Christmastime

 It's been a lovely couple of days.  Friends over for chili and cards and granddaughter over to spend the night. We have given her Don's old room and she is so excited. She''s been working on it all day and it really looks cute.

 I woke up this morning at 8:30 and thought it was Sunday and I had to be at church in 30 minutes. The fear I felt was real, lol. Luckily, today is Saturday! I cannot keep up with the days of the week. I just hope my alarm works tomorrow morning when I do have to be at church. 

I love the livingroom when it's all dressed up in it's Christmas finery. So festive and pretty.


Arie likes to lay by the fire, soaking in the warmth. She is such a funny dog. Everything scares her. The fireplace smoked a little when we were first starting the fire and she freaked out and tried to hide. I feel sorry for her because I know she doesn't understand. But once the smoking stops she takes her place in front of the fire. 


I hope you're having some Christmastime fun. Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Your tree is gorgeous! And I like the lights around the fireplace. Since we are both retired, we have trouble knowing what day of the week it is, too.

  2. The above comment is me, Ginny. Don't know why Blogger sometimes makes me anonymous.

  4. Hello,
    Your Christmas tree and mantle looks pretty. Arie is a beautiful dog, is it a black lab? I set my phone alarm to wake me and one later to wake hubby.
    Happy Sunday, have a great day and happy week ahead.
