Assorted Odds and Ends....


Dictionary: Odds and Ends
pl.n.
Miscellaneous items, remnants, or pieces.

A motley assortment of things.

Miscellaneous items, fragments and remnants, as in I've finished putting everything away, except for a few odds and ends. This expression may have originated as odd ends in the mid-1500s, meaning "short leftovers of some material" (such as lumber or cloth). It had acquired its present form and meaning by the mid-1700s.

------------------------------------------------

The last few days have been a motley assortment for sure of stuff. Hubby and older son left for deer hunting on Thursday, Kasey and I have been trying to see a movie, but seems the theatres have technical difficulties when we show up..*L* We've stayed up late talking, watching TV, eating, and playing on the computers. Did a little work in there somewhere as well.

Last night Josh and Jeff came over for a short overnight, Jake is heading out early for a day of hockey, and soon I'll be heading out for Portage, after dropping off the grandsons.



Kasey is holding down the fort till I get back later today ... I'm just hoping that with the opening of deer season (rifle season) this morning that I don't have to dodge a lot of deer that will be running out from the woods and fields on my way upnorth and back... Lord, hear my prayer!

More about today later.....

=====================================
~~ MORE ADDED LATER TONIGHT ~~

We all had a nice visit with Aunt Evelyn today. She invited us to come for lunch and to get together to pick out some of her and Uncle Chick's Christmas decorations, and some other nice things. It's hard to believe that Aunt Evelyn will be 90 years old in a few months. She is getting around pretty good despite having some back problems which she is going to be having some surgery on after the holidays.



This is me, Aunt Evelyn, Sherry, back row, Mary, Donna & Arvona.

Thank you Aunt Evelyn, the ornaments and other things that you gave us will be shared with our kids and grandkids, and will be treasured just as you and Uncle Chick both are treasured and loved by us!!
