Winter Notes- Friday, December First. Sunshine and nearly 50 degrees outside. Rain coming.

 A visit to the ATTIC to find this sort of thing....Wooden Smokers.  And the dozen or so Nutcracker Soldiers.  Son says he isn't interested in Holiday Decorating, a Tree or Gifts. Just like his Dad.  Must be genetic. so..no need for me to go hunting.

My (Our) neighbor across the street... drove over (yes!)...to deliver two kits for potting and growing a Christmas Amaryllis bulb. One for me and one for my son.  We just potted them up after much searching in the Garage for clay pots. The bulbs came with plastic pots.  Where are all the clay pots????

Son has taken a few more items from his father's closet.....he's gotten a taste of the COLD here in Maine. And the LL Bean Thermal Shirts are looking pretty good.  No one wants Dad's pants so they are on their way to Goodwill.  I have half his closet empty.  The Goodwill box is FULL.  So I won't be cleaning out anything until after the box gets emptied.

Worked on my desk top calendar art.  Looking good.  Festive.  Pretty.

Son is cleaning out something in the kitchen.  Walking over to ask...do you need this? sigh. How do we really know what we need and what we don't need?????    Until we find it missing.

The Super Nice Fancy Rice Cooker made some really excellent rice......I was impressed. I am thinking I will use my (new) Miniature Air Fryer to make something today...tater tots? French fries?  Or I could finally make myself Poached Eggs on Toast.

I picked up the book I started reading---and abandoned days or weeks ago--and I read for awhile before bed....... I have TEN books on the Library Book Shelf....unread.   I am falling behind. and..to be perfectly truthful......Hallmark is BORING.  I think I outgrew most of the movies in the past 12 months..

Son keeps arriving to show me something he has found and I yes or no it.   The Goodwill box is full. We are measuring for one of the tables upstairs to become my new desk with a new larger Apple Desktop- the one he used when he was working.  In California.  He thinks the one I am using is an Antique. Like me. I think it's from 2004.....or there about.  Nearly 20 years...... of super service...this old Apple.  With all it's stickers like "if there were dreams to sell. What would you buy?"   Tell me in the comments.
