After posting on FB that I was looking into buying a treadmill, my cousin sent over, via hubby Max, an exercise machine she no longer used. Knowing Max would be here by 10 am I slept in til 7:45, walked Wyatt & vacuumed & mopped the kitchen.
This machine is a flex 'something or other'. I'm not sure it's what I want but, since Beth was so gracious, I will try it:)
Max is such a friendly fella:) We always enjoy seeing him so we visited for a while.
After getting a few birthday cards in the mail & folding a small load of clothes, I decided to enter Keith's mom's Thanksgiving recipes into my computer--wonderful recipes I don't want to lose, like how she cooks a turkey & her wonderful potato salad dressing & many others:) Mom was a great cook & she misses it now that's she lives in a tiny studio apartment:)
Keith began working on our Christmas letter. I wasn't sure I wanted to send cards/a letter this year, but in the last week or two have changed my mind. Figured with the letter written & printed before Thanksgiving, along with paring down the address list, I could get them out without too much worry.
I asked Keith earlier if he'd be interested in actually going to see a movie this evening! We never go to a theater, relying on our Netflix movies, but I'd like to see the new James Bond movie, Skyefall, on the big screen! Keith's pondering it. Duke, State, & Wake Forest all play football at 3:30, so we may watch one of those while he's still considering...
After Thanksgiving I'm going to wish I had this calm "day off before the holidays" back! I'll have to get in high gear to get everything accomplished that I'd like to have done. (My work schedule will go to 5 days a week beginning in December) I've been begging for a Christmas list from my kids, but they aren't really motivated yet:)
Keith just handed me the addresses to sort through so, better get busy:)!
PS. Decided at the last minute to see the movie Argo--a good movie, a great true story of rescue.

It is strange how different we can be! You long for the mtns., where I long for the beach! I like the mtns. but I truly love the beach, the sand the sun shining on the horizon. I just love the essence of the ocean. Growing up we almost always went to the mtns. I longed for the beach and it is for our daughters that we visit what we love!
Love, Christy
