Howdy

It's been a long time since I've posted, just didn't feel like it.  Actually I haven't spent much time on the Internet at all.  I finished all the crosses and will take pictures of them after I put the fabric stiffener on them.  I have been doing a lot of reading.  I just finished Pride and Prejudice, Emma and Sense and Sensibility.  I love those books, I've read them several times.  I have them in paperback and would like to get them in hardcover some day.  I guess I'll have to look on line because the bookstore here didn't have all three in hardcover.  Paperbacks do hold up pretty well though.  I have some that are several years old. 

We had our Staff Christmas Party on Monday.  We all went out to the Old Plantation Inn in Medicine Park.  I've been wanting to check it out.  The building is beautiful and the prices were good.  The food was good but it's not worth driving all the way out there.  We have oodles of places to eat right here in town.  We got our bonus checks and they are pretty much spent already.  Part of it had to go to pay some bills that were due.  Bill bought some movies and we both bought a couple of books.  There's enough left to get Bill a pair of jeans and maybe go out to eat. 

We tend to have a lot of stray dogs around here.  Most of the time they are not a problem because I have been able to avoid them.  Not that they bother me but they do tend to want to attack Sassy.  I don't know why big dogs like to attack little dogs but they tend to do that, around here anyway.  Last night 2 big dogs were roaming around and I got Bill to go with us so that Sassy could take care of business.  For a moment I thought the dogs were going to attack Bill but they finally backed down and left.  We really need a fence but don't have the money.  I would call Animal Control but by the time they finally get here the dogs are long gone.

I finally took a photo of our pretty Christmas tree.  I'm very happy with it.  We bought some more decorations yesterday at Walmart.  So, the photo of the day will be my Christmas tree.

Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
