Tuesday Talk

The house is starting to look as bare as a birds be-hind! I took all of the fall and Thanksgiving stuff down tonight and put it on the kitchen table. Hubby is taking a load down to the basement each time he goes down to his office to spare me so many trips! I must say it does look all nice and neat though. Won't last long as tomorrow I plan to start hauling out the Christmas stuff. Our yard man worked all day in the drizzle putting up the lights on the front of the house, the star on the roof and the lights on the tree on the lawn and the wreaths on the garage. Tomorrow he will replace some of the lights that are out and put the garland on the porch railings. To think I used to do all of that myself but of late years it seems so nice to have a helping hand.

I was at church most of the day with the decorating committee doing the decorating there. We have a very old church, over 100 years old, and it is really fun to decorate for the different holidays. The stained glass windows are just gorgeous especially when the sun is setting and the last rays are coming right in through them. Wish I had my camera with me today to get some pictures, maybe I will remember when I go back down the end of the week to put the wreaths up outside.

After we finished we went to Tim Horton's for lunch. They have the best broccoli soup, it is to die for. I think I have had it three times in the last couple of weeks! We were walking towards the door and a man came out and said to us "are you ladies going in for lunch?" We said "yes" of course. He said that he was the inspector and had just closed the place down! We looked at him and he didn't have any kind of official looking jacket on and then he started to laugh. He wasn't any more of an inspector then I am Santa! He was just being funny I guess but it was kind of weird. We went in and the manager overheard us talking about it and wasn't very happy about it. He had no idea who the guy was. I guess it takes all kinds.

Well we found out what is living in our barn and it is the little black kitten. I finally got a looksy the other day and sure enough there he was eating the food I had set out. I really need to set the live trap and catch him/her and take him/her to the vet to be fixed and then I guess he can just live in the barn and hopefully we will eventually tame him. I just don't want any kittens born if it is a she as there are way too many unwanted cats around and I don't want to add to the problem. He's a pretty little thing but VERY skittish, you can't get anywhere near him. I just wonder where he came from or if someone just dumped him here. Sad.

DIL's Mom brought me a hostess gift on Thanksgiving day. It is the cutest wall hanging! She makes the nicest things and is the one that got me into quilting quite a number of years back. Isn't he cute?!!

I got the wall hanging put up that I made last spring. I'm working on another one but it's going slow, may have to be for next Christmas! I have been working on the fleece pajama pants that my grands like so well. They work up really fast, faster if I would get myself down in my sewing room!

Well I must go to the dentist for a cleaning and then a few more Christmas things to pick up. The sun is shining and it's in the 40's so a very mild day. Hope you all are having a good week!
