Hello and Happy Sunday!

Merry Christmas!


On the Home Front: A busy week, but at least there were no appointments. Yay!

Monday ~ Trip and I went out to get the last few bits and bobs for Christmas.

Tuesday and Wednesday ~ I can't remember what I did. lol

Thursday ~ Grocery pick up. Then I wrapped the grandkiddos presents.

Friday ~ I finished wrapping presents. I did it for a million hours. Or, at least, that's what my back thinks.

Saturday ~ I did the cleaning, worked on the blog for a bit, and watched Bones.

Sunday ~ I plan on baking goodies and cooking Christmas Eve dinner. Hubby has to work, so he'll miss it fresh.


Touching Nature: Got 3.5" of rain last Sunday. Then it got cold again. I have done nothing outside except feed my critters.

Book News: Finished 3 books for BBNYA2023 and now that the winner has been announced I can mark them on Goodreads.

Don't Touch That Dial!:  Still rewatching Bones and that's it.

At the Flicks: Nope

Cyberspace Playground: Wordle, Word Lots, Solitaire, jigsaw puzzles

Randomness:  Suddenly, I want to move to Alaska.



And because it's Christmas Eve, here's a bonus.


Carol's Nuggets of Wisdom: Wrap presents when you get them and it won't be so bad. I tell myself this every year and every year I ignore my own advice. LOL

That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

    1. Well, the goodies were: 7 Layer Cookies, Russian Tea Balls, Texas Sheet Cake, pumpkin pie, cherry pie, and Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake. Then dinner was: warming up a Honey-Baked Ham I bought a few weeks ago and put in the freezer (I used my Instant Pot), mashed potatoes, green beans, home made mac & cheese, rolls, and stuffing. I was in the kitchen ALL day. We will be doing leftovers for several days. lol

  5. Ha ha! That Alexa meme is funny. It sounds like you had a busy week. I'm guessing most of us did trying to get ready for the big day. I hope you had a nice Christmas. I think I need to rewatch Bones as well. I love that show!
