Oh my gosh December already, I was searching for a background as awesome as the leaves for fall was but so far no luck. :-)   I will make it festive anyway ....Bakes Christmas cookies today, picked up some tiny decorations to put on my tiny dwarf alberta spruce tree I have in my bedroom, I have lots of tiny candy canes, red bows streams of silver ribbon and red bulbs.  It almost seems more difficult to decorate the little ones.

Finishing up the semester at school, lots of papers and projects to get done in a two week period. But when it's done it's done till January 20th, I have my life back for a whole month!


I have enjoyed this semester it's been fun and I am always happy when I do well.

Christmas time In New York City

Hey everybody....every year we go to New York City on a bus trip..Golden Memories tour buses.  The bus leaves at 3 am on Saturday so when we come home from work on Friday it's  push time to get everything done...packing the snacks and water for the way ...also a blanket and pillow, you sleep on the bus and sometimes it gets chilly  and of course the pillow stops your head from bumping the window if you have the window seat.  Even though we sleep on the bus for hours it is best I find to take a nap before driving into Greece at 3 am, don't want to fall asleep driving to the pick up spot.  We get up at 1 ish take showers get ready for the new day  feed the dog , toss him a treat, grab our bags and off we go.

I don't love the trip in the cold and dark at 300 am but find that the shivering does keep me away.:-)

In twenty minutes on the x-press way totally by ourselves we are in the parking lot of a restaurant waiting for out bus to arrive. Better not to fall asleep during your wait or you could wake up in a parking lot full of cars and no one in site.  After a few hours usually three, we wake up to the air brakes of the bus , the light above us going on  and  reading a sign telling us we are in Pennsylvania ..  awesome I have left the state in my sleep. The trip to the bathrooms, mb some breakfast then back on  the bus, to fall asleep on the bus until the sun is shining on your face.

Within seconds you are excited about being at your destination......Christmas in New York City!

And our quest for the day begins.

Lots of people...
Lots of  things to see...
Lots of cold weather..

Lots of excitement.....
Lots of walking...

and lots of talking pictures of everything along the way....lots of fun fun fun

Winter fling of wayne county

Wayne county's businesses have what's called the Winter Fling people pick up a sheet  which lists the different business locations. Patrons , visitors and people who want to have fun pick up a sheet and start their mini treasure hunt.   When you visit you get to try all kinds of foods and then to pick out a prize to take home with you. After we went to the different stores we went to Sodus Point and enjoyed the water.

And then we went to Webster park to watch still more wild waters..

By now  many of the leaves have fallen but last weekend we got a chance to take pics of the last ones that

were left on the trees.  I can remember being a child and how much fun it was when my Dad would rake the

leaves and us kids would jump into them, best time ever!

Thanksgiving will be here soon, where did the time go? We had a great summer and fall not to sure I am

excited about the winter season coming up but there are a lot of fun things and holidays during those long

 months of winter.  You can have parties, I sell Scentsy so I have parties every other month, in a couple of

days I will have a purse party and thought it might be fun to have a Dove chocolate party in late January

beginning of February.  If there is an interest I will have a party.




We had a Halloween Scentsy party which was a lot of fun...here are some picture of it to enjoy:

these donuts are the best

Party favors I found at the dollar tree, we filled up bags with candy and each person got a fun tiny pumpkin
