Little details

So we're just about ready for the traditional family Christmas celebration. As we were tying up some loose ends last nite, Georgia says, "Greg always looks for the mistletoe. We used to have it all the time." Taking my cue, I made plans to "stop by" and pick up a bunch on my way home from grabbing a few bundles of firewood. See, we missed the Hogan woodcutting this year due to our trip to Tennessee and although we were offered wood anyway, the schedule didn't allow for bringing any home. So since time is getting short, I decided to grab a few bundles that you see as you walk into stores; you know the reject junk from sawmills. Decided to get the wood at Lowes. (that was the first stop). Then to Prairie Gardens... they've been out for 3 weeks. OK, on to Greenview... Never had any, Now Walmart.... didn't get any this year, Target.... ditto, Getting nervous. Back to Lowes... all gone. So I gave up and headed home, but stopped by the Mahomet IGA for a couple of grocery items... Yup; there by the express checkout lane. Now I remember living in the south and visiting Florida and seeing mistletoe growing as a parasite in the trees. I was about ready to e-mail my friend Mike Thomas in Mississippi to ask if he could FEDEX a batch to us overnite. But IGA, right here in Mahomet bailed us out. Soooo.... There had better be a lot of kissin' at our house these next few days. Merry Christmas to all!
