How is everyone doing with their shopping? I'm pretty much done with shopping and baking which frees me up to have coffee and lunch with friends and family. Busyness used to limit my social part of life and boy, am I making up for that now.
It was nice to have milder temperatures but not the icy roads. And it sure was foggy for a few days; I'm waiting for the sunny wintry days even if it does get colder. Many people have booked trips for the south; some have already left for Arizona for the three coldest months. I read an article concerning taxation which these residents will face from the American government, so if you are heading south for an extended stay, be sure to know changes are continually occurring or you may receive an unwanted tax bill from the good old U. S of A.

Anniversary wishes

Happy anniversary wishes go out to Mike and Anna Wolfe. They celebrated 21 years of marriage on Dec. 6. May you enjoy many more years of togetherness.

Birthday wishes

Happy birthday wishes go out to Carol Schroeder who celebrated on Sunday, Dec. 14 and to Loretta Smith who will have her special day on Dec. 22. Anna Wolfe, Tina Wolfe, Carol Schroeder and Loretta Smith enjoyed celebrating these birthdays by having lunch at Pizza Haven and dessert at Carols' house on Monday, Dec. 15.
Happy wishes go out to anyone else who celebrates in December including Judith Schellenberg of Mitchell.

Concerts

Everyone is busy going to concerts; some families have children in three different schools and must make sure the calendar is front and center where the family can see which days and times are booked. Add to that the church programs and some attend at least four concerts.
Dave and I have one more to attend an that is the MCI Christmas concert. It will be happening on Dec. 18 & 19 at Buhler Hall in Gretna. If you are planning to attend, a note of advice; be early. The hall fills up very quickly. The concert runs from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m.

I didn't have a very good week last week so I won't bore anyone with that. It will be better when the sun shines. Sun always takes a way the aches and pains. Friends take away the blues. Life is good.

That's it for this week. Take care on the roads, enjoy the gatherings and have a great Christmas.
