Our entire family had something to do today -
dstepson and dstepdil vacationing on their anniversary,
ds and ddil at his fire dept's annual fair with the children, where he'll have all-day responsibility,
dd20 with the young man and his sister all day at a different fair event plus supper for the sister's bday,
(and I suppose dd38 is making her rounds to check on each sick member of her family, poor thing).
So HRH and I are hanging out together quietly, thinking ... .. why is it we we race around helping everyone else plan and then find ourselves at loose ends? Of course, we're enjoying the quiet time.
We went through such musical chairs of what was going to be happening this weekend that it's strange to think no one is tugging on us. I expected that at this moment I'd have 3 grandsons with me at the children's event where I was going to be the craft teacher for 20 children total, worrying about how I'd accomplish a big family meal tonight with at least a dozen family members.
A fun Ta-Da that my quandary over the postponed craft (how to turn a Thanksgiving wreath craft into a Christmas wreath craft) sparked imagination for dd and me. I showed her some thoughts about adding caroling children, and she has turned them into a charming sketch of three, for 3 individual sticker-on-foam images for the children to use. Also brainstorming using the full drawing for our card this year.
Thinking of BookSaver enjoying her sewing friends today.
Unhappy skippable
we've been harrassed for 2 days by unscrupulous person(s) who are using my cell phone number to multi-call our landline house phone. As many as 10 calls each day. We understand this is a method of tricking people into believing a family/friend is calling so you will answer. It happens with numbers that often call each other. A friend feels they must answer these calls, having no way of knowing whether it is the other friend calling genuinely or not. We're tough and can handle some difficulty, but many folks would be terribly confused and taken in by this, end up with bad feeling about innocent friends, etc. What sorry money-grubbers these are, to find ways to make profit (somehow?) off of the fact that normal humans have relationships and care about others.
