Christmas Lights

We finally got the parcel due for Malaysia actually sent off!

First it was a dash to complete the Christmas lights around the house ( i wonder if it IS finished ) and then to JC Penney's to get a last minute gift for Marsha ( we're returning the one we got at Ross' ) and I had to wrap the present in the FRONT SEAT of the truck, even. A rack of shirts with snaps caught David's eye as we were walking out of Penney's but we didn't have time to look at em, poor baby.

Then, came the search for the Post Office at Buffalo Gap. We reached there with plenty of time to spare before closing time, but some misinformation from a postal employee led us to put our gifts into the "wrong boxes" and we had to take em out and re-box them! Eventually though, the parcel got stamped and put in the back together with all the parcels which were off on adventures of their own. Phew, what a relief. If the postal worker was NOT lying, the gifts should be on the other side of the earth in 6 to 10 days....with days to sit under the Christmas Tree, hopefully.

We didn't linger around in town and headed home to put up the last ( really?? ) of the lights and here's the results :
