Got sick again. Been so busy the past few days that I had fever last night accompanied by muscle pains, sore throat and that feeling of being so helpless and sleepy. Son reported for work early this morning and I went back to bed when he left. I was surprised when he came back two hours later carrying a large bag of Pan de Manila pandesal, two soup pack and some medicines for headache and fever. He said he filed a leave of absence so he could take care of me. So sweet, I was touched. We did our groceries for Christmas the other day after which he asked me to accompany him to the appliance section of the store. Gosh, he bought me additional birthday gift, an AC/DC rechargeable AM/FM radio with LED light. He said I could use it for gardening since it is so handy to carry around. We had a good laugh while he pointed out the advantage of having one (although I have an old radio that I still use to listen to news). We repainted our gates and did some minor works at the house with the help of a neighbor.
And it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, it’s actually 29 days to go. Who’s counting? I am. I took shots of our street a few minutes ago with the Christmas lights on, it is so beautiful. It is the only street in our village that has uniform Christmas decoration. We have permanent lamp posts in every house here and our street coordinator had them all decorated with lights and lanterns.

What a thoughtful young man your son must be. Hope you’re on the mend (Aussie saying meaning I hope you are feeling better) again now!

Thank you so much for the nomination Michelle but I am afraid I won’t be able to forward it to other deserving bloggers. I don’t have much time to stay online for long since these are busy days for me. Shame on me, I have also received several nominations before, I just acknowledged their efforts that they appreciate what I post here.
I am glad to know that you enjoy reading my posts although at times they are a bit muddled. I would love to visit the links you have included in the Liebster Award, thanks again.
