Caught up!

Today is a let down, by that I mean I feel as though there is nothing to do. Wait I can relax. After having been busy with craft shows, preparing for them I 'm done. And Christmas has not even arrived. We are in our 3rd day of continuous snow. It has been light, but steady. We are also in a cold snap, woke up to below 0 several mornings this past week.
The Christmas Bazaar yesterday went well. We had our best year sales wise yet. I think this is one show they could do 2 days. I took Apple Butter, Tooth Fairy pillows, Quilts, Bath Salts and Body Scrubs, Gift in a Jar, and of course Watkins. Going to have to call Christina to put the suggestion of 2 days in her mind.
Attended a Boulder Woman's Dinner last night. They had ham, rolls, casseroles, desserts, green beans, and so much more to eat. It was buffet style, and very good. Connie and another woman performed a Christmas skit in which the audience participated, decorating a tree. We each received a Christmas ornament during this performance. It was a nice, relaxing evening.
Learned on Wednesday that my little brother Chris (44) had to have emergency surgery. The Dr removed his appendix and 1/3 of his colon. They don't think cancer but are checking for diverticulitis. He is doing well, still in hospital. He was catheterized, had an IV placed, tubal feeding, on O2, the works. I spoke to him on Friday and he sounded good. Originally found out about this from my nephew on all things- FaceBook!!
The same night I found out about this I was told by my Mom that my Sister-In-Law (Linda) was in an accident on her way to or from work, not sure which. She fell asleep at the wheel. From the pictures Chuck sent me she is damn lucky to have survived. Instead she escaped with only a full blown concussion. No broken or fractured bones or anything else. We are so thankful for that, the fact that she was otherwise ok. Talking to my brother he said they are running tests on her thyroid, as they found a mass on it when they were running xrays for the accident. He said Mom and Dad are not to be told of this at this point until they know what is going on. I told hime that I would not say anything and I would let that up to him.
I also was told that my Uncle was admitted via the hospital to a Nursing Home. Evaluation in 3 months as to whether or not he can return home. Apparently he stopped taking his meds and stopped eating. Mom says the holidays are a hard time for him, but I think he is deciding to give up. We'll see.
Watched a wonderful Eagles game today. They beat Atlanta. What a great homecoming for Vick.
Sent Mom E's package last week w/ strict instructions it is not to be opened until Christmas. Sending my parents out tomorrow w/ the same instructions. I hope they follow them...
Think maybe I'll decorate this week, and if I have time bake some cookies. At least prep for them, refrigerate dough and stuff before I leave Thursday for Billings.
