Dear Lydia

Hello
This is my first posting on my new blog and I don't quite know what to say. I've been very busy the last few weeks, mostly with out of town company. My dear friend, Lois and her family came and stayed twice for about a week at a time. We had a great time together. Lois showed me how to make all of her special chocolate dipped Christmas candy, which I plan on making again in December to give as gifts. We also have begun clipping coupons like crazy and going to some great moneysaving/coupon websites. It can actually be a lot of fun and a little addicting -- sort of like thrift shopping. HaHa! Anyway it does make you feel good to a save a buck. Well my mother-in-law also came and stayed for almost 2 weeks. We stayed busy the whole time though I can't remember right now what all we did. I did give Wesley a cute pirate birthday party for his 5th birthday. It turned out great, especially the cake! It was a pirate island cake with the water and beach. I'll have to figure out how to post of picture of it. Well so long. I'm tired of typing to no one in particular --- I don't think I'm really digging this blogging thing. It seems like a waste of time and energy. Almost like writing in a diary . . . totally dull. Well so long!
