Christmas Break

My Christmas break began today and I'm having my foot surgery tomorrow to correct the bunion on my left foot, which meant I had one day to do all the errands I wanted to do before being house bound for two weeks.  And since I don't have wifi at my house, I won't be able to post on my blog, so I made a quick run to the coffee shop for a last minute Merry Christmas post to everyone.  

It was a busy couple of weeks getting ready for the break, especially when I found out my doctor wanted me to take the first week of January off; the whole point of my having it done over break was avoiding time off, but it runs out that was out of my control, as so much of life is.  A lesson I have to learn over and over again.

This is the only tree I am having this year, due to my surgery but I think it is just lovely.  It's my shell tree with red bows added. 

 

I put strings of lights (free) on my railing, and added a thrift store wreath and I like it a lot.

I was lucky enough to get a free ticket to go with friends to see this production last week and it was wonderful!

Funny Christmas socks from another friend:

Gracie, snuggling up, looking sweet as pie.

And even though I take a bath just about every night, she always looks a bit worried and has to check up on me.  I think it's adorable.

 

Merry Christmas to you all.  I hope you have a joy-filled, loving, and peaceful holiday.  I'll be over here on the couch, knitting, reading, and napping for the next two weeks.
