Well, it is starting to happen. Most of you on here know that I have two children with Autism, well my son who is 12 and is still in love with Thomas the Tank, in fact he will sit for hours watching Youtube videos about Thomas the Tank and the different trains that go along with it. He came home from school today and as watching one of the videos and they were showing a kid getting some of the trains and "unboxing" (his word)them, I asked him who it was and if he wanted it and he said "Santa will get it for me", he may not know how to tie his shoes but he knows who Santa is and what Santa does, I will take that as a even trade. :smilecc:

Listening to Christmas music and trying to clean but it is feeling more and more like Saturday is calling and will get into something else instead, probably something Christmas related of course. :smilecc:

We are thinking of new garlands we can make for our Christmas tree this year. Last year, with the new tree, we did not have a garland. Since I only used new white and silver ornaments, it was impossible to find one in that color. So........any suggestions?

Right now it is 102F with a few tiny clouds in the sky. I now dream of rain instead of snow just so the temperatures are cooler. Of course my ultimate dream is for a White Christmas............even in the desert!! :snowwow: :snowwow:
