a little bit of christmas



Since we've got grandchillins coming this week-end I quickly
put up a few lights and my little fake Christmas tree.
I'd have to say lights are my favorite thing
at Christmas, their so magical. Kinda like
watching a fire....mesmerizing.

Next week before we leave for Portland sadly everything
comes down as we start some renovations. We've been
packing Grandma up(I use the term we loosely as I
haven't done anything). Were not kicking her out
just redoing the plumbing. She'll be going over the
mountains to be with her other children.

My GP finally figured out where all of my pain has been
coming from.I kept telling the dr. I felt like I
had a broken rib....didn't feel like anyone
was listening....you know that feeling.
So, now I'm going to a chiropractor to get my
rib cage back in kilter . Pain is better. It'll be
a slow process but hope is always good!

Enjoy this last week end before Christmas.

    I'm sure your grandchillins will love the lights - I know our grandson finds ours magical, his face is a delight to watch.

    I hope the chiropractor is able to help you - it probably helps knowing that someone is taking it seriously.

    Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Not to worry, everything will be fixed and better when you return.

    Merry Christmas Linda.

    I wish you a pain free Christmas Linda. And I do hope your plumber isn't as big an idiot as mine. After he'd gone, recently, I had to dig up all the outside (kitchen) pipes, and replace them. Plumbers eh!

    Linda - I'm so glad you're feeling a bit better and manage to get someone to listen at last.
    have a special Christmas in Portland.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
