It's begining to Look Like christmas

    We had some snow, about 1 inch, which lasted for 2 days and is all gone but continuing with rain. If the temp falls too much lower it will be snow again. But I'm still able to drive myself to where I need to be going. I definitely wore myself out yesterday. First I went to Safeway got most of the items on my list but it seems that Safeway doesn't stock any of the "Fresh" dog food that needs refrigeration. So I brought everything home and lugged it up to the house and into the kitchen. I put the cold stuff into the frig and put the rest on the counter. Then it was back into the car with my little dog and another ride to the Albertson's store for her dog food. She doesn't like the kibble type food so I feed her fresh cooked meats and veggies from the Fresh Pet company. A little more expensive but if she eats it I'm happy. Maybe she'll gain a pound or two. Right now she's at 4lbs 9ozs. That's a little dog.

  I so wanted a White tree this year and on impulse picked one up. I have pretty high ceilings and the Angel on the top has only 2 inches clearance. I can't do a whole lot of standing and walking around but I have gotten most of the tree decorations on the tree. A few more to go but it must wait for Grand-son-in-law to come down. He's over 6 ft so his arm can reach the top two or three sections of the tree. This is a 7.5 foot White Kennedy Fir, (whatever a Kennedy fir is). It's very pretty!
 
  I have a very large Wreath to put on the wall behind my new TV. My friends bought me a 43 inch TV in exchange for a very large amount of Survival/camping food and gear that I had been collecting. With my health the way it is, I don't need to prepare for surviving in the woods, I'm going to be in an Assisted Living community probably halfway through the year.  Oh, the wreath is from my days in a Red Hat Society. It's red and purple and I love it. I might even circle some of my pretty Red hats around it.

 
   I have a very large Red Bow for the front door and maybe we'll wrap some garland around the pillars of the porch. I even have an extra string of lights to wind in with the green garland.

  I have a doctor appt. this week with 2 Geriatric specialists, (one nurse and one doctor). It's easy to figure out...80 years old, 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren is enough to make anyone grow old. I'll have to admit the Asbestos in the lungs isn't helping anything. The barracks I lived in for 2+ years had not had Asbestos Abatement done on them so it was all around the water pipes and in the floor tiles which I had the fun of running a very large floor polisher on. I loved that part. Made my arms a little stronger to handle that big monstrosity. That was back in 1960 thru 1962.

  I've taken some pictures of my tree so far so I will put them here. My neighbor across the street loves the tree. It sits in a corner of the living room which has windows on both sides of the corner of the room. But the tree is so tall it sort of doesn't fit in one picture unless I'm clear across the room to take it. But you will get the idea. I took this picture from my step stool so I was higher to get a better shot.

 Lovely Angel that I made 5 years ago and she still holds on for another couple of years.

This is my Red hat wreath. will have more pictures when the kids come down from 

Tri-Cities thist Wed. I believe it will be.

It looks sort of strange to have fireplace with Oxygen bottles stashed right in front of it. The fireplace unit is fake, lights only.

  Have a great week, friends and enjoy getting the seasonal things taken care of. Ham for Christmas dinner with sweet potatoes and green bean salad! Yummm!
