December Sue

 Here we are December 1st. We have all our Christmas decoration finished. This year, Alan and Lisa did the living room tree and the kitchen tree. The Brother really got into the spirit. Once again, Murphy did not get into anything. 

Sue is decorating her tree with the help of two gnomes.My  Lisa gnome this year was joined by The Brother Alan gnome!

Lots of sequins and beads.....
This is the last Sun Bonnet Sue monthly banner. It has been fun to create a special scene each month. What shall I do next year? Alan started Christmas wish lists for each of us.... he may be sorry! Lisa and I do shopping together for him so there will be no duplicates. A new family tradition.

I finally did mention to Alan that I fell. He had very stern words for me. I am totally forbidden to climb any step ladder except the one he gave me. He will be removing said items from my reach!.  It can be difficult to admit that I should not do this or that. That I need help. Oh and Lisa is in complete agreement with Alan..... no sympathy from her!

Our Arizona weather has finally changed. We even had rain last night. Not much, but every bit helps. Still in shorts however. Today I got out my winter slippers. Soon Lisa will be moving from her suede slippers to the Alaskan Bear slippers! 

I am still not feeling well...I keep thinking it is just a cold; maybe time for a doctor visit.Anyway, I am happy to have you visit with me today. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your friendship.

I lasted until the 5th!!!!

All Christmas decorations are packed and ready for garage storage.....Alan will do that. Always seems strange when after a month of trees and lights all is gone. Murphy did not seemed to care as he has full viewing out the front windows again. Speaking of Murphy....on Thursday January 5th....

Murphy and I started a walk. All was going well. The man in the golf cart was ahead and crossed our path. There was a woman walking toward us and then the man and his golf cart turned around and was heading toward us. Murphy was not liking this and so I decided to cross the street. The woman did also, once again to be on the same side of the street. Murphy began to bark and crossed in front of me. By now you should know what happened. If you guess a fall well you are correct. The nice man now exited the cart and started to walk toward us...Murphy barking and me down in the middle of the road. I thanked the man for wanting to help but asked that he please just ride away. The woman disappeared into the driveway up ahead. Murphy calmed while I tried to figure how to get up while hanging onto the leash. Skinned right knee bleeding onto the road and then I felt it. A patch of skin scraped off my right palm now bleeding a small puddle on the road. Finally back in the house...this occurred right in front of our house....did not get far thankfully. Bruising began immediately and I figured if I cleaned up real good, Alan would not notice. Wrong. Of course he saw the bloody knee as I hid my hand. Then I told him my tale of woe. Needless to say, I have been very achy and sore. My right wrist is very sore and now the black/blue is turning yellow. My shoulder (the fractured one still healing ) aches as does other parts of my delicate body that I did not expect.

No I am not angry with this precious pup. Look at that face. But, I will be calling back the trainer to work on a few things! Finally  I am back to my quilting. Not looking for sympathy and I am sure there would be a lecture or two. 

There will be no walks until we meet with the trainer. Glad to have you visit and listen. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. thank you for your friendship.
