our local restaurants and it was done really nice for Christmas. The interior is wood with beams and such. So all the holiday garland and lights and ribbons and such really fit in and gave it a warmth. Even the ten foot Christmas tree was very nice ^_^ You just can't get the same feeling in Denny's or Perkins or iHop. They seem to be so sterile even with the holiday decorations. Just missing something.

Anyway, once Sunday Morning (CBS TV) is over, mom and I are going to go outside and do some final yard work for the rest of the season. While we don't have things dying off and going dormant, they do sloooow down their growing. So we can trim them back and mow the lawn and not have to do it again for a few months. Thus, the last minute dash for yard work and food ^_^
