As I said before, we are fairly ready for Christmas already this year. All the presents are accounted for. We are trying to figure out menus and food to have on hand for the weekend when Cliff and Phil are here. Although we have a big Safeway close by, it will be closed on Christmas, so we want to have food figured out ahead of time. Cliff gave some suggestions. We are waiting for Phil to give input.
Our little tree has some presents round it now, thanks to relatives who have sent us things. I hear a few more packages are coming. Surprises are always fun!
Today I went to an ASG neighborhood group meeting--the Eastside Day Group. I'm getting to know the members and have been impressed. They had a great turn out especially considering that Christmas is only a few days away. A sewing teacher gave a detailed lesson on using stabilizers. I think I'd use my embroidery machine (in Bellevue) more if I had the right stabilizers on hand. I've wanted to embroider t-shirts, but have avoided that because the stabilizers are scratchy. This teacher told me about two products to iron on over the stabilizer to solve that problem. Maybe I'll give it a try. I'm getting on the group's e-mail list so I can participate in extra curricular field trips. There is a big expo type event in Phoenix next month, for example, and many people will be carpooling to that. I probably can't attend because we'll be packing to leave here about then. I have the real Expo in Puyallup to look forward to, though, so don't feel too bad about missing the Phoenix one.
