Day 12 of the 12 Days of Christmas

Cowboy boots, Two are Bob's, Three are mine and the others are a part of my collection. 

Thank you for putting up with my yearly event.  I always love doing it. 

Bob and I went into Spokane on a string of errands.  We both needed things to finish things we are making.  Also got Bob a jug of chocolate milk.  He makes himself chocolate milkshakes with it.  We found everything we needed for our crafts but I forgot hairspray.  Never can get everything, even when I have a list. 

I think it hit 30 today.  Snow and freezing rain is predicted.  I don't mind the snow so much but I hate freezing rain.

Life is busy. 

Blessings,



Day 11 of the 12 Days of Christmas

12 candle stick holders.  Most of them were from my father in law.  He collected them for many years.

I tried all evening yesterday to get this posted but nothing worked.  I will load the last one in a little while.

The 10th day of Christmas

10 Christmas Tree Ornaments

I am finally getting them on the tree.  The tree came with lights and they look pretty.  I had looked and looked for the box of ornaments.  Bob found them today at the bottom in the closet.  I was glad to find them.  There are some treasures of ornaments in that box.  One is one I made when I was in first grade.

It has turned into a heat wave.  It was 23 today.  20 degrees higher in just a few days.  We are predicted snow but it has not arrived yet.  Can't say I mind that.

I got my sisters and her grandchildren box got mailed today.  I found out why last year's box was a month late.  Somehow I had gotten the zip code wrong and instead of going to Tennessee it went to Florida.  I was very frustrated and said I would not use the post office this year.  I didn't but the UPS lady found my error.  So it was not the Post Office's fault.  I need to apologize for the ugly things I said about them.

So tonight I am wrapping gifts.  My least favorite part but must be done.  I use boxes as much as possible.

My foot was much better this morning and got some good shoes on my feet.  I put on my New Balance walking shoes.  It helped some but by the time I got home from my trip to the store my foot was swelling and hurt so back to my Crocs for the rest of the day.   It is recovering but not fast enough to suit me. 

Blessings,

On the Ninth Day of Christmas

Nine Santa Clauses

I have collected them a long time.  this is a drop in the bucker of what I have. 

I think we are having a heat wave.  It got to 20 today.  Don't want to put away my winter clothes though.  Maybe by the weekend I can ride.  Hope so.  But I can assure you I will get on her outside of the round pen.

Had a wonderful conversation with my longtime friend Louise who lives in Denton Texas.  After watching the news and seeing what things are like in Dallas I was worried about her.  Denton is just outside of Dallas.  She is fine though and staying indoors because it so icy.  It was so good to talk to her.  We have been friends since we were 5 years old. 

I just about got 90% of my shopping done today.  Now I have to get my sisters box in the mail tomorrow though.  I am slow.  I will send it UPS.  Now come the hard part and that is wrapping it all.  I am not a good gift wrapper upper.  I would just leave them in the plastic sacks. 

Blessings,

Day 8 of the 12 Days of Christmas

Eight of my hats.  I wear them all at times.  Even the Cougar hat when its cold. Its funny, yes but I love it.

I had a good day.  After church I had to hurry out to my friend Vicki's and hopped in her cousin Claudia's car and we went to our Promise Stitching quilting Christmas Party and our own little quilt show.  It is always fun.  So many lovely quilts. 

When I came home I got to watch the last minute of the Seahawks game and moan that they lost.  There are three more game and they will win them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I took a nap, ate a bowl of soup and now its for an evening of TV and relaxing and probably early to bed.

Blessings

Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas

7 Little cuddly stuffed horses.  Just 7 of many.  I have to fight Pistol for some when she figures out how to get to them.

It is bitter cold here.  At ll:00 AM it is 8 degrees and the wind is blowing.  Makes it so bitter.  Bob is over trying to get Katie's water going.  It froze in the pump house.  I think they should have left some water running but I don't know.  They are looking for a house to buy so I imagine they will be moving by spring. 

We are boing to a Christmas Party this evening over in Dalton Gardens, Idaho.  Hope the roads stay clear.

See you all tomorrow,

Blessings
