Nearing Completion

 The hectic holiday shopping season is complete, well mostly. 

We sighted the finish line yesterday and to be honest I think I have two more gifts to collect and then we can put a much needed ribbon around the 2024 Holiday Gift Blitz. Amazon has been a lifesaver! The final gifts arrived yesterday, as scheduled. 

We are entering the final stages and remember; Christmas is one short week from today. 

Now we begin working the logistics of the season. Menu planning, shopping, cooking, baking, and collapsing with a glass of wine at night!

Chris and I took time last evening to visit our favorite Happy Hour location, that would be Tiki52. Although the day was pleasantly warm with temperatures nearing 80 degrees, the breeze blowing off the ICW last evening was cool and strong. We had a small accident with the waitstaff removed dirty plates and the placemat/menus went airborne and toppled drinks on the table next to us. 

It is time for a deep breath.

Today is devoted to finishing my remaining two gifts and having the Mach-e evaluated for the recall we received last week. 

There is light at the end of the tunnel and I'm pretty sure it is not an onrushing train.
