So good to see you posting. Hope you are starting to feel better. Prayers are going from our home to yours for a better tomorrow. Don’t worry about the decorations, just work on feeling better ;and only do what you can.

I am looking at foam mattresses in case hubby decides to fall out of bed again. ‘Tomorrow I will be measuring the opening between floor and bottom rail to the bed to see if I can do better than a 4″ mattress. Seems that the only bed that doesn’t hold him is the one in this house. This is the only mattress that has a pillow top and I wondeer if that has something to do with this. I may bring the nightstands a bit closer to the bed to see if that will help. Looks like the physical therapy will begin Monday. Hoping he will be able to stand and walk within a couple of weeks. What a gift that would be. Here is hoping that you have a beautiful week and then some. Kudo’s to your “prince charming.”

Went to use the dishwasher and garbage disposal last night and found that for some reason they are not working. Funny they were working just fine last week, but wonder if any of the workers that were here happened to unplug them while working under the sink in order to check the wiring and plumbing and may have put them in the wrong receptacles. The electrician will be here in the AM. The plumber will call on the faucets for the tub and shower. Made an appointment for the van on the maintenance issues. That will be next week. Handy person was a no show on repairing the metal bed so that the mattress will fit.

I stayed later than I usually do waiting for the handy person. No phone call, no nothing. By the time I got to the rehab found that hubby did not eat his entire dinner. He said it was not only awful but dreafful. I wanted to order out or to drive to Culver’s. He turned me down. Tomorrow will definitely make a stop at the Farmer’s Market and will bring a little something for both of us. Also, tomorrow is the first get together at the rehab for Christmas. They have two different times. The first one is at 1 pm and the 2nd one is at 4 pm. I do not think I will make the 1 pm. Will opt for the 2nd choice.

Hubby is doing OK, though today he wasn’t quite himself. Voice was not as robust and he seemed to be coughing a bit more. I will pass this info on to the Head nurse in the AM. Hope you four have a great evening. I’m getting a kick out of Poppy. He won’t let you go out of sight. Guess he doesn’t trust you after leaving him at home for a week. Not surprised LOL.

Sheba, Now you can start the new year off right! Glad you are feeling at ease now.
Wouldn’t it be fun to wear a dress like that to a party? The dresses are so creative and I still think Ms. Heidi could do a fun pin and even add on to the pin items, or ability to change out the skirts.
Anyways, I can’t possibly buy much more jewelry. Just an occasional piece.
Working from does have some advantages. My son has to go into work as he is management, but he also ends up doing extra work from home.
Estes Park looks scenic. Great you have family there and they are welcoming. Your daughters having cars when they visit is great.

@taci,

I have many HD Pins but nothing like the Christmas Tree Dresses. Hmm… 😎

@xango,

I am almost done and I am not putting up as much. Xango like you said what goes up must
come down and very little makes me happy these day I think good health and good family
makes the Holiday special. The things they look pretty but I go to the extreme and I am not
doing that this year. 😎😉

Hey take it easy and thank you for posting I love doing the Christmas Tree Dresses you don’t
wear them you decorate them. 🎈

My Favorite Things
Song – Julie Andrews

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
Song by Brenda Lee

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie
And we’ll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin’ merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin’ merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
