I recently read that instead of cutting down a real tree, you can get one with roots and everything. If you rent it, you can return it to the grower for re-planting. If you buy it, you can donate it or plant it in your own yard.

Rod McKuen is a great author. It's been years since I read any of his work.

What a lovely place!

I love the decor, so perfect I feel.

I actually got into some boxes and began decorating. I am usually more ready, but with the hernia I can't do much. My hubby, son and his girlfriend will be doing most of the decor in the next few days.

Hope you're feeling better soon. I got the tree into the front room today and the guys here will be decorating it tomorrow afternoon. I wasn't going to decorate or put the tree up this year and one of tenants seemed a little sad about that so I'm getting over my Bah Humbug attitude. My tenant helped last year with the tree. He is in his early 50's and it was the first tree he had ever decorated and he really had fun so...
I guess it's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for posting this Lady Boru. I forwarded it to my son and his fellow Air Commandos in Kuwait.
Nice one!

Well today is definitely a day of prayer for me..
When my Brother and Daughter helped me rescue one little fur baby, we all knew in our hearts we had to go back and rescue a second one,, a tiny innocent fur baby living in a bad situtation.. so with all the arrangements made all I need to do is pray for halfway decent weather and clear roads from Oregon to Washington and back again.. Then hopefully our Friends will go in and close down this rescue group and give the bigger dogs a chance of being rehabilitated...the red tape that exists is rediculous saving a life any life should always come first.. so I will pay to rescue another one and hope the other 5 get rescued before Christmas...I know in my heart of hearts their aggressive attitudes is out of fear... Yesterday I bought 2 Christmas stockings one now has the name Precious ResCue on it, the other has ResCue on it and waiting for a first name
