Christmas Cheer



Thought it was time for some holiday cheer. We did manage to put up and decorate the Christmas tree yesterday and finish trimming the rest of the house. Dear Husband took this pic of our girl, DeeDee, as she lounged near the tree. I think Merlin must have been asleep somewhere warm.

We toyed with the idea of getting a smaller tree, but I am glad that we used our 7-foot one after all. It was a snap this year to put together and it certainly does make our family room look like it is ready for Christmas.

Our niece, Alicia, was discharged from the hospital yesterday and is now home. Amazingly fast, given that her surgery was last Wednesday. Please hold her in your thoughts and prayers.

Have no idea when next I will skate. I hope it MAY be this week, but as long as I have a fever, can't skate. Total bummer.

Having all this time on my hands - and little energy - I've been shopping online, mostly quilting stuff. Snagged a bargain on eBay - 100 2" color coordinated watercolor squares (100% cotton, of course; I bought two sets) for a mere $4.99 each. Can't wait to start an impressionist quilt. Bought a pre-cut quilt kit also to make a quilt for my vet's office. Very reasonable, but we'll have to wait to see the quality.

That's it for now. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season!
