New Years at Mom's House

Well, I am spending time with my mom in Rome. I got a laptop for Christmas and we are on the net looking at stuff. I wish my mom would get a computer so she can share in this fun. I've got to go get milk with Ray and the guy needs to plow the driveway. see ya.

Brown Paper packages tied up with string!!

Well, I am terrible in keeping up with blogging. but last night I had to laugh at myself because I had such a huge mess of jute twine and felt the need to untangle it. I had been wrapping presents all day and the kitchen was a mess. The jute twine was a mess to start with and I had been just dealing with it. But now is is all fixed. I had to cut it once because it was tied and frayed. I am much happier now with my BALL of TWINE!

Have you ever heard about Mummers? It sounds like fun. It is kinda like trick or treat for grown ups mixed with Christmas caroling and partying. People dress up and go out to friends houses to sing and try and see if the people can figure out whe everyone is. They cover their faces with cloths, hankies, doilies or what ever.
