Hello dear Finest Friends..
First dutchess.. thinking of you Sistah & the difficult loss you have had over the Christmas holiday..
Not easy to lose dad ANYTIME.. but over Christmas somehow is a bit more edgy.
LOTS of movie attendance the past couple weeks. I am doing my regular reviews..
Billie, thanks for the delightful thread.. your graphics are always enjoyable
Lori - 4 DOGS??? wow.. Chachi must have had a ball. You are a good hostess to make people’s pets feel welcome. To me that is always important both ways.. for me to have MY HOME be a welcome spot & to KNOW my guys are welcomed elsewhere.
Just a quick comment on decorations coming down..
Mom & I decided we REALLY like the small twinkly lights. I put them (maybe 5 100’ strands) in her area & a few in mine. We are going to keep them up til... well, whenever. The tree will stay up til “whenever” also. It is a small -—— 4 foot -—— natural with pretty decor. We cut it ourself & so it is relatively fresh..
I didn’t do a whole lot of decor as I did NOT entertain here in my home & it was just for me & mom. The few friends who have seen it liked it .. but I do a LOT of holiday decor.. You would NOT believe what I have for Valentine’s day...
Thanks, Dolly :)
Raising my hand - inside decorations down, boxed and all put away - bare tree still up but it will be down and stored before this day is over. :) Outside "almost" all done. "It's beginning to look a lot like normal" again. :)

He did! He was in doggie heaven. And you should have seen the pile of Christmas toys he got.......yes, he is just a bit spoiled. LOL.

Well, I love dogs - the more the better. Now, if someone shows up with a cat, that might be a bit of a problem.....as much as I love them, our two dogs don't.
We had Chachi and my mom's Silky Terrier, my son's Boston Terrier and also their old Pug, "Penny". It was a menagerie, for sure! LOL. But the best news is, Chachi's back problems seem completely cleared up. He ran and romped and wrestled around for days with his "guests" and never suffered a bit from the back problem he had a few months ago. What a relief! It is the miracle we have been praying for.
