Two nice days before the next Cold Front

Cut wood yesterday with Danny and Phyllis and visited with them for a while. Repairman fixed the heater in Ellen's house next door to the tune of $363. Erin called us asked us to put a sign up at the Cottontop to sell her old Fridge and Office Desk.
The control on the new tv went out so have to take it back to Best Buy tomorrow and get another one. They didnt want to come out to the house to get it as I have a 4 year in home service policy to do any repairs. At first he said to bring the tv and remote in but when I told him it was a 60', he sure was back tracking.
We worked on Christmas presents on and off all day and will do that again today and tomorrow.
Tomorrow night Santa comes to the Fire Department between 7 and 8pm, will have to be there at 5:30 to get everything set up for Santa's visit. Bob or Chip will take the Fire Engin to meet Santa and bring him in to the Department. We will take pictures and give out cookies for Santa's visit. Then Sunday I have to cook 10 cakes for the food boxes to put together and Bob has to smoke 10 turkeys Monday for the boxes, for the department members to deliver to families this Christmas. The boxes will have a turkey, box of dressing and a mashed potatoes, a can of soup and veggies and cranbery, and a bag of dried onion. Then a cake will be added. We will wrap each box and put a bow on it and a card. That way they will have a full meal for Christmas Eve or Day or before if necessary.
Have to work at the Cottontop this evening then not again until the Friday after New Years.
Bob had two bad days and then a fair day yesterday. Starting out good today though. Hope that keeps up.
Stanley is due in next Wednesday for a weeks visit. Sure will be glad to see him.
