Crochet Me Crazy

It was fun for awhile but I sure am glad to be back home! A visit to the big city gets to me pretty quick...all the people everywhere, the traffic and crazy drivers! I'm sure it was much worse because it's Christmas. Geez...you put your life at stake driving on Austin highways! We went to a free trail of lights that was organized very nicely. They had school buses shuttling people to the trail where you got out and walked the trail of lights with various displays put on by local businesses. They moved the people very fast and we barely had to wait. We went to my friend's house and they ordered pizza. We hit a couple of thrift stores on the way home. One thing I really, really miss is thrift stores! Jeff found some jeans at the thrift store so God was smiling on us because he usually doesn't find jeans at the thrift stores. He was down to two pair of jeans.

Alison is working on teaching herself to play the Bridal Chorus on the piano right now. She is going to play it at a wedding on the 31st! She's using trusty ol' You-Tube tutorial to help her play two hands. It's a small wedding but she'll get to play it in a church.

Good news....we're going to San Antonio Tuesday with Jeff because he has a JOB interview! The job that he had the phone pre-interview for called him to come for an interview. If he gets this job, he will be installing satellite TV systems. They were hiring in our area and he will be dispatched to the jobs from his house. It's kinda funny that he'll be installing satellite systems and we don't even watch TV in our house! We gave up TV after living without it for so long...we decided we don't want it back. Too addictive, time wasting and keeps you from doing other things plus there's not much on worth watching anyway!

Well, this is certainly not feeling like it's only a couple of days away from Christmas! Tomorrow, I'm going to start some preparations for some of our food. We're just having a few little snacky things that we all like...taco dip, sausage balls, and I'm making my twiced baked potatoes to go with the steak Jeff is going to make on the grill. We don't normally eat steak but we've had someone gift us some steaks so I think Christmas is a good day for it.

I pray you all have a very Merry Christmas!!!
