December already, Where did the time go?

Wow, here it is the eve of December first and I am finally getting back to posting on my blog. We are still working on our home, not too awful much to go yet, (we will still be sorta roughin it , as this is not your conventional built home, but we love it here). We had hoped to have some help with a few things while some of the family was here during deer hunting, but hunting was so good this year that we spent most of the time in the woods. Like they say "all work and no play makes a dull boy" something like that anyhow.

Thanksgiving, well now thats quite the story in itself. My one daughter, (I have three) and her family were planning to come here for dinner and stay thru the weekend, ( I was really looking forward to that). On Wednesday as they were getting ready to leave home, my grandson took the family vehicle to have it gassed up for the trip, well unfortunately he was involved in an accident, ( he wasn't hurt too bad, thanks to the airbags) anyhow the van was totaled, so they had no transportation to get here. With all that I really didn't feel like making a big dinner anyhow so we just cancelled. MDH and I then needed to finish processing the 3 deer the hunting party had gotten opening weekend, yes one was mine, my grandson and step grandson got the other two. The processing was quite a job, but now we have meat for three families in the freezer.

There is another hunting season in about a week, I'm hoping some of the family will be able to come back for that hunt as well, hopefully it won't be too cold or I may not go out myself. I'm kind of a warm weather person, I love the snow, for a little while, but boy oh boy give me that sunshine and sandy beaches any day.

This year I'm planning on doing some decorating for the holidays, and some baking, and all the traditional things, lets see how well that pans out. Last year I spent almost four months in the hospital, although I did get out for the day on Christmas, so I didn't get a chance to do any prep for the holidays at all, so I think I should do it up big this year, I have plenty of things to decorate with.
