Cynthia's Chat

I have been too busy to even get my Christmas tree up!  But that does not mean I am NOT in the Christmas spirit.

Bill and I played the part of "Grandpa and Grandma" in our church musical.  Several youngsters from the church played our grandchildren.  They did a wonderful job.  But our real grandchildren, who came to watch the production, could not understand why the other children were calling us Grandma and Grandpa.  Finally, after wrestling with the two year old all through the program, our son-in-law let him go and he climbed up on stage to sit in HIS Grandpa's lap for the final song.  It was so cute!

So.........Christmas is just a little more than a week away.  I have Christmas in my heart, I just need to get it in my house.  The kids and grandkids will be here.  I have the turkey.  Now I need to shop for grandkids, decorate....you know - the little things!  (Oh!  The wood is chopped.  We did that last weekend.)

In January, I am looking forward to Bill and I meeting our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids at Disney World.  They live in Wyoming, and we don't see them as often as the rest.  Our daughter and son-in-law will be running in the Disney World Marathon, while Bill and I play with the kids.  Fair trade-off, I think, don't you?

In addition to my personal life, business is picking up as we near the end of 2008.  Interest rates are again at an historic low.  Call me if you would like to see what your home might be worth in this market. 

Now, I've got to go look for those elves who are going to help throw this Christmas together!
