Decorated This Year

Country Place is Perennially Blooming

S'wonnaful; S'mahvelous; S'beeeuutiful

And He said, "Let there be light!"

Santa' s on his way down the chimney

Mom and Dad Decorated
vicariously by Elves  interceding

Every year Dad finds a way to pull the Christmas yard decorations out of the attic and get them out into the yard.  This year, elves carried out his plan, and the decorations all lit up look great as ever.

We hope Mom, Dad, and everyone receive Santa's deliveries as usual this year, and Mom doesn't put hers  under a chair in the dining room, where her presents from last year are still sitting.  

Good job, Elves; you never give up. 

Talked to Mom and Dad on my birthday, 12/24/2012.  They sent out cards and got gifts for everyone; hard to believe, but they accomplished it.  Mom told me she fell two days ago, and had not felt like calling around, but she went to emergency, and she was okay with no breaks.  Again, hard to believe.  She has a doctor's appointment set up.  They want to know when I'll be coming to see them; I am saying in June, 2013 since I have trouble getting around now; I'm slow too.  I saw them three times last year, I am so happy.  We can go down after school is out in June because I will be totally retired finally.  Well, Mom and Dad are really hanging in there, and doing well out there in Country Place where everything is perennially blooming.
