Spirit has Hit Me...1

The Christmas Zebra quilt is up ....

The Cards have been sent 

and

the shopping is almost done....

Christmas Zebras ...you ask?

Yep!

Back in 2012 when i decided to make a small Christmas quilt for the quilt rack over our bed...In my haste to grab green, red, yellow, and white material.....I grabbed that funky green on the bottom left side, cut it up and made a green and red star......only after i completed the quilt did i notice that the funky green has "Zebras" on it...!!

So...

the Zebras are up and we can let the Holidays begin..!!

In Hiding.....

The Mount Jefferson flock knows where to be this time of the year...

What better place than a protected wildlife area...

Who said Turkeys are dumb?!!

Up Date

Specialist did surgery the next day, on Friday and we had her home on Saturday.

Now

She up to her old tricks!

thanks for all the good wishes and prayers.

I thought toddlers were bad....try keeping up with a 89 year old who has a fetish for shopping!!!

She Did It Again!

The Female Parental Unit fell and broke the same wrist she broke three years ago.

She really did a good job this time - all the pins and plates from the previous surgery are KAPUT!

The local ortho doctor sent her directly to a hand/wrist specialist in Boone.

The wrist is repairable it's her age and the question of anesthesia the doctors are working out.

But

to quote the EMT's yesterday

"we're bring in a 89 year old female with a possible broken wrist and she's a Firecracker!!"

I'll keep you posted....

Look what the rain brought...

Full Color..!!

Finally Fall...

After almost two months of drought we've had some rain. Which brought out the fall color and the harvesting of the black walnuts.

In the front yard of the office there are several huge black walnuts trees and when the nuts begin to fall, it sounds like rocks hitting the roof and the little critters start storing up for the winter.  So far, this fall we've had no visits to the office by our furry friends. 

 But, they do like to hide under the copy machine!

Anyone remember....

..the Bobsey Twins?

They look very much alike except for the 24" height and the 50 pound difference.

Oh Yeah...

And his crooked ears.
