Ready For Christmas.....

     This is our weather today...rainy.  You know you don't have to shovel rain, so I am ok with it. Today we are to have rain. tomorrow  maybe some sun.  Ted and I have  one trip to make today, and we will be done for Christmas.


  This is looking down our road to the east. See that sky? Clear as can be , this was evening time.
  Of course my photos are out of order. LOL. This was in the afternoon on Saturday when I sat on the porch. ...in December in Indiana. I keep telling Ted about the time he golfed  twice in January, one year.
 I have been lighting our tree everyday and just enjoying it. I find it so hard to believe that I only have four more days to be good. :) So I can go back to my old self and pick on Teddy. LOL. I love that man.
  I am feeling much better as far as my arthritis goes. I thank all of you for your nice understanding comments.
  I hope all of you are ready for Christmas. I think at times we think we are ready...then we are  running around like a mad person at the last minute.  I have been there many times.  So I am wishing all of you smooth days ahead. Just try to relax. XO

  5. Glad you are having nice, if rainy, weather. Rain is better than snow any day in my mind. Unless it's the snow that makes things look nice and then is gone the next day. LOL! I'm so glad you are feeling better. Your tree is gorgeous! I know you can be good for a couple of more days. Ha, ha.

  7. Hi Susie, Your tree is so pretty. I love the sweeping views from your home/property. It seems that there is always some last minute item that we have forgotten near a holiday! lol Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas with love.

  9. Hi Susie, I am trying to catch up with my friends. It is cloudy and cold today. Plans were changed with my oldest grandson sick today. So little brother is taking care of big brother. Grandma is home so she doesn't get sick. I enjoyed reading your blog. Have a Merry Christmas. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley

    1. Shirley, You do have to stay well. You do not want to take something nasty to the nursing home.Plus we have to take care of ourselves...so we can tend to others. I sure hope you can get a deal on a car soon. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. xoxo,Susie

  10. I just love seeing where you live Susie. Just the type of view I love. Wide open fields and narrow country roads. It looks so pretty there!
    Your tree looks beautiful!
    I loved your "only 4 more days to be good :)))"
    I'm glad your ankles are feeling better so you can get on with the show. It sounds like you are so much more ready than me! We just give money to our family too, so that makes it so much easier and they like it that way.
    I hope you have the Merriest Christmas Susie, and thank you for your sweet comment. Made my day!
    hugs from me...

    1. June, Today Teddy and I went to the store to get his meds and we picked up two toys for the new great grandkids. Layla Rose and Max. Layla is about 10 months and Max , her cousin,will be three weeks old on Christmas day. Sweet new blessings for our family. Ted and I both lost one of our brothers this year...this is our first Christmas without them..and God sent us babies to ease our pain..Just as He sent Jesus so many years ago.Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a new year of good health. xoxo,Susie

  11. Haven't been a very good friend and haven't checked on you. Glad you are feeling better. The weather doesn't help the arthritis. It must be raining everywhere. Enjoy some quite time as we enter the last few days of Christmas. Your tree is beautiful! I love looking at mine.

    1. Hi Gert, I know this unusual weather for this time of year..but when we think of how easy it is to get around, it's welcomed. I am glad you can go to see Tom and spend time with him. Do they allow Rusty to visit? Give Tom Christmas hugs from us please. Wishing you a blessed Christmas with family. xoxo,Susie
