Our little tree

35 degrees this morning, windy, some fog and looked like it would rain

any moment.  Left a couple of minutes after 7 and

 headed out to the main road again and toward town.

Walked up to the cemetery at the top of the hill and then

down to the Drane house.  A couple of people were there setting

up the cookies for the sale.

I stopped in and asked if they needed any help setting up the cookies.

They said yes, please, and thank you. 

So I stayed and helped.

So many delicious looking and smelling cookies.  Very hard not to eat

any especially being hungry and not having had breakfast yet.

Cookies go on sale at 9 and people where already there at 8:30

waiting.  We were still setting up so they just had to wait.

I stayed 45 minutes and then walked back home.

 The rain held off until I was back home in the house.

With the warm weather and the rain all our snow is gone.

I wish the rain was snow.  

Rain is just dreary, snow is bright, fun and pretty.

It will just be Ken and I for Christmas so we didn't bother with a

tree this year, just this little one with lights.

We like it and it is bright and cheerful there in the corner on the table.

We put lights up around the mantel too.

Outside on the front porch we put a string of blue lights out.

Stayed home again today.
Got some reading done and worked on knitting slippers for
my basket of slippers.  I have 2 pair done so far.

It's been a good day.
