Not too many households are quiet this week what with last minute shopping, cleaning, and later, all the cooking that goes into Christmas dinner.
   We are no different. One son is due in from Germany Wednesday with his wife. We've not seen them in over a year and look forward to the visit.
   Also getting ready for Christmas is Molly, out Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She's at the groomer, or as I say the beauty parlor at the moment.
   She was overdue for a good bath, nail cutting and clipping. We vacuumed the other day and emptied the vac bag. My wife said there was enough dog hair in the bag to make another dog!
   Whatever is on your agenda these days, take your time and be safe. In the end, it somehow all gets done. If it doesn't, it usually works out to where it isn't that important after all.
