it's getting closer . . .

i must have food on the brain.  the chili is simmering on the stove.  the cubes of beef are waiting in the fridge along side the carrots until tomorrow when the temps go down and the stew comes up.  despite temps almost in the 80's summer is definitely over and everyone's appetites are back.

it's time to think about christmas.  still no real tree.  i just don't have it in me, but we have a funky little glitter tree to brighten up the living room. it needs some lights but otherwise, it's good to go.  i've started my shopping list but have yet to make a dent.  progress comes in small steps.

and of course we have an extra stocking this year even though she will spend the holidays with her parents.  christmas eve is a tradition so she can open hers then.

all and all, the season is coming up.  deck the hall ya'll.  let the fun begin.
