Dragging Stuff Inside

I brought more Christmas stuff inside from the basement and cellar. As I found stuff I was looking for, I found stuff to throw away. So that was two good things. I also made more cornbread patties with pepper and onion and a mincemeat pie. My kindle isn't working for my blog or email. My hotspot is draggy. Luckily, I have some time. Unluckily, it's boring waiting for it to decide to work.

Friends and Family

It turns out a friend doesn't agree with me politically. We've been friends for years and honestly, she's not the first friend or relative to disagree with me. After a discussion, she said, she agrees right now but doesn't think our choices right now are what they should be. I kind of agree with her, but pointed out that the choices we have are the choices we have and she shouldn't decide not to vote just because nobody is what she wants. After a bit where she said I'm an elitist, she felt bad about saying it to me. I was pretty stunned that she thought that. She asked if I was mad at her and I said of course I am. I prefer everybody to agree with me. Then I said I wasn't angry, we just have to agree to disagree.

Volunteer Day

About the only thing I did today was volunteer. I guess it wasn't a wasted day. I had things on my list but didn't do any of them. Nice to be able to do that once in a while.

Warm Today

My big plan today was to cook beans, cornbread patties with hot pepper, and slaw. That worked out fine, including going to WalMart to get the stuff. This afternoon we cut some trees that have gotten pretty big in the flower strip that runs parallel to the road. We didn't get very far, maybe a fifth of the way. But it's a start. It was so warm I almost had to take off my sweater.

Decorating

I wanted to put out my ceramic Christmas village so I was taking the skull to the storage area. Larry saw what I was doing and objected strenuously. I asked if he was sure he wanted the Halloween skull to stay in the living room for Christmas. He said he did. Well, I didn't want my Christmas village with the skull, so I took the pictures and knick-knacks off the two shelves on that wall. I relocated the stuff into the guest room and put my ceramic village out. It looks great there. I'm not sure why Larry wants the skull out, but there it sits, right next to the St. Nicolaus we bought when we were in Germany. Larry said he couldn't put out the bells because I'd put pansies in baskets where he usually puts the bells. So I waited until he was off doing something and put the bells on the same brackets but above the pansies. The red bells and purple pansies look great together. Even Larry likes it.
We've been eating leftovers from Thanksgiving, but tomorrow we are going to have slaw, pinto beans, and cornbread. I love beans and cornbread:)
