Points of Light

-
I love Christmas lights.  Always have.  When I was growing up, they were relatively large bulbs, and they got hot as they burned.  More than one of my fingers has sizzled when putting a gift under the tree.

There was a family up the street from us who strung green lights along their roof every Christmas.  I thought it was the coolest.  One year, Daddy gave in to my asking and strung some along the front gutter.  Ours were multi-colored, so not as sweet as the Lewises', but we did it.

My next Greed List item is having someone come in and hang string lights all over the house as decoration.  Someone who is more clever and artistic than me.

I love that idea, and when they are done at your house please send them north to me, I always wanted fairy lights in the bedroom under the sheers!

When said light-string person is done at your house, send them to mine, 'kay? We need all the lights we can get during this darkest time of the year. Aside about tiny lights: we were in the Mall of America last week. In every single atrium -- and there are dozens -- multiple 40-foot strings of fairy lights were dangling from on high. It was magical! And no, we did not buy a thing; we were there for Younger Son and I to visit the Apple store so I could pick up and handle the Macbook Airs and iPhones that are newer than mine. Happily, I decided that there was no particular need for a newer Air, and that an iPhone XR is probably what I should get next year.

And It Has Been Eaten

I made some banana bread last night.  Well banana/ blueberry bread, as that's the baby food I had.  Also, shout out to my fellow banana baby food lovers.  (You know who you are!)  I went to bed before it was finished baking, so there was a nice morning "surprise" today. Just dropping in to brag on myself.

It's Beginning to Look

 Y'all, I have so many boxes around this house.  Boxes for the Christmas things to take to Hannah's.  Boxes for shipping things.  Boxes to put gifts for Hannah and Briton in.  Boxes containing stuff I've ordered.  A box with the wrapping paper and ribbons.  You'd think I was moving --- or that I'm a hoarder. It's been a brutal headache day.  The first one in a day or two, actually.  It hasn't been conducive to making much progress on anything, but I've moved a wee bit on my heart tree cross-stitch, and a scarf I cast on a couple of days ago.  I got a few Christmas cards out before having to stop, because writing involves your eyes, which are in your head. . . Oh, and
