Well we finally got our Christmas tree put up. In a box in the garage, we have a 9 1/2 ft. tree. in the last 8 years, we have put it up twice. Due to my love for dogs, we seem to have an untrained dog at this time of the year every year. So my husband built a wall tree. He put some wood together, covered it in chicken wire, we stuffed pre-lighted garland in it and yea! We have a Christmas tree. Once it gets decorated, it is a beautiful six foot Christmas tree.
The next major event was what I discovered on the sofa. Bella, the Belgian was laying on the sofa licking and chewing on something. I got up to see what it was and OMG, she had a dead mole. My husband has always told me to call him during the night if I needed anything. He had gone to bed early, but boy I did more than call.
It is nine days till Christmas and I haven’t bought the first gift. I do this every year and I don’t know why. Mainly, I am always at a loss as to what to buy for the members of the family.(I know I should have put this up at the top with the other Christmas stuff, but sense I don’t know how to move text around, here it is. In the wrong place.)
I know some of you may not celebrate Christmas, so have a Happy Holiday. Hope the coming New Year is successful for all writers. Not just those of Lisa Jackson’s ilk. I do love her books.
You all be good to yourselves, and we’ll talk later
