CHRISTMAS GAME, TOY AND FAMILY

HAD TO TELL HIM WHAT ROOM! BUT HE FOUND  "ELI THE ELF"



TO PUT A LITTLE FUN INTO OUR SAD CHRISTMAS SEASON, MY HUSBAND AND I DID THE ELF ON THE SHELF FOR EACH OTHER!

HE HID THE SECOND TIME

I FOUND!

"YOU HAVE SO MUCH STUFF EVERYWHERE", HE SAID, "TELL ME WHEN I'M HOT OR COLD"

 SEE WHAT HE MEANS!  BUT HE MADE IT!

HE WENT FOR MY CHAIR IN THE FRONT ROOM THIS TIME!

I SPIED!

MY FUNNY HUSBAND ACCUSED ME OF TAKING THE ELF'S CLOTHES OFF THIS TIME!

THEY DO LOOK SIMILAR!

"WONT NEED TO TELL YOU WHAT ROOM THIS TIME"  HE SAID "YOU'LL JUST RUN INTO HIM!"

"LOOK WHO'S BEEN SLEEPING IN MY BED!"
WE THOUGH TASHA WOULD LIKE A NEW TOY THIS YEAR, BUT NO!!
SHE SAID PLEASE NO SQUEAKY CHICKENS JUST A NICE SOFT TOWEL THANK YOU!

WE GOT TO SPEND SOME TIME CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON WITH OUR SON PAUL AND  TRACEE

WE TREASURE THESE TIMES AS HE'S THE ONLY ONE WE HAVE LEFT!  HOPE YOU HAVE A HEALTH AND HAPPY 2015! BLESSING ON YOU FRIENDS!

A VISIT TO SISTER JUDY'S HOUSE AT CHRISTMASTIME.

TO CHEER JUDY UP WE WENT SHOPPING AT HOBBY LOBBY FOR A CHRISTMAS DOOR DECORATION.

IT IS SUITABLE TO LEAVE UP ALL WINTER.

I FOUND SOME POINSETTIAS IN HER CLOSET AND STUCK THEM IN THE CROCK. CHRISTMAS!

FOUND THIS PRECIOUS LITTLE GOLD TREE  ON  SALE FOR HALF PRICE $5.00! YEAH!

SISTER JUDY TURNS IT ON EVERY MORNING AND ENJOYS HER SPECIALTY COFFEE WHILE LOOKING AT IT AND LISTENING TO  CHRISTMAS MUSIC. IT'S STILL DARK OUTSIDE!

NORMALLY THERE IS LIVE GREENERY AND DECORATIONS AND  CHRISTMAS PILLOWS BUT THIS YEAR JUST ARTIFICIAL GREENERY

AND THIS IS WHY. HER HUSBAND BOB HAS BEEN VERY SICK AND IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A MONTH. PICTURED HERE IS HER GREAT GRANDSON RYDER IN HIS DOCTOR GARB  LISTENING TO  HIS GRANDPA'S  HEART?

DOCTOR RYDER'S  DIAGNOSIS - - - SICK!

THE FAMILY DECIDED TO BE TOGETHER WE WOULD EAT THANKSGIVING DINNER AT A GOLDEN CORRAL CLOSE TO THE HOSPITAL. SO AT 11:00 AM IN LINE THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE!  IT WAS VERY COLD TOO!
 .
BUT WE GOT A PLACE TO SIT TOGETHER EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TO VISIT OVER THE BACK OF THE BOOTHS!

WE WON'T FORGET THIS UNUSUAL THANKSGIVING!

I TOOK A BREAK ONE DAY AND VISITED ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES, BARNES & NOBLE WHICH WAS PRACTICALLY NEXT DOOR.  GOT A YUMMY COFFEE AND LOOKED AT BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS  ISSUES!


OOPS!

JUDY CHANGES THE DRESS FOR THE SEASONS! THE TOP BIRD HOUSE HAS BEEN CHANGED THIS PAST WEEK TO A LIGHTED CHRISTMAS HOUSE!

HUSBAND MAURICE HAS BEEN CARING FOR THEIR DOG VICTORIA DOWN AT THE FARM ALONG WITH OUT DOG TASHA TILL THINGS CALM DOWN . BOB IS NOW HOME WITH HOSPICE COMING IN DAILY.  I HAVE BEEN STAYING WITH JUDY A LOT THRU ALL OF THIS

ONCE VICTORIA GOT OVER BEING FRIGHTENED OF THE BED SHE HAD LOADS OF KISSES FOR HER DADDY!
.

THE PICTURE SAYS IT ALL!

THEN BACK TO THE FARM TO STAY WITH TASHA AND MAURICE. AS VICTORIA HAD JUST COME FROM THE GROOMERS AND SPORTED A CHRISTMAS BANDANA I HAD TO CUT OUT A FAST ONE FOR TASHA TOO! MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS AND BLESSINGS ON YOU!
