At church this morning, the sermon was given by our youth pastor Brent. After church, I picked up an Italian sub for my lunch. I plan to stay home and relax for the rest of the day.

Good morning, Jeanette! Good morning, Mel! It's a sunny 49 at 11:30; the forecast calls for a high of 65 this afternoon. I hope we reach that! That's a lot of rain, Mel. We have heavy rain in the forecast for the end of the week. I hope most of it misses us! We had enough this week. That T-Rex cracks me up. We're about to fry up a piece of steak for brunch, with eggs & some good Dave's bread with lots of seeds in it. There's an NCIS episode on that I've never seen before. It's season 15 episode 22. Abby is lying unconscious in a hospital bed & Gibbs 'n crew have just concluded this was no accident that she took a bullet - it was a hit on Abby. I won't be watching it closely, but I'll keep up with it enough to know if this is the episode where they wrote her out of the cast. I missed several seasons post-2011 or 2012; not sure exactly where I ended up not watching much TV because I had too many other things going on. Hope everyone has a good Sunday, regardless of the weather in your locale.

At 2 PM, it is as dark as night here, and the rain is coming down steadily. At least our low temp for tonight is only predicted to be 45, so we shouldn't have any problems with all of this water turning to ice in the morning.

That's a good one, Mel! Yes - I can relate to that from both directions too. I'm so sleepy tonight ... think I'll head to bed now. I always intend to go to bed early then 6 things catch my eye & next thing I know, it's after midnight. Gonna make myself avoid that tonight. See y'all tomorrow. btw: we reached a high temperature of 71 this afternoon. I went out back & ran around the yard with the dogs a couple of times this afternoon, and it was very pleasant out there. The dogs weren't inside much at all this afternoon, until the sun began to to drop out of sight. It was was pitch black before 6 p.m. - not even a glimmer of daylight left.

Good morning! It is 49 degrees here this morning, but the temperature is forecast to drop drastically as the day goes on. The rain seems to have finally stopped around 7 this morning. I didn't sleep too well last night, lots of very strange and disturbing dreams. I need to make a trip to the pharmacy this morning to refill my cholesterol RX. When I get home from that, I might try to take a brief nap to help to make up for last night. I can hardly believe that it is only one week to Christmas and only 2 weeks till New Year.

My parents never decorated much for Christmas when I was a kid, but this meme would definitely fit some of my friends' folks:

Good morning, Jeanette! Good morning, Mel! It's 53, as we're coming up on 11 a.m. Only forecast to reach 55, so I'm enjoying the sun from afar while taking an extra sweater to wear at the office. My parents helped me decorate the tree each year until I was old enough to do it myself. Dad & I would trek around to 2 or 3 tree lots & pick one. When we got home, he'd get it set up on a stand that we could put water in. The stand set on an overturned washtub in the corner of the living room by the front window. We had the big, old style lights - but not the ones that bubbled. My grandmother had some of those. I had to laugh at your lights display meme, Mel - I'll go back & see if I can pull off the Halloween & Christmas displays at one particular house and post small versions here. Each left me with my jaw dropped - they were so beyond the pale. Hope you have a good nap, Mel. I had really weird dreams last too - remember snippets of 2. Hope everyone has a good day!

I never did get around to taking that nap. I kept finding "one more thing" that needed my attention first. I don't want to nap at this late point in the day, or I may not sleep well tonight. I'm going to have some warmed up roast beef in a sandwich for my supper and then try to find something worth watching on TV for a few hours, and then maybe I'll go to bed just a little bit earlier than usual this evening.

Here you go ... Our friend's front yard display, 2023. I admire his stick-to-itiveness to put up this whole display, and then to take it down & store it away till the next year. I have not eee-ven asked his wife what their electric bill looks like at the end of the season. And this is a friend's photo with her dogs. She took this herself, using a pocketful of treats and some patience. She did admit to yelling at the dogs before she got the shot, but once she did, that's when they settled down & stayed put for a few seconds. I asked Edward if he thought we had any chance to getting our dogs to "Sit!" and "Stay!" long enough to get a staged photo of them? His answer: "Bwahahahahahahahaha!!" He's probably right. Okay, I'm heading for bed. I'm really sleepy, and I want to go to work a little early tomorrow so hopefully I can get started on those leases that need signed. We're trying to get everyone straight for 2024. See y'all tomorrow ~ Hope everyone sleeps well tonight.
