Good Morning,
Well, this has been the coldest December for the longest amount of time that I can remember. 20's at night and 30', 40's during the day. At least I have a good store of firewood and a nice stove to put it in. Makes me wonder what January and February hold in store.!
Well, the 2009 Christmas season is now over, things are starting to settle down and we all had a "thin" but a good Christmas holiday. I got nothing woodworking related, in fact, I got next to nothing as money has been tight and things are hard, so the LOML and I opted to make sure we got nothing for each other and we don't exchange gifts with extended family now because everyone is on fixed incomes or just don't have the money to spend outside of living day to day.
The LOML and I were so happy to spend time with our families over Thanksgiving and with most of our kids on Christmas. In very many ways, we are truly blessed and this year was the happiest we've had in a while.
I have a few small woodworking projects to do, but I haven't had time yet to even start them. I spend my time at the day job, helping with the kids school work at the end of each day, prepare the lessons for my youngest son's school work before I go to bed each night and share some hot tea with the LOML at our end of each day just to connect and share a quiet time before bed.
Christmas was a very busy time this year due to various people wanting me to play bass guitar sessions for them. I love to help and play, but I can only do so much. One of my primary drives for bass playing this coming year is to learn how to play true jazz bass guitar. But that's a whole nuther story.
Well, that's it for me...so what did YOU do this past Christmas holiday weekend?
Best of weeks to you all.
