Bailey and Friends

I hope your Thanksgiving was a success:):):)

Now the reality of only 23 shopping days left until Christmas. When my daughter mentioned that I felt panic because I am so not ready for that:rolleyes::o

We had a beautiful sunny, warm day yesterday and we all felt so good but I am afraid it is short lived.

Did you finish your decorations? We bought three more bird ornaments yesterday:):):):) Birds are in again this year, they have some beauties.

How is Little Miss? Koko needs a grooming terribly. Do get a winter cut for Bailey?

Well, off I go for more drops in Zoe's eyes. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Thanksgiving was very nice. I kind of like the reversal. It's more relaxing this way.:) As it turned out, Ellen was able to leave work earlier than expected and got here about 5pm on Thanksgiving day. I was glad she was able to drive here in daylight as she had never driven herself here before.
Friday we finished decorating the tree and Saturday we cooked the turkey and feasted! It was scrumptious. Sunday Ellen and Ryan cooked us buttermilk pancakes from scratch. What a treat that was! :D:)

We didn't put the other decorations out because the cleaning person is coming tomorrow and Bob wanted to leave the place sparse so she can do her thing and then we'll get the other stuff out. So-there is still that to do, but I think that's the most fun part. We did put together a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle which wasn't as much fun as it could have been. The pieces were backed partly by wood and it made it harder to tell which ones went together. Some seemed to fit and it turned out they did not. We finally got it all together, but it's going out in the recycling.

Ellen started us with a new tradition. It's who can find the pickle ornament. She hid a pickle ornament on the tree......yes, a pickle ornament. :eek: Whoever finds it gets a little prize. :D Then that person hides it next year and on and on. I FOUND THE PICKLE!!! :o:) What fun! I won some peppermint patties, some Lindt chocolates and (drum roll, please):rolleyes: a jar of pickles! So the pickle ornament is back on the tree and will be packed away with the other ornaments to be unpacked and hidden next year.

I think someone turned the sun off. It's 34 here. We're not supposed to have this kind of weather until February. Bailey doesn't get a "winter" cut, although I think the groomer thought she'd leave her a little longer.
Gotta get to bed. I have a doc appt in Wilmington tomorrow. That's a 3 hour drive. Happy Monday Addy!
Love,
Sus

Pickle ornament is fun! My mom had us doing that when the grandkids were younger. The girls loved it until Kayla tried to eat the glass pickle:eek::eek::eek::eek: I think she was two.:rolleyes:

Oh that Does sound like fun! I've never heard of it before. Maybe I will do that this year for Christmas morning. :)

Brrr, I know, it's chilly here too. It's suppose to warm up on Wed or Thursday and then bham! back to below freezing for the highs. ACK. I don't care if I do live in Canada, I am so not into this winter stuff.
I told the hubby, if you want to keep me when we are retired, you're going to have to find some place warmer to spend winters. Makes Florida start to look good even earlier I bet.

Hope you have good weather and traffic for the drive to Wilmington.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

the mail came:D:D:D

you always know how to put a smile on my face:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

:D:D:D:):):):cool::cool::cool:

The drive to Wilmington went without incident or error....yay! The drive up was pretty....blue skies and sunny. I was waaaayy early so it was very relaxing. I even had time to stop at a specialty store to buy some lingerie. Ride back was gray, but uneventful. I ran a couple of errands. It shot my whole day, but it was a nice deviation.

I have a busy day tomorrow so I'm thinking I'll just head off to bed and get a good night's sleep. Novel idea, don't you think? I straightened out a couple of ankle biters by phone on the way up, so it was kind of productive anyway. I'm feeling like I lost control of my desk and the paperwork. I've only 29 or 30 days until we leave for FL and there is a ton of stuff to clear off before I can get away. And, yes, Sharlene.....with all this February type cold weather, I'm ready to go back already. I just don't want to miss the Christmas fun.

Night, ladies! Stay warm!!
Hugs and love,
Sus/an

PS-pickle is plastic. Wouldn't taste very good!

then I am off to find a plastic pickle:D:D:D:D:D

Well, I guess you need to send me the pink bubble wrap because Sunday night I tripped over a gutter entension bauried in the snow and I was carrying Zoe so could not stop the fall, twisted my body to protect her, lettting her go when I got closer to the ground and subsequently took the full force of the fall on my shoulder. I cant lift my arm now:rolleyes: Hopefully nothing is torn but it is day two and no better after icing it, putting arm in sling, taking advil.

Let me know if you have any good advice;););)

Always something in Addy land.

Hope everything is good in Susan land:):):):):):)

ADDDYYYY!!!! Woman! Susan, get the bubble wrap!! Lots of it!!! We'll need to wrap Addy and Zoe for each trip outside. hmmm, bubble wrap sling too..I am seeing the possibilities. :)

Seriously Addy, do you think you should get a doc to check it out?
