Good Evening Everyone!

Today was another repeat of yesterday. Only difference was for my breaks from crafting I got several odd jobs done around the house. Now my windows and doors are clean. Also the windows finally got the rest of there decorations. Tomorrow will be more active as Mom has an appointment and needs some groceries for Christmas.

Got my cranberry ring made today which will go to our daughter's, and also got the truffle mixture ready, It will cool in the fridge until tomorrow when I can roll it out. Also got some team stuff done in preparation for the winter challenge so we should be well prepared before the invitations go out no late than the end of next week I believe if I have my roster by then. I didn't get off to a very early start but still managed to get everything done that I wanted to accomplish.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - You got about twice as much snow as we did but that's okay - YOU can have it! 😁 Yes still some work to do on my winter team but I have a good start. No other leaders on board yet and only one other leader who's been invited but not responded yet. Some things need a bit more discussion before we set up feeds with information. Off to bed here!

Loving the snow pictures- so jealous! It's 29 degrees right now, but no precipitation.

@Dianedoessmiles1 If you have a small group, Hangouts doesn't time out. I think the limit is 10 people? Not 100%, but my friends and I meet weekly to solve geocaching puzzles for 2 hours.

I did some baking today to use up some pears and apples I received as a gift. House smells good and now I have a freezer full of snacks (mini muffins) and breakfast sized muffins that will last a long while

It's 27 feels like 22 with a high of 51 for today. Axe Sharpening: Show up for yourself. That's it. Show up for yourself TODAY.~~~Derek Weida 1st Phorm Elite Athlete Happy National Sangria Day!!!! Fitness quote for today: You must tell yourself, 'No Matter How Hard it is, or How Hard It Gets, I'm Going to Make it.'.~~~Les Brown Motivational quote for today: Your grateful heart can attract miracles.~~~unknown Closed all rings on my Active 4 and had 10,855 steps yesterday. Today's training plan is Strength then 50-40-30-20-10 and right into 5-10-15-20-25 to finish up.

@Dianedoessmiles1 Love the pictures, but it made my body shiver. Looking at pictures of snow is about all I'm able to tolerate! LOL

I wish everyone a Mele Kalikimaka this week! May all your wishes and prayers come true!

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Not into zoom - wouldn't know where to start and this time of the year, I'm not about to raise my stress levels trying to figure it out. I had a hard enough time doing a google chat with Heidi back when we were starting to plan the summer challenge and that was only two of us! Two of my leaders are working during the day and then there's time zone to figure into it as well as Fae is central I think. Your temps look like they're close to what we were getting today although I can't say that I actually checked the temp first thing this morning when I got up. We have our leader's group where we can chat and leave comments as each one has time.

@bookyNJ - It's always a relief when concerts and other performances are over as fun as they might be to do. Glad that you could unwind with a book! Hubby was finally able to book appointments today for us to get our boosters but we won't get them until January 11th so have to wait another three weeks.

Actually did a workout this morning for the first time in almost two weeks which is a sign that there's not much left to do to get ready before we head to our daughter's. Today was pretty light - roll out the truffles and make the cranberry sauce plus do more work on my team page. Hubby was out for a short time and he said it was nice but it's still below freezing and and it appeared to be windy. All that's left is to make the turnip casserole - cooking the turnip (I have two that are not too small) takes some time but at least the microwave does the work! Tomorrow I'll have to pop out to the post office at a nearby pharmacy to pick up a registered letter from my sister that contains cheques for my kids from mom's estate. We'll see how long the line is although I imagine most people have mailed parcels and cards by now if they want them to arrive by Christmas. I have a couple of other little tasks to do around here but nothing that will take more than a few minutes. Wednesday we'll be off to our daughter's to stay until Sunday.

Have a good evening!

@Retired_Sue ,,, We did what you are doing with the team leaders for many years, and it works, it's easy, convenient for you all. NOT at all a bad system, and there's still time too. WOOHOO to having time. I hope you are able to enjoy the drive to your D's and awwwww I know you'll have a great time. Okay you have me curious, what is in a turnip casserole? I'm not really into turnip, but I can perhaps be into squash and though they are different, it could be interesting.
@Cseguin2,,,, Crafting just feels so good. Usually calming and productive. WTG on the walking and helping your dear Mom. Hope the dentist goes well.

@Retired_Sue -thx for all that you do for the teams and I hope you get everything done that needs to be! Yup good book definitely helps to transition to something else. Sunday I was all about the emotions of it ending-now I am good to go. Glad you were able to get appointments-sorry it’s 3 weeks out! I booked mine a couple weeks ago. Sometimes the drug stores have cancellations if you want to try for sooner?
@Dianedoessmiles1 -oh that’s a lot of snow! Hope you enjoyed it-I don’t think we have much of that in the forecast yet-tgg hi at will be January/February.
