December! Just a week from Christmas Day! The busiest time of the year! Putting up the Christmas Tree. Decorating the house, and the tree. Stringing the outdoor lights. Writing the Christmas cards, wrapping the gifts. Standing in line at the post office. Standing in line at the stores. The shopping, the cooking, Christmas parties, the Christmas programs at school and at church. Don’t for get the ones on TV. The weather, snow, rain, icy roads, tornadoes, flooding, traffic, and delays. A busy time of the year.
Here, it is about the same. There doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to get done all the things I want do accomplish besides doing all the necessary things that have to be done. I know I had more time to do things when I was working then I do now. Needless to say, it has been a busy month.
The 7th, Jerry and I went to Enterprise Kansas to see my son, Joseph. It was nice seeing him and visiting for a bit. We were able to have lunch with him and that was special. The nursing home is very nice, neat and clean. All there were nice and friendly. Enterprise appear to be an old town as the buildings were mostly older,probably built in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. The nursing home is older also, but well kept up. The trip was a fast one. We left here on Thursday afternoon an was back here on Saturday afternoon. I think the trip was 1, 728 miles. I would like to go that route again and stop and site see as we passes some interesting places. We rushed home as we wanted to beat the storm. We did but not by much.
I have done the Christmas cards, and Tina did most of the decorating. The house looks nice and very festive. This year, when we put it all away we are going to do it in totes (tubs) that have red lids so we will know it is Christmas. This time we had to open everything to see what was in it. Next year we will have more room as the back rooms will be done. I am eager for that. All back there should be completed by February 1st.
Saturday evening Jerry treated Tammy, Dottie, Tina and I to the concert, Pentrtonix. It was so good. I have seen them on TV and heard them on the radio, and Cd’s so was a wonderful treat to see them in person. They are so talented. They interacted with the audience which was wonderful. Such fun.
Jerry and Tammy are fostering another Pyrenees puppy, (8 months) named Sarge. He is beautiful! he gets along well with the other four, playful, calm, friendly and a big teddy bear. He requires a fenced in yard where he has room to run and play. He needs a home where he will get some attention, some training and be loved and a member of the family. Who ever gives him a home will have a wonderful and loyal pet, and guard dog. We don’t have a fenced in yard. If interested, please let me know.
