The Weekend Wrap ~ December 21st

P1160020 (3)

My kitchen on Saturday and most of Sunday looked like the aftermath of a ticker-tape parade! Bits of paper, ribbons, and bows were strewn all around the kitchen! It was time for me to wrap the gifts I have ordered the last few months, and I guess I am getting old because it took me far longer to wrap than it ever has!

I have these wonderful shopping bags that I stacked the presents in, and they are now ready to go, whenever it is that I will go and see my grandchildren.

I did have one problem. a cute outfit I had purchased for my grandson, was not in good shape! It appeared that the outfit had been slashed with a knife! So, that one is going back!

I fretted about this and in the end, I found a supplier of the exact same outfit that will have it here on Monday afternoon!

Once I finished up with the wrapping, and folded the paper up, and stored the bows and labels, I came into my kitchen to wash my hands. I turned on the water and we had almost no water pressure!

I put on my boots and coat and went to check the cell-cocks around the house to make sure none of them had turned on. Sure enough, there was one near our screened-in porch that was gushing! I trudged through the snow and got it to shut off. Water pressure problem fixed! Of course, I was soaked, as the snow is well IP past my knees.

And then, mid-afternoon, it started to snow once again. This time just a few inches.

The weekend was finally over. Wait! Monday is laundry day! No rest for me!

  1. Wow you have snow ! We still have too warm weather for he season and of course rain ! I don’t have to wrap anything this Christmas, it will be a very special one I never had ! Father Christmas got an email with the links to a page on Internet and as I am the Father Christmas I just had to choose amongst the links, order the gifts and pay. I just had to put a little cross in a square if i wanted it wrapped with a card ! See, that’s modern Christmas the rest will take place on Zoom when he has the gifts opened and he will show them to us ! I downloaded Zoom already !!
    I am soo fed up with this Corona circus, we so strict rules ! One person to invite for Christmas, they are crazy ! Curfew on Christmas Eve at midnight and on New Year at 10 pm !!!! The restaurants are closed everywhere in the European countries so I have to order a meal and they will bring it. Most of the restaurants to earn some money do house delivery ! No Christmas tree this year, but i have decorated the living room. It will be an evening like all others, supper, TV, bed ! How amusing ! I have the impression that somebody stole one year of my life !
