12/13/2025 Holding On Here In Dreams Of There...

I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.

The deadline of getting my monster of a mess house straighten and fully organized by Christmas whooshed on by so fast it made my head spin like a tequila hangover.

I decide to save my sanity and concentrate on what I could do and thought of those dear loved ones of mine for Christmas.

Most important Right?

So my house never got the full attention, not anything really, dishes & laundry just a small effort to buy Christmas gifts on-line... nothing else... not a thing, zip of any decorations went up and absolutely nothing else got done.

However, the bright side is I have eliminated all the take down tasks of the decorated tree, never pulled it out of the closet.

So I am ahead of the game!

I may have stumbled on to something!!!

Anyway, I have people giving prayers and kind words but my mind is spinning with: How much pain our families has endured over the years. The loss of people closed to us.

I was delighted that I was able help my daughter and granddaughter move to Florida.

It was a huge task throwing caution to the wind.

It just a woman, a teen and couple of old geezers to see it through. The boxes were packed and my 16' cargo trailer was the mule.

I help as much & where I could. I just wanted to be there for my girls. It would be a transition for them.

My plan was to make lemonade out of lemons and take advantage of the opportunity given to us.

This Winter's Hiatus will be to go see my girls & son inlaw in Florida where I left them three years ago.

That year was not as originally planned but life knows how to throw curve balls.

Anyway... For Now, Just Tooting Along Here In My Paradise Cove waiting on the weather & calendar to leave this cold Midwest.
