December 9

How are you all this fine December morning? We have beautiful blue skies today, but our first snowfall is expected tomorrow. Right now they are saying only an inch or so. I have no plans to go anywhere. I had barely gotten dressed this morning when we had a knock on the door. Dennis‘s cousin and her husband live right across the street from us and Scott was asking if Dennis could help him put together a Santa gift this morning. Dennis was in the middle of a conference call, so I went over and helped him do that. Then it was back home to cut up celery and wash grapes and other produce that I bought at the store. I barely made it back into the house when there was a knock on the door and the drywaller had arrived! Today is supposed to be the drywaller, a man who’s going to cut two holes in our roof for the bathroom vents, and the general contractor to check up on all the work.  As my mom used to say it’s like Grand Central Station here!

Mandy said that Piper woke up at three this morning and didn’t sleep well after that at all. It was touch and go on whether she would go to school today, but she really wanted to go, so off she went. I’ll be interested to see if she makes it through the entire day. Those shots are no joke are they? I sure hope she’s feeling better.

And with no further ado, here is my advent sock contents this morning along with a little 3 1/2 inch snowman. It’s the last one of the batch that I got a few weeks ago from Facebook.

Another photo of my two favorite puppies. I have put together a car seat for Zoey between the two front seats. It’s a black buffalo check basket I got on clearance from Hobby lobby. I put a towel in the bottom and a soft blanket on top of the towel. Her car seatbelt fastens to the headrest and then to her harness. It works great. She can curl up and go to sleep if she wants or she can sit up and look out the window and it puts it puts her at our head level. She is also safely buckled in if we have to stop quickly and she also can’t jump out. You can see me a little bit on the left. Both of the puppies fit in it and they love to be together. Sorry the pictures a little blurry. We were driving down the interstate and it was a bit bumpy.

I think I’ve already shown you a picture of our lit up Christmas tree but I couldn’t resist taking another one last night just before going to bed. I think it’s very pretty. The two pillows on the floor are from the sofa. Piper likes to lay down there under the tree and look at the ornaments from the bottom up!

Here is another one of my pillow covers from Amazon. I think it’s my favorite. I just love the red trucks with the Christmas trees!

Praying that you all have a wonderful day today and Lord willing, I’ll be back again tomorrow.

Blessings and love,

Betsy
