JoAnn had a birthday.They invited me...nice to get OUT!
Hat's I made for CHRISTMAS FOR ALL! That's before my hand surgery.
I was able too hand out the envelops , and made the mistake of saying I took a swing at my husband and missed. The lady then said her husband broke her arm, so she left him! I didn't use that story again! To much video game playing! YA that's a safe story! Could that be TRUE?

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I have nothing better to do so... going to up date my blog

DEC 10th I had hand surgery done . It's not been a fun week oh wait not even been a week how sad. I'm to go back Dec 23rd to get stitches out, then another week for the pin to come out. Ron is taking great care of me.....and my friend Linda, she here now cleaning for me..mopping my floors, and cleaning my kitchen and bathroom...best gift....she washed my hair!!! What a friend! I'm finding it hard to do things with one hand, opening lunch meat packages, pickles, cutting bread, just to name a few,and forget about opening a bag of CHIPS! I just had to have a strong drink last night, so I was going to have a nice slushy PEPSI AND how was I to open IT! After much thought I used my FEET! Boy did I need that drink.

I have my hand bandaged up to the elbow and I'm to keep it elevated for 2 weeks, not using it for anything. They did a carpal tunnel and removed a bone on my thumb. Which has a pin in it that will be removed in 3 weeks.

So that's what's going on.

I'm just so THANKFUL for Ron's help, and for Linda . Also need to thank my families for the phone calls and e mail.... Looking forward to having Bob and Cathy here for Christmas. Help during the days......love you ALL!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Dec. 5th. Just got home from the Kootenai Fire Dist. Christmas party. Our First party of December. And I didn't have to COOK... THAT's the best part. Worst......... No Grandkids to go with us. We miss that. Not sure Where the time has gone. Doesn't seem that long ago , we were taking our little family to the fire station for the party. NOW we go to the Fair Grounds cause the station won't hold everyone. Not a very big turn out. Plenty of food. LOTS of meat and salads left over. LOTS OF MEAT.... Crazy how much they had.

I'm busy trying to get everything done by the 9th of Dec. My Christmas cards are out, baking is done, sewing is Done. WELL I'm still doing kitchen towels... I keep finding more. BUT I Only have 20 left, that I've made. I've lost count.! Grandma Gordon took some off my hands. How thoughtful.

Ron is working on my Fabric Cabinet. I'm so excited. Will be nice having that in my sewing room. HOPEFULLY it will hold All my fabric that is in tubs. What don't go in.... go to Jen, Cathy, or Monika's place. I KNOW they want it. Jared did say their will be a BIG Fight when I die as to who Gets my Fabric!

I do love the Christmas Season. Just seems to come earlier every year. I will miss not having my kids home for the Holiday. We will have Bob and Cathy, BUT We'll be talking to ALL OUR KIDS RIGHT!

Craving of Our BIG Turkey..... Duncan was able to enjoy a few turkey dinners too.LOTS of food for just 3 people. NO one went hungry that's for sure.

Santa comes to Town .... Where's the Fire TRUCK???
HELLO............ Santa. YES I've been Very GOOD! Just don't asked RON!
I'm Surprise Ron is wearing an Santa Hat! Looking Good Don't you think!
Party is over and Time to clean up...

Happy Thanksgiving.... So much to be thankful for. We had a Wonderful trip to Texas and then on to Florida . So hard to come back to COLD IDAHO. Great weather... in the 70's in Houston, and 80's for Florida.

We were on a dead run the whole time. Something every day.

Jaiden was a Very busy little boy. Couldn't help but watched him in aye . He'll be 2 Dec 20th. Can you Believe it. Very active, and learning more every day. He knows how to climb up the ladder to go down the slide All by himself. SO CUTE

We enjoyed DisneyLand. BUT its a Young person place. Ron and I were Wore out keeping up with Bob and Cathy. Lots of Rides, and Food. Had a ball.

I still can't believe I went on the Manta Coaster Ride....twice! Good times.
