Been watching the rest of the nation getting hammered by the weather. Glad to be south of it all, just rain here. Cleared up today in time for the carolers that came by Amy & Derek's tonight. Wish I'd thought to take some photos of the 60 or so neighbors (including Molly's favorite baby sitter) in the group. We'd spent the last two days baking cookies to pass out, in fact the last batch was still in the oven when they came by. The whole thing reminded us of the Romberg family that lives across the street from us in Soldotna. Their kids could always look forward to their mom dragging them out for caroling and then passing out a plate of home made Christmas goodies.
The Christmas season is in full swing around here, that means serious shopping going on and major crowds at the big stores. Don't know how it is in the rest of the country, but it looks like a big retail season here. We still have lots to acquire before we are ready for the road, so we plan to do our part. Oh Joy, I feel a rant coming on! But I'll spare y'all for now; after all, tis the season.
Stay safe out there.
