WooHoo! DSL FRIDAY!!!

This has been me for way too long! My dog and cat are none too pleased over my return to the computer but I'm ecstatic! I have missed blogging more than I had anticipated because I've missed my friend's and clubs. I read blogs when my dial-up allows but I refuse to comment to one friend if I can't comment to all my friend's. It's just not me and how my brain works. Friday I will have choices in my day once again. Dave does most everything around here plus always manages to find a new project to do...God love him! I LOVE my new home more each day but my list of things to do is dwindling.
Dave has not started his new job yet due to a hold up on his fingerprint return. He worked for the government in his last job and instead of speeding things up it slowed them way down. He's loving the delay. ;)

We have finished our decorating for the holidays and Dave got his "special tree." Last year I collected stuff on Ebay to give him his childhood tree. I sent him out to get the tree so I would not be tempted to add my two cents and he would get what HE wanted. He came home with a tree that he had to cut 5ft off of to fit in the room...men!

Last year I got tin light reflectors and glass icicles. We added bubble lights that have water in them that bubbles, vintage ornaments, our ornaments and the dreaded TINSEL. It is soooo cool looking in person.


Wider shot.

Dave loves lots of lights! The real deer keep trying to hook up with Bucky, knocking him over, so he's tied down now.

TK came for Thanksgiving and helped grampy with the lights. We had a wonderful time!

White Christmas was on TV to bring on the holiday spirit. TK and Dave cut a rug. ;)
BIG FAT HUGS TO YOU ALL!

Tammy, a childhood tree! That is so sweet and sentimental. Don adores Christmas and from Halloween onward, it's out with the decorations one event after the other - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. I stay out of his way so he can have his fun. I lots of it away. Then we reset the house after New Years.

I love the picture of TK with the deer--could he be any sweeter?!

A toast to your new home, it is lovely. Tell Dave I love the lights and his Charlie Brown Christmas tree, my favorite kind.

It is sooooooo good to have you back, along with TK and the family.

Love and hugs,

Oh, I missed you Tammy (and sent an email earlier). The tree looks fabulous and those photos are adorable, particularly of TK and Dave. As for the fingerprint issue, go figure! :) xoxox

Hurrah for DSL! Hurrah for you! I've been checking every day....the new place look great, you sound great, and yes, we all missed you like heck! I'm so very glad you are back....

We have another 7 or 8 inches of snow this morning. It snowed all night (I know, because I think I was up all night). Kaito came to spend the night, and the boys were up watching videos until 11:30. Then my son's car was locked in the garage at work, so he had to be picked up at 12:30. Then my back started...well, you get the idea. :o)

Christmas shopping today. You have a good one!

Hi,

Gotta love tinsel...especially the brown kind.

Hugs and smooches,

Hi Tammy! This is Sara from Utah. I'm so looking forward to meeting you and your family over Christmas. I've heard many great things about you all from Patrick. Speaking of your "special" brother, he has asked me to forward on a message to you via your blog. He said he begrudgingly accepts that he lost the Raiders-Packers bet with Dave and said he will happily pay the $10 dollars...in pennies! :o) I can't argue with him as I am a long-time, faithful fan of the Minnesota Vikings and we have suffered a few times at the hands of Favre and his crew. Have a good week!

Hi Tammy,

Your Christmas tree looks wonderful - it's good that Dave got his tree and has a bit more time before he starts his new job.

TK is adorable!!

The wider shot does convey that the tree is very beautiful.
