Lights are on the house and the back deck. My hb forgot that he was aggravated last year and tossed nearly all the house lights in the trash, so we don’t have enough to make it around the front completely. That means another trip to Walmart! We bought the tree and it’s in the stand, but we didn’t pay enough attention to the bottom and so our tree is much shorter after trimming and it has a bare spot:) I am smiling….what a funny scene we must have made for the neighbors, out in the front yard with a small chainsaw. He changed that tree from 7ft. To 5 1/2 in about a minute. Totally unnecessary for what he was doing, I just think he likes power tools! We have small house so its fine, but it is definitely a smaller tree than the last few years.
We had a great service at church and we took our pastor and his wife to lunch today. They have a one year old baby who is precious beyond words. She is adopted and I know they struggle with those adoption costs. That lunch was well overdue, but we had zero money up until now. Thankfully, they were conservative and we didn’t break the bank. IT FEELS AMAZING TO BE ABLE TO SIT WITH THEM WITHOUT GUILT AND SHAME! That lunch meant a lot to them. What a wonderful benefit of not gambling!!
I start my new job tomorrow:)
