My Christmas tree is up and flashing

I finally found my Christmas tree that I stored last year. I had put the ornaments and etc. in another place, but I found the ornaments that had been stored years ago. They were very pretty as I had barely remembered them. I bought new blue tinsel and I put snow on the tree. My lights are really flashing and I have not turned them off yet. We will have a Christmas parade soon. I already have several gifts. I love this holiday. I love the music and the crowded stores and all the lawn decorations. I have 11 grandchildren to buy for so this keeps me on my toes. Today is very cold...My "Lincoln" and I are enjoying the warm house and he is now asleep by my feet. I love this dog so much I wish he could talk. I will thaw my turkey out tomorrow and roast him on Thurs. morning....Well I must go make some coffee and start my day......Have a nice day everyone

Beautiful Barn

It is getting cold

I am in the processof putting away summer clothes. I have many winter sweaters, coats, scarves, and winter shoes.I always think ahead of the season and buy . The wind is nippy and the leaves are everywhere here.I have gathered flower seeds and brought in some of the still bloomin flowers. In the meantime my Lincoln and I, that is my beautiful,big ball of fluff, lasa alphso, are getting along suberbly as he is so obedient it astonishes me. I have never owned a dog this smart. The prior owner had told me this already and it is true.He sleeps at the foot of my bed and tells me when he needs to go outside. He still has a "Cat" issue but he is dealing with it. Everytime our cats walk by him he goes into a wild goose chase and the cats jump upon the top of cabinets, or under anything they can get under that he can"t crawl under. As long as thecats don't run hewill let them go by him. My daughter got a new cat yesterday, and her other cats are real snobby toward him. My other daughter has adopted a new dog named Buddy, and the neighbors, two of them, we think, have tried to poison him.They are animal haters.He was very sick and kids cried and cried about him. One good neighbor treated him very nice.We are animal lovers. In the meantime at my grandson's school, trouble is brewing..I won't say what but someone there is in a heap of trouble. They are senseless and heartless down there. I amthinking of receipes for Thanksgiving dinner, but I pretty well fix the same menu because we all agree. My car taxes will soon be due and I owe a bundle...I have already thought of Christmas and wonder where I have put all my stuff. I hope I did'nt throw it away.I think it may flurry tomorrow and become colder. It seems we are never satisfied with any weather, too hot or too cold....I must vacate this blog as I must cook dinner....Nice talking to you.

I Missed All Of You

I have had the mini-flu and boy did this bug give me a punch. I first took a sore throat, on one side only, then I was hot and weak and then my nose stopped up. I mean my nose was completely pluged off, I had no nose. I slept off and on even in the day time and felt so weak. Then those symptoms subsided and the dreaded :cough: started., cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough,..Excuse me, I have to go cough...I am better now. Where in the world did this virus come from? Heaven knows, but I am just glad it is leaving . N Now, on a lighter note, I am enjoying a new kitchen, thanks to my son, Lowe"s, and the good Lord above. It is very up-dated and modern. Everything is new and the floor is so beautiful. I needed it fixed up for a while, but my son was too booked up. So he knows he is the best carpenter in the world, in fact there is nothing he can't do. I am proud of him as he has also built my porch, created a beautiful pond outside, built a nice bi chain-link fenced lot for all our doggies, whom are Taz, Tuffy, Manson and Fiesty. Also our adjoining home has been landscaped by my son. He put a new roof on that house and he also built a mini-patio outside here. He is just like his dad in that he seems to have all this know-how build in ..He is my handsome one and only.. In the meantime I am allowing my other son-grandson to go in to town with his friends, and I tell him to please continue to be a good boy. The city police do not allow skateboards in town and these boys want to make their own rules. I see both sides of it but the law abides and the big hand of the law rules. He isa good boy. He just has that teenage energy to burn and loves the outdoors. He has some nice friends, and I just hope he is not being manipulated by anyone. He is totally against smoking, drugs and drinking. His step-dad is working with him to keep him straight because he, himself has been there, done that........In the meantime "my lasa alopsho and I are having a good ole time. He sleeps by my feet everynight and he obeys me, is completely housebroken and is a love muffin. I am giving a bubble bath today and I will brush his hair vigorously, as he tends to get his hair tangled easily. I actually am in love with this dog. The lady who gave him to me told me he was a good boy and she was absolutely right. I love, love, love, love , love, love him. His big round black nose and his underbite drives me nuts. I just want to squeeze him........but he still has this :CAT" issue. I honestly think he would chase my cats from here to Timbucktoo. I actually think he would tear off their heads. What am I to do? I have to keep him ona leach most of the time because I do love all my cats. My big love muffin, "Lincoln, :Link:for short is the ruler of the roost and he lets the cats know this. Though occasionaly he will let them eat out of his food bowl, if he is too sleepy to give a chase. Once my little kitten "Batsy", given this name because she looks like a bat, lay down quietly beside of Link and slept a few minutes before he awakened . At our civic center I saw where Willie Nelson is coming to our town soon. I would love to meet him, and I love to hear him sing..Maybe I can find me a buddy to go with me as my hubby does not care to go. I have a couple of daughters who share the things I do so maybe we will go. Well I gotta go, as it is time to get the Taurus warmed up and on the road to school.........it is nice to feel better. I thank my Lord for this and everything as all good things come from him..Have a nice Tuesday, October 14th 2008...

I LOVE MY LHASA APSO

Am I the luckiest thing or what? My daughter's good friend gave me a beautiful ckc registered lhasa apso..I had to look up his breed in order to spell the breed correctly. He is snow white with brown tipped ears and lovely groomed hair, bangs in his face..He slept by my feet last night. He is housebroken and is a real gentleman. I fell in love with him immediately..He is of medium size but he is a handful, literally. I took him out in the car. He sat very still and obeyed my commands. He is a dream dog....but my cats are wary of him. They are watchful because he jumps at them. I keep him on a little leash for now...He has a big black round nose and big brown eyes and he is F..L..U..F..F..Y. ................I named him Lincoln, "Link" for short. His other name was Bandit, but I think he looks like a Lincoln..........Gotta go and take him outdoors ....duty calls....Nite..Nite.
