Here we are, December 2nd! Just a few more weeks until Christmas and then we bid 2022 adieu. So here we go. Our first Friday Five of December 2022!
- I saw the most lovely Christmas Cactus at the grocery store. It was so beautiful that I had to bring it home.
Currently, all the buds are opening and I am enjoying it even more!

- Tomorrow I will begin doing my Christmas cards. I’m not doing a letter, I will just write small personal notes inside each one. As it is, I am sending out fewer and fewer.
- I have decorated for Christmas in a small way. I used to go the whole hog, but now I have a small tree and some decorations.
- Lastly, I bet I will work all weekend on the cards, laundry, and some cooking. Jack has said I can cook anything, just not turkey!
