Keeping Busy on an Autumn Day

 I had to go pick up a prescription so I decided since I was already out, I might as well take some pictures around town. Loaded them up on Facebook and then went out again to bring some comfort foods into the house.  I mean apartment. About killed me packing those two bags upstairs. I should go to the doctor and see about getting a steriod shot in my hip for bursitis. He told me a few months ago that I didn't need to suffer long term if I thought a shot would help but I keep putting it off. Figured I'm fine as long as I'm seated so I'll deal with it and see if it goes away by itself. Sometimes that works. Not usually but sometimes.  I have noticed I've been free of toe, ankle, foot, and calf cramps for some time now. So odd how it comes and goes.  If only I could figure out why. When they're on the scene, my life is miserable.

Here's the pics I took (sorry if you already saw them on FB)

I've been preparing my Christmas gift list and since I'm gifting a lot of homemade things this year, I'm about finished on the chore. Have to go on Amazon and look for Jake things thanks to Mary's helpful list.

I got out my smaller rocks to paint Santa faces on them so I'll be working on them for the next few days.

                                     This is kinda what they'll look like. So cute.

I used up the last of my cardstock to make photo greeting cards and I'll work on them this week too. I've made several already and even wrapped them up but I have more pictures to use so I'm doing 40 more.

I finished a real pretty bird jigsaw puzzle yesterday.

I pulled out my small supply of yarn a few nights ago to see if I could get in the mood to do some crocheting while watching night time tv.  So far, it's been like reading a book -- puts me to sleep. How'd this happen?!

Three weeks from today and it'll be Thanksgiving already. I'm eating and Jen & Wayne's this year and will spend the night. Visiting with Joyce Lee the next day and will most likely hit Walmart for a few things on my list.  I made banana chocolate chip cookies yesterday. Always a bit of a challenge to cook in this small kitchen. I gave away several plates to neighbors and then froze the rest.

Waiting for dinner to arrive.   Today is green salad, chicken alfredo, peas, garlic bread, berries & pound cake.

Saw pictures on Facebook about the Nordland Store being lost to a fire. I wonder if they'll rebuild.

And last but not least.....
