So starts the week

God morning all! Finally I decided to throw off the covers and climb out to face the world. In my bed I could use the "laptop" while burrowing under the comforter but here at this desk, the sun shines on my face and warms me. My feet are cold, because they are bare, but my face feels nice. The cupcake is still on my desk, staring at me and smelly entirely too delicious but it can just wait for me until I get home later on. The first order of business today is Bible study and then lunch with the ladies afterward.

My sister-in-law, Barb, told me last night that Justin's and my exchange names for CHRISTmas should be arriving any day now so I have another reason to hit the mailbox other than at the beginning of the month when my check is expected. Once a week or longer sometimes, I stop at the box to torment myself with yet more paper to cover to my desk. Garbage in, garbage out! Much of it, anyway. Soon the lobby trash receptacle will be re-installed near the mailboxes and the sorting of the junk mail can take place well before bringing it all up with me. But I will watch to see whose names we get so my brain can start working on that. If I can take care of it when up in WI for ThanksLiving, I will. Barb's parents, the Petska's, did the name draw for Justin and me, so only they know who we have, the big secret!

Here is Justin and me with Harvey and Clara in their kitchen last CHRISTmas. We look a bit blurry because the photographer was not familiar with my camera, it was sort of heavy for him to support. I am in my Jaguar outfit and Justin in his Florida Gator jacket.(When I looked at this picture, I looked a bit like Barb---had to do a double-take! I have my red driving glasses on which makes me look like her, too, I guess!)

Time to leave for Bible study so must dress my feet in the appropriate footwear. By the end of the week the temps will be back up to the 80's but right now, it is snowshoe weather---44 above zero when I woke up! Yikes!
