I wrapped and wrapped today. I'm on the downhill side of that now. Did you know that I used to not do any wrapping until Christmas Eve? At night, after all the festivities. But it was the way my mom did it and so I thought that was how it was done. I only realized that about 5 years ago. No more of the staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning to wrap. It is sooooo much nicer to have it all done before hand.
I finished another baby blanket. I think this one is my favorite of the ones I've been doing so far. That can be tricky though since each one I complete becomes my favorite until I do the next one. Haha!
We got some VERY SAD news: Roscoe was hit by a car and died this evening. Roscoe the cute brown Dachshund of Meredith's family. Ah, he was a naughty boy most of the time, but if you are a dog lover there is just something about him that one has to love. Ros was kinda old, but still. He was out for a walk with Erik and Tyler and slipped out of his collar and ran into the street. Terrible, terrible. Meredith went with her dad to tend to him. A very kind woman brought the boys home and contacted Patti who went home to tend to them. I shed some tears as well. Roscoe liked me and I felt a little connection to him because he reminded me so much of one of my dogs growing up. Her name was Gretchen. Gretchen Tina Marie Boucher Davis was her pedigree name. Loved that doggie so much. I found her dead one early morning in the kitchen in her bed under the desk on my way to seminary. She had lived a long life. Pets teach us soooo much.
