Christmasy December Days....

The Christmas season is upon us!
 

Tuesday Brenda and I went to Decorator's Warehouse and it was amazing!!


It's a great to get inspiration and decorating ideas!
Even the ceilings are decorated!


We asked a guy who was taking pics if he would take ours with my phone.
He was happy to do it and then a lady asked him if he would like HER to take the pic so he could be IN IT! We all laughed when he told her we were just strangers!

We had lunch at Campo Verde and lingered long at the table just visiting.
I meant to come home and get to work BUT I was tired and felt like I was coming down with allergies...


So I watched Die Hard for the first time!


I even started Die Hard 2 before going to bed.

Wednesday I worked in the sewing room right up to 4:00 when I stopped to get ready for the Bell Grand Girls' Winter Concert!


Look how beautiful they are!


Amber and Mike sat up on the top row of the bleachers to get a better view while Louis Dean and I sat in chairs on the gymnasium floor. 


Amber said she had fun watching US enjoy the concert!


They played so well!!!!


He was excited to visit with the orchestra conductor!
That made his day!


I was so happy we were able to go!

Thursday I had an appointment with my eye doctor and was told I would need to see a specialist for my cataracts and macular degeneration. I had alreaady made an appointment for January so I was good to go.


I went over to see Kimmy and Aunt Tommie and her sweet dog, Baxter!
Since I was out and about I did several errands - as in Aldi and Walgreens and a thrift store!!


That was fun!!!







So many treasures!!


Louis Dean has been staying busy in his room.
I love that he has that special place to putter around and sort and organize his 'stuff!'


I have been working in the sewing room and will finish it today.
The middle of December and I am still not finished with my decorating!

I am going so much slower than usuall  due to the head cold I have - I take lots of rest breaks and am drinking a good amount of water. It's not often that I am sick and I am grateful for that.
I just hope I don't share this cold with Louis Dean!


"Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee:
Because he trusts in Thee."
Isaiah 26:3

Linda, I enjoy coming to your house, I know it's thru pictures and your journal but I feel like it's visiting family. I am amazed at how grown the quads are becoming. Not babies any more. Makes me smile when I see how well you and LD look. Love you so much, blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
p.s. I have had some time with my oldest daughter this week , so I gave her the extra card you had sent. She loves it.

I love seeing your decorating and also the place you and Brenda went to shop! That looks like a fun place! So nice of that man "Stranger" (LOL) to take your picture. How wonderful that you and LD both got to go to the girls' music concert! I love the pictures Amber took of you and LD watching the concert. I can see you were both having a great time! Those are priceless pictures. Looks like you've had a busy week. I do hope your cold goes away and that LD doesn't get it too. Colds are NO fun! Take care and take time to rest!! I think you work harder than anyone I know at our age!! Blessings to you dear friend. I love the Santa card you sent.
