Last night the Christmas parade went rather well. It was cooooooold, but FUN.  Our last Christmas parade this year will be next weekend.  I'm looking forward to it. 
 This morning I went outside to help my son feed our hounds and twisted my knee.  It's swelled up pretty bad and I can't completely straighten it.  It's really not unusual for that to happen to me--I have had knee trouble since I was in junior high school.  They pop out of socket regularly and take awhile to get back to 'normal'.  So, I guess I'll be spending this morning on the couch with ice on it instead of going to church.  Bummer...  In the meantime, I did manage to go get my Sunday papers bf my incident so I will be clipping coupons while I rest. (YEEHAW!!!)  I'm also going to give the kiddos a chore list and have the boys bring me baskets of clothes to fold. This day could turn out to be interesting . . .
