  • Christmas fast approaching

    2021tree After watching Hallmark movies for the season I did decided to put this little tree up. We had trouble getting it out of the box after years I guess it settled in.

    I have many more ornaments but am not physically up to it. I don't know if Wil is going to be able to re-pack these. He always had that job. I did put Scott's little mouse under there again. I also have a 3 piece Nativity up.

    On the dinning room table is Scott's little tree, no way would I put it on the bay window as Mr.Grey goes from one window to another there. No where to put the plant that is there now. Then in the living room on the stand at the end of the couch is Carissa's Charlie Brown Christmas tree.  Yesterday it was obvious Juan didn't know what that was. :-) I remember the year she got it, not the date but the fact she had it up on her mantle.  I'm so glad I found it still boxed in what was once a garage. I don't think she ever put it up again. In fact her big tree was never unboxed and put up. I didn't try to salvage it.

    Wil really showed interest when I put the red bows on. He did like the lights (battery operated) once I had them up. At the price of batteries I'm hesitant to have them on often, but lights are one of the main reasons I decided on the tree.

    So far Mr. Grey is playing with the little antenna balls under Scott's tree. Think one is missing. Scott would probably get a kick out of him playing with them. All the ornaments on that tree can't be removed. It was a desk top tree Carissa had bought for his office.

    Monday I had another type back injection, series of 3 one more to go. Yesterday I did really well, so far today not as much and I have to go buy a tile removal tool so Juan can get new tile in the hallway. Wil and Scott tiled that section and most of the house probably in 1976 when we moved in. For sticky back tile it has lasted well. Still can't figure out how the skid on my walker caught the corner of a couple.

    I also need to order some filters for the air conditioning and when I go out for that tool get them.

    Our Thanksgiving plates never came as Lydia's mom died. Millie did come in P.M. with a huge dish full.

    Sat here long enough so must move.  Thanks for visiting.

  • @fauquet: I have a severe spinal stenosis and they hope injections help as I won't go through any more surgery on my back.

    will follow your suggestion eventually. :-)

  • A suggestion, Bonnie . Why not post a picture of Mr Grey and Miss Kitty .
    And also all of the trees and the nativity scene.

    Why this injection in your back ? Arthrosis ?
    I wish to you bith the best Christmas possible .
    Love

  • @fauquet: Stray kitty Michael was just named Miss Kitty. She has adapted well front windowsill if I don't see her out back. First feeding I let her walk into the garage to avoid the orange cat getting her food. That might not be the brightest idea at 6 a.m. lol

  • Your tree is a beautiful and brings memories, Bonnie
    May this Advent time bring you strengt and courage
    I see Mr Grey keeps his place . I do not remember the stray adopted cat name ! ! :)
    Love

  • Your tree is very festive. Some ornaments on my tree remind me of people no longer with us. The holidays usually leave me with mixed feelings. But another Christmas and New Year are upon us and we may as well try and make the best of it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

  • I'm so tired I don't even remember writing the post today. I'm getting concerned about my memory. Got the scraper, got the filters, cleaned the bathroom sink and floor. Thought floor was dry, walked on it. Sponge duty. lol

  • Good to hear from you Bonnie. You are a real trooper with all you accomplish - in addition to being Wil’s caregiver. Take care of yourself too.

  • After reading your listing of things yet to do, I'm tempted to write, "Need something to do?" But...that would be cheeky. I think you have quite enough on your plate.

    Enjoy your decorations!
