I do believe I could get used to this . . . not working, I mean. I’ve been off work since noon last Wednesday and I must say, it’s wonderful. We’ve had a lot of company though, so it’s not like we’re doing absolutely nothing. Our son’s family came up for several days and left yesterday around noon and my husband’s brother and his family are coming up here tomorrow. They’ll be staying at our house, but willl be spending some of their time at their son’s house. Their daughter-in-law donated one of her kidneys to her mother a couple days before Christmas and both are recuperating at their son’s house. There are lots of aunts, uncles and cousins doing the cooking and cleaning for them. . . oh yes, and the baby sitting too. Millie has two little kids. One is 8 and one is 2, so I’m sure that between cooking, cleaning and baby sitting the family will have their hands full.

I am glad you are enjoying your time off. Just think this time next year you will really be OFF! :goodjob: I’m glad that Millie and her mother are well enough to be home. :heartbeat:
OOoooh, nice picture
I love gates and hedges… nicely done.
It is nice to see the family and get together.
Enjoy the time off. Happy New Year!!
So happy to see you’re enjoying your time off. And how awesome of their daughter-in-law to donate her kidney. Neat. Please keep us updated on their progress. Happy New Year! :heartbeat:
The gift of a kidney for Christmas….doesn’t get much better than that.
Happy New Year to you and yours. The lost child was lost in a crowded exhibit and only came to the store as she could not find her parents. Why she was in hysteria and I could not calm her is something I will never know. It is a first as I am always dealing with lost children and have never had to tackle a running child before. Well not tackle but grab her and not let go! It is not something I like to do but it was necessary in this case!

Happy New Year Christine :heartbeat:
Happy New Year!
:wave: …gorgeous pic! :goodjob: The home and grounds look so inviting.
…do any of you (Alice, Lola) “do[ing] absolutely nothing”??? Even when you’re sitting around, it’s not sitting around. :spinning:
…how does ANYTHING compare to a new kidney for Christmas??? Delighted Mother and Daughter are doing well, may their road to recovery continue.
…Happy New Year, Chris. We know the end of the year will be great, wishing good times in-between. :sunny: MuSe
I really must get back down to King William.
Have a safe New Year gathering and a blessed upcoming year. :sunny:
