Texas Long Horn



Here is part of our tree, that is a Long-Horn Texas ornament, came right from my pal Tammy in Texas, thanks Tammy. There is also a cowboy boot.

Beautiful Children Ornament


Children Ornament which Ruth gave me; they have dainty faces and nicely painted. They are fishing.

New Tree Ornament


This is a close up of a red bird ornament, probably a cardinal which Ruth gave me; it was on the gift as decoration.
Sandy hung it on the tree.
The red poinsietta was from a flower arrangement Sandy had given him once; we took it all apart and there are 5 of these to hang on the tree and 2 fancy oblong hanging deocorations and more
Thanks Ruth for the red bird.

Peter got my camera


Here is a Christmas picture of Judy--Peter likes to play with my camera--you should see some of them, unreal!
Once again the crop is not working, those are BD cards on that table in the background, Christmas bags and wrap.

Peter's New Coat


Here is a picture of Peter wearing his new jacket
which was sent to him from California--
Thanks Ted & Liza
The camera programs are not all working tonight;
so the crop is not working on the program I had to use.
I like to crop them more.
Merry Christmas

Frozen up 3x in one day

We have had some water problems. The water has quit 3 times
in just over 24 hours.
I hope it will stay on tonight as Jake has gone to bed already;
Sandy is at work--so I hope we dont have to fight with it again
when he gets home.
Now Sandy has added bales to the roof of the pumphouse and put some inside,
turned up the heater at the other end of building and put in some electric heat
closer to the pipes.
The pipe must have ice hunks in it or something.

Another nice card


This nice card came a couple of days ago; this one is from Olivia in Maryland, USA.

I really like the picture on this card as well.

Many I really like but I cant picture them all on blogspot.

Woof, Woof


I wont eat up all your food, and I wont bark at night and disturb your sleep;

and somebody is going to get me for a Christmas gift.

Anyone that knows me, probably knows that I dont travel like that;
I take all but the kitchen sink, lol.
