December 5, 2023

This is a picture of our front door (which is not used).  I made the tree myself by connecting six long pieces of wood together at the top and then winding several strands of lights around to make the shape of a tree.  It's light weight and easy to store...I just leave the lights on it from year to year.

I am beginning Louise Penny's last book in the Inspector Gamache series.  I will miss the stories about the tiny village of Three Pines and all it's quirky residents like Ruth and her duck.  I definitely recommend this series to folks who enjoy indepth mysteries and getting to know all the reoccurring characters.

I took Chip to the vet yesterday.  One thing that Chip really dislikes is having his claws trimmed.  One of the claws was impacting his foot so rather than fight Chip, I took him to the vet and Chip gave the vet no problem at all!  Little rascal.  He is getting older but still enjoying life...

I am still working on the Count Down to Christmas Calendar.  I haven't decided how to present the envelopes.  I am thinking that I will use a large piece of cardboard, folded in half, which I will cover with decorative paper and then attach the envelopes to it.  Something like this...

I am already thinking that I could make this for next year to give to some of my family/friends.

That's all for today...

Talk with you tomorrow...
