epizootie

LP and I have both been sick for several weeks with some kind of crud.  She went to urgent care yesterday and the chest x-ray showed pneumonia.  Sooo...Our plans to go see Reaves' Christmas program turned into hanging out in the living room with Rosie the cat and church online again.  I hope God understands.

It's gloomy but quite warm with several days of rain in the forecast.  That doesn't bode well for my pecan picking.  I have about 20 lbs to sell and hoping to add to that.  It's not much but every little bit helps!

Bubba and I have a standing date on for Christmas breakfast out.  The past few years have been at Huddle House and we considered Waffle House this year UNTIL we found out that Hippie's Corner Cafe will be open.  We both love us some Casey Lou so I will make garlic cheese grits to go with the rest.  Of the women that I interviewed for SHE, Casey is the one who was most humble and appreciative about being featured.

I missed the party because....eppizootie.  I will go by the office this week and pick up a copy to add to the others that I have.  When Kathy Krone was writing for the SG she did a story about my family and our caregiving.  That was many years ago.  And this is today.

Once upon a time the blog fairy visited on Christmas Eve.  I was working that day and pulled up to the mailbox to find something that blew me away.  For months the fairy visited me with gifts and financial help.  I never did find out who it was because the postmarks were all over the map.  My mail carrier at the time was a big part of it.  I told him the story and he was amazed!

There are good people everywhere who care and I realize that.  When times get hard, expect nothing.  Miracles do happen.  As for me and mine, we need jobs ^j^
