"Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude." —Ralph Marston

It's that time of year!
I have not done all the baking I wanted to!
I have decided to go see the kids in the spring, so am saving it for then.
They'll get a really big care package!
I have made some Christmas cards!
I'll show them to you so you can get on with your day!

 I pilfered a Santa image off the internet(Kalen said the internet police will be knocking on my door), because that's what Bryson wanted on his Christmas card!

He loves excavators, so I messaged my friend up in Manning, whose dad does amazing woodwork!

An e-transfer later, it was delivered to Vanessa's work!

Apparently it was a hit with the 'BIG' boys at her work!

Here's the tag I made to go on it.

 Sorry about the hot pink background, but my signs for next summers Family Reunion are done!

 This next card, I made for Kalen.

Then loved them so much I made a bunch of them for my Tai Chi people, and am making Bryson's Valentine card similar!

 Mom's card came out of the box, it's probably been posted a year or two ago!

I forgot to take a picture of Vanessa's, as I was hurrying to get it in the mail.

And it was awesome!

She said she'd take a pic & send it!

This is Bryson & I watching the Grinch last time we Face timed!

This picture is right up there with the story telling picture, and the ride I got on his truck in this post!

He's so proud!

The angle I was at I could only see pixels, but did recognize Cindy Lou Who!

Still picking up branches in the yard from Windsday! 

I found this in the flower bed!

Made me smile!

I had another piece of stitchery done!
The kids' initials, my friend Helen made, 2 lifetimes ago, when I sent her a picture!

 

I am trying to figure out where to hang it!

It WILL go up somewhere!
 

It will be a quiet Christmas.

We might even just go out!

My brother & his son will be here on the 26th, I'll cook then!

That's all I got.

If I don't get back on here before Christmas, please have a great one!

With too much food, laughter, family & friends!

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Great things never come from comfort zones.

Good evening!
I have had a week!
No cards to show today!
My Instagram this morning went something like this! 

On WINDSDAY I came home to this!

 Knocked the power out, front & back, tore the meter off the pole!

Tore my wires off that come into the house!

It was rotten!

 

Fortis guy got stuck up there in his bucket. Told me not to worry, he had a rope! Haha

Electrician got him down using the controls on the truck.

 

Clean up committee came yesterday!

A friend of Kalen's brought friends.

 

 Came back today to finish!

All the wood is gone.

They figure it was a cord & a half.

Told me to burn the stump where it is.

I will think about it, because where it is, is pretty close to the house!

Now I'm trying to get a hold of a tree removal service, because those trees in the front yard, are coming down, before they come down!

The company everyone recommends is called The Widowmaker!

How do you know when your trees are rotten!?

There's a few piles of branches & the tipped over stump left.

Only 2 of the crew could stay, so I gave them hot chocolate & goodies I picked up at the bakery yesterday!

I was very lucky, there was a lot it could have hit, like the house!

 Was pretty scary!

I'm grateful for the help and to have power!

Hope you are well!

Talk to ya later!
