This should be a post about a cat but this is just a post about what I've been up to with a picture of our cat Specks (or should I say our cat "S"?!) ;o) yanking something from under L's door and this is a picture to use when there's no other picture to use!With most of the furniture out of the family room for Thanksgiving, we decided to have our wood floors refinished. This required leaving the furniture out of the family room AND taking anything else off the floor. The floor was done on Thursday but we had to be out all day Thursday and until later on Friday because of the caustic smell. We stayed at my mother's--glad we had some place handy to go. Saturday we set about trying to restore order. Things are still not quite back together. Unfortunately, it is infinitely easier to undo and dismantle things than to restore things to their rightful places. But the floor does look good! Now we'll just go ahead and neglect it for another few years! :o)
I've had some good shopping days where I've really enjoyed myself but not bought anything to speak of for Christmas. I did find something for B to give me (and I bought it!). :o) I also found something for Tyler. Bryan found something he wanted and bought it. That is the extent of my Christmas preparation. My trees aren't even set up because of the refinishing of the floors and Thanksgiving (too much moving of furniture to have trees in the way).
Next on my list of things to do is to get ready for the personal progress evening at my house on Tuesday. Do you have any suggestions for snacks? We've (1) dipped chocolate, (2) had white chocolate popcorn, (3) eaten a cheese ball, crackers and veggies, (4) had ice cream sandwiches, (5) made sandwiches for lunch and had chips on the side, (6) had a breakfast, and two other evenings (7 & 8) with food (and I can't recall the food--maybe donuts or cookies?? Maybe melon and grapes??). I have more things to do regarding Young Women and somewhere in there I will do something about (1) decorating the inside of the house for Christmas and (2) finding a few more presents.
This morning my mother looked nice and had good color to her face. I attended the church meeting with her at her building. She is still declining. She is very confused and often sleeps. As of a week ago Friday, she weighed eighty pounds (and on an accurate scale finally). The hospice nurse said the next step in her decline that he is watching for is when she just stops eating.
Well, I'm off to watch the Christmas Broadcast from Salt Lake City.

I think all those snacks you've had sounds great, maybe start the list again! :)
How about some fruit kabobs on skewers, fruit pizza, chips and salsa or my most favorite is Rice Krispy treats (so dangerous to me!)
I know it's not very healthy but in keeping with the chocolate theme, how about brownies and ice cream with chocolate syrup and nuts or dipping segmented Clemantines half way in chocolate. Or something easy like chips and sandwiches? Everyone just loves food, so I'm sure whatever you serve will be delicious and appreciated. Last thought, chocolate fondue...yum!
Your kids almost delighted in telling me that the furniture was moved into the piano room so they were not able to practice piano this week. For Shame!!! Love your kids and so happy I get to teach them.
