This is what will keep me going through winter--spring is coming. Much to my chagrin I did not go camping after I adopted Chloe because I was worried about how she would do. She was not as good a camper as Molly was. Nature absolutely soothes my soul. I stopped going hiking also because Chloe and I often ran into dogs off-leash and Chloe is not good with other dogs. I will need to start making a point to go hiking without her, because getting out in nature-any time of the year-soothes my soul. Just looking at old pictures from camping brings back the good feelings.
Christmas is coming. My radio station has already started playing Christmas songs. Yes, I will call them Christmas songs even though the station calls them Holiday songs, which is ridiculous because we all know they are Christmas songs. What is this world coming to if we cannot politically correct wish someone a Merry Christmas? Evil is prevailing.
Anyway, I am going to decorate for Christmas this week. The Christmas season is too short, so why not start early? I feel very sad and regretful that I did not not start planning for my gift giving this summer. I want to make my gifts like the olden days, but I am running out of time. One of my favorite things to make is socks. One pair of socks takes me 2-4 weeks to complete. Do you know how many pairs of socks I would like to knit? Many. Maybe I will submit coupons in the Christmas cards for an I.O.U.
This is the last year our department will be together for the Holiday season. People usually exchange gifts. One year I made cookies for my "gift." Last year I did not do anything. Money was too tight. This year I think I will make something for everyone. I don't want to say what because I may make several of these items and give them to many different people. People who read my blog. The cost for materials is about $1 for each item. Affordable. I am told it takes about 5 hours to make one item. A friend is teaching me how to make them today.
