Wow, December is here!!!!

I can't believe it is December 7th already. If my brother were to read this..............Happy Birthday Keith.

This past Friday was the Craft Sale at Sleepy Valley (were our RV still is) so I had a table. I guess with the economy the way it is, people just don't seem to be buying. Last year at the December Craft Sale I made about $30 more then I did this year. I did have two different ladies ask me if I could make them something different, so will be working on that. This next Saturday, I will be having a table at Bensten Grove Resort where we are now living. Hope I do a little better here.

We finally got our deck cleaned off. It had stacked on it things we did not want. The two recliners went to our friends, Dick and Darlene. They came by last night and picked them up. They were glad to get them, as they just bought a place to and are going to put them in their Texas room (sun porch). The rest of the stuff was in sacks and stuff we took out of this place and didn't sell at the yard sales at Sleepy Valley. We donated that to the Bentsen Grove group and it will be used to give to needy families here in the valley. It is so good to set the deck up the way we want and be able to use it now...............we need visitors now. LOL

I finally got around to giving Keota a hair cut, he hadn't had one since before we left Iowa. I must say he looks pretty good, we have had to put his sweater on him a few times when I got down into the 50's here.

Last Monday, I went to the computer club here at the park and boy what a large group. It was pretty basic stuff for me, but I am sure I will get something out of it, even if it is to help someone else. I also made it to the Bentsen Grove Auxiliary to help with making of quilts for the needy. I was surprised when I arrived and told to pick a family then go and pick out coats that would fit kids. This was all new to me.................so wasn't sure what it was all about. They then told me I would be buying each child a complete clothing outfit for Christmas. I said Wooooo........I can't afford to buy outfits for four kids. No...........the club pays for it, they all go shopping together to pick it out, then each member takes their stuff home and wraps it up for each kid and everyone goes the week before Christmas and meets the family and delivers their gifts.

Roger went to the Rock Club here in park on Tuesday. He seemed to like that, they have their own saws and polishers here and make all kinds of things. On Friday's they go to a ranch and hunt for rocks. Sounds great.

That's about all the news.............stay warm........drive safe........and................Happy Trails
