An old card I had finished that with, ... now if I could only find my pencil. Well, don't need a pencil but I've have had a few thoughts and even composed a couple of posts but never got around to typing them. So here's a few of the things I've been telling you, in my mind.
Talia posted a lovely picture of herself and a couple of friends at ONU in front of a Christmas tree. Nice picture, but what stood out to me was the sweater she was wearing. It is one I gave her a about a year ago and is the one I've been dragging around since about her age. I don't think she realizes how old it is - it was Auntie Nell's. Still looks good - even better on her than me - and has some good wool to keep her warm in that much colder climate.
Went into Costco Carlsbad several months ago - before Halloween - and Christmas was in full force there with cards & wrapping and decorations & toys. There were end caps and several rows dedicated to it. It was one of the few times I've gone somewhere that instantly made me miss you. I'm sure you would have gone down each row to see what they had. I didn't make time for it - maybe next time.
I have cut the cord with cable and am very surprised to find I like the shows streamed. I'm using Hulu. I'm not sure you would like it - I cannot fast forward through commercials (ha ha!); however, most commercial breaks are one or two short commercials so it is not too bad. I keep flinching, though, at commercial time to look for the remote to fast forward through the commercials. Evening news was a bit of a problem since I found that I cannot get reception without an outdoor antenna, but I found I could stream it on the computer. And, then I got Google Chromecast and can transfer it to the TV. Works that way for some of your favorite CBS shows (e.g., NCIS) too as they are not found on Hulu. I'm hoping to save a bit of money- keeping house is expensive and the debt is growing. Hopefully, not for long.
Just me - missing you.
