Decorated for Christmas

On Friday I decided to get out the Christmas decorations and set up the tree. When in the motor home, one is limited to what you can store for decorations, so after getting tree up and what I had for decorations, I made a trip to the dollar store to get a few more items. We were told, the street we are on competes for best street at Christmas, no pressure there. We have a car port out front so I got 3 stands of the icicle lights to hang there. The hooks were already there, so it was quite easy. Next I wrapped colored lights around the poles on each side along with a large red bow. I had some snowflake lights and a string to go on front of mobile home as well as a Christmas Tree I had crocheted years ago. I must say it does look pretty good. With the storage I have...........who knows, I may be able to add more next year. I put the tree under the big mirror in living room and outlined the mirror with lighted green garland. Then got two nice holders for the stockings and set them on shelf and presto, done.

The park where our motor home is still sitting had their yard sales yesterday..............so we took over everything we had from this place that we didn't want. The sale is only in morning, but we got rid of some things and made $40, not too bad, considering it wasn't even our stuff. We wanted to sell it cheep to get rid and not have to move it back here.

I decided it was time to give Keota a hair cut...............he hasn't had one since leaving Iowa. Come to think of it, neither have I. When I cut his hair I do it in at least two different settings and we both get tired and grumpy. I have to finish up today. I got his back, belly and face done, but his legs, feet and back end are still long. He looks kind of funny right now.

Tomorrow is the day I am going to try a few park activities. In the morning I am going to check out and see what the computer club is all about. They have a beginners and regular meeting. I think I am past the beginners, so will try the regular one. Who knows, I may get there and decided they are all way beyond me and end up at the beginners club. The afternoon, I am going to the Bentsen Grove Auxiliary, there I will work with the quilts for the needy. I did that last year at Sleepy Valley, and really enjoyed it alot. It will be a full day for me, guess Roger is on his own.

Thats about all for now................hope all our friends and family are staying warm and.........................Happy Trails to all.
