Oh, Andy… Sometimes, I really do not know what to do with you. If you know, you know.

One of Laura’s high school friends, Abbey, came to visit tonight. It was so great to see her!

We drove through the Veterans United Christmas Light display tonight.

We had not gone in a few years. As always, it was beautiful with some very interesting Christmas trees, and Veterans United has added some new displays.

My favorite of all the different displays is still this Santa.

It is just a few more days until Christmas!

Laura’s best friends from high school are here for a sleepover tonight.

I love that they continue to hang out even though they are all in college now. As I went to bed, there was a whole lot of laughter coming from the basement. I love this group of kids (young adults)!

Andy and Laura enjoyed some jazz at Broadway Brewery this evening. I was supposed to go with Andy, but I have been sick for two days. I am glad that Laura decided to go with Andy and that they got to spend some time together, but I was sad that I did not feel well enough to go.

Laura made the Fall 2024 President’s List at SEMO. Congratulations, Kiddo! Your hard work paid off!

Last year, Jim was very interested in the dining room Christmas tree. The ornaments are the perfect size to be played with by a cat, and he definitely had fun with some of them. Years ago, when we moved into the new house and put up that tree for the first time, I found initial ornaments for all of us at Hobby Lobby. Unfortunately, I put Andy’s “A” ornament too close to the bottom. In Jim’s zeal to play with anything ball-shaped, he ended up breaking it. So, I found these to replace them. So far, Jim is uninterested in the dining room Christmas tree, so maybe these will be safe!
