Some Thoughts From The foothills at the base of the Rocky Mountains!

I have always used affirmations and they have served me well. I hope one or more of these will help as well. The 4 most powerful affirmations: Everything... Sign in to see full entry.

More Christmas Decorations.

Today I put up my nativities. I have a 5 tier shelf that I put them on. I changed things up this year. I have 5 nativities centered on each shelf. Ten nativities on the outside edges of the shelves. I plan to put 2 candles on either side of the nativities on the 5 shelves. I have three nativities... Sign in to see full entry.

The Village Is Coming Along! More Pics!

Some different views. Chris will take nice pictures this weekend and I'll share them. We have some infrastructure to redo and a light is not working on a fence. I'm pretty satisfied with the way it turned out. I'll cover more of the wires with snow and rearrange people. Sign in to see full entry.

The Village is Coming Along! More Pics: Train, Train Station, Barn...

Chris and Jessica will be here soon to hopefully finish the snow, houses and train tracks. I had to order another adapter. One of the adapters seemed to heat up and there’s no sense taking a risk even though I use LED lights. Jessica had to put Pete in the duck house when we went to pick up the...

Another Good Day For Pete! He’s moving around more today!

If you didn’t know it would think Pete never had the operation. I’m happy for him as well Jessica. She worries about her animals and loves them dearly. Today was a day to tidy up my house. I had three large totes with Christmas village houses and lights etc. I was cautioned to have everything on... Sign in to see full entry.

The infrastructure on the Christmas Village is Complete! WOOHOO!

Jessica and Chris came by earlier this evening to install the cords, lights and adapters for the village, everything is plugged in and working. It will be on a timer and I can sit back and enjoy it. It took quite some time because there were 9 battery boxes and 5 adapters to hook up the trees,... Sign in to see full entry.

Glorious New On Pete! Glorious, Glorious, Glorious.

It has seemed like forever waiting for the vet to call. This morning when they took Pete in, the vet assistant said she brought blueberries and lettuce for Pete. She said he will be using the room the doctors use during the day for his recovery. He will have it all to himself. She has a plan to keep... Sign in to see full entry.

Confusing Insurance & Hospital But A Cool Order and Pete!

Way back in September I logged into my account to make my monthly payment on the money I owe for my hospital stay. My account said zero balance. I wasn’t born last week so I knew something was going on. I called the folks who monitor my payment, they said the hospital ask them to return my account.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Decision Has Been Made Regarding Pete!

Pete’s wing isn’t responding to the antibiotic as my daughter had hoped. She worried the infection would spread or worse the area infected would burst and he could bleed to death if it happened overnight. She got a ballpark quote from the vet. Depending on what has to be done it could be a low as... Sign in to see full entry.

The Red Wings Tree is decorated! One Down Three to Go!

This afternoon I was transferring my steps data to my notes on my phone. I have kept track of my steps since September 29, 2022. That’s when I started walking 10,000 steps per day. It did take a few days to build up stamina to walk that many steps. I have had two interruptions while battling... Sign in to see full entry.
