I did a lot more Christmas shopping yesterday. I've whittled my list down to 5 gifts remaining. I plan to go to Springfield this Friday and finish up! Chely has school in Springfield on Tuesday and Friday so I'll drive and drop her off at school by 8am, then I'll meet back up with her for lunch, and be there to pick her up when her classes end at 5pm. That gives me a lot of hours to fill--Holly is going to take the day off and go shopping with me. Only bad thing is one of the gifts I have to get yet is hers, not sure how that's going to work out. Seems like a lot of time to find 5 gifts but the driving around from place to place is what takes up the time. Plus I don't have a clue what I'm getting 3 of the people. I love the holiday's but I always stress about the gifts, guess I've run out of good ideas!!
On a different note--we found out about a week ago that Doyle's brother Roy has AML leukemia. He's in the hospital in Texas where he lives. Thankfully another brother and his family live there also, so they have been there for him. We will be making a trip to see him the week of Christmas, not totally sure of all the details yet, but it's just something that we feel we need and want to do. So I guess I really have 6 gifts to get, because I will want to take a gift for Roy when we go. I'm thinking a nice flannel housecoat, or maybe sleep pants, or maybe........

I sure wish we were going down at the same time you go. I hope things are going well for Roy and they stop the progress of the leukemia and even reverse it. I think about him all the time. Let me know how things go there. I will be back here plugging away at work.
