homes.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t get me wrong, we enjoyed the time with them, but we wanted to do something at our house too.\u00a0 Some years it has been a meal centered around dishes from our history or geography studies.\u00a0 This year it was just a nice meal together at a time when no one had to be at work.\u00a0 So last Sunday afternoon, I set the table with some of my &#8220;good dishes,&#8221; and we had a good meal.\u00a0 This past Monday, I attended a Christmas event that was very lovely, and I had a very good time.\u00a0 Pair all of that up with preparing for Christmas, church services, and more doctor appointments than I wish for my boys and my dad.\u00a0 Also, my husband and I have just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary!\u00a0 Whew!\u00a0 I often feel like I&#8217;m too busy, and now you know part of the reason why.\u00a0 I would rather be busy than bored, though.\u00a0 If I don&#8217;t post again before Christmas, I wish all of you the most wonderful of holidays!\u00a0 Don&#8217;t forget to celebrate Christ&#8217;s birth.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/2moremade4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2022\/12\/IMG_1553-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"358\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/homeschoolblogger.com\/2moremade4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2022\/12\/IMG_1509-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"387\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello once again!\u00a0 Not long after my last post and shortly before Thanksgiving, my laptop decided to crash.\u00a0 After working on it for several days myself and also my son, I took it to have a professional look at it.\u00a0 He informed me that it would probably take a few hundred dollars to &#8220;possibly&#8221;
