Gentle Readers and Dear Friends what a busy weekend we had. This time of year it is so hard to step back and reflect on the "Reason for the Season." Getting caught up in the countdown - ... 19 days BTW.... - so many specials to see, so many sales to try and get to, the crowds, the lights, the everything. I am not immune to them, I do enjoy many aspects of the whirlwind that our Christmas has become. We dad make it to the "Mall" and finished up that kind of shopping. I still need to run to some Neighborhood shops to pick up a few things. I am planning on doing that after work, when I can actually find some street parking.
Weekend street parking here in the city can just bite sometimes - no, actually all the time, but this time of year it gets even worse!! (Isn't this a great snap!!)

I spent a majority of weekend working on little gifts - the plan is to get these out this week. I also did quite a bit of "secret " stitching, and after they arrive at new destinations I'll get snaps posted for you to see. I have actually gotten everything done down to a single piece that needs a little more work and then some finishing - then I can get back to "ABC Noel" - remember that?? :)
I whipped up a tasty Pumpkin Roll yesterday I will post about that tomorrow.
That's about it for today sports fans - short and sweet.
Take care,

Every year, I promise myself that "next" year won't be such a "whirlwind" - but it always turns out that way. I've begun to think that "whirlwind" is just part of the fun. :)
