I have 19 confirmed guests, which is a nice number to deal with. The problem is the nerve damage in my back and foot, plus the neuropathy. Those are new this year - the old stuff I have learned to work around. I love cooking holiday meals and having a houseful here. Dinner is much like Murphy's, but I tend to add too much. I will need a ham and turkey both and at least two desserts, but two is enough. I am going make a list and stick to it. No "Oh, Dan would like -----, and Susan would like ___," etc. This is not their only meal of the year.

I have been working outside. Cleaning the gutters has to be the most despicable job out there. I have a wild cherry tree over that side and the cherries ferment and smell like a swamp, plus I'm a wimp on ladders. But it's done. Yay!

My weight was up a bit this morning, but I know mine flucuates and I've surely worked it off. I went to a quilt show today and won an hourly drawing. A 4 pack of good Christmas FQs. My other choices were blue/yellow and I don't do blue, pastel prints that were not good fabric or Civil War prints in a drab brown. I probably should have picked up the blue, but if my youngest DD wants a blue and yellow quilt next year, she can buy the fabric.

Wishing you all a happy. healthy day. I am losing weight and getting healthier.
