The Duffy's are finally getting our Christmas decorations out! Tonight we pick out the tree. (I got so much pressure from the kids about getting a real tree, that I caved in. Besides, when I went to get an artificial one--notice I am using the politically correct term, my family just loudly blurts out the word FAKE--they were all picked over and if I'm going to spend money on one I'd like to have one I actually like. So I will do it EARLY in the fall next year. Pre-lit here I come.)
Adrianne asked if she could help me decorate, and so we will begin tonight when everyone is done with work. At least I finally have Thanksgiving down. I'm a decorating nut, so have to have something for every holiday you know! Got that one from my mom. Thanks Mutti. (German word for mommy)
I've got a whole chicken out and ready to put in the soup pot. With the rainy weather, we are having a good old-fashioned homemade chicken noodle soup/stew with salad and biscuits for dinner tonight to initiate the Christmas decorating. Ummm. Can taste it already!
More later---

Ok, girl you are getting ready to go! I can smell the soup from here! This is probably our last year for the real tree, too! Day after Christmas, pre-lit on sale for me (I'll pick out the one I want now!)
I'll try calling you tomorrow so you can teach me how to get my blog printed so I can move on to December..........
Okay. Talk to you then. How did your party go on Tuesday?
