It's Almost Over

The holiday season that is.  I enjoyed it but now I'm ready to move on.  I've really enjoyed this tree, we bought quite a few new ornaments to put on it.  I wish we could have put a bunch of gifts under it.  We did get a few things for Bill's parents and my mother and brother so it wasn't completely bare.

I've been reading a lot.  Finished a book about the Comanches and one about the dust bowl.  My brother is reading the Comanche one and I think he will enjoy the one about the dust bowl too.  My parents and grandparents lived through the dust bowl and I think that's why it was of interest to me.  I remember stories that they used to tell about what life was like.  The drought was bad enough but the Great Depression was going on at the same time.  It was a rough time.

I started working on a crochet afghan.  I think (maybe) if I start now I can get some things made that would make good gifts for next Christmas.  I don't know how long this will last, I might burn out by Spring.  I have good intentions anyway.

We have the next two days off.  I think tomorrow we might go up to Oklahoma City.  We haven't been there in a long time and the weather is supposed to be really good.  By Friday it will turn cold.  That would be a good day to take the decorations down.  Saturday morning we will have to work for a while cleaning up after a New Year's party that a group is having at the church.  I don't really want to go to the party.  I never cared much for New Year's parties.

Photo of the day, this was taken in a town called Apache.  I really liked the unusual buildings.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
