'Tis The Season!

Hello, Everybody!

Update on Sharon: We know we told you that she was feeling better in our last post; however, on Monday morning, she knew she wasn't finished with the doctor. Off she went. Would you believe that they gave her a third injection of steroids, and a third injection of anti-biotics? In addition, she had another chest X-Ray, two more breathing treatments, plus more prescriptions! Breathing has been a real struggle for her. They told her to go to the ER if she didn't get any better. She looked good, but she didn't feel good. Now, if this doesn't clear up, a lung specialist is next. We will see how she does. Through all of this, Ellen has taken very good care of her. Sharon has threatened to call the cemetery to find out how much a plot would be. That is how bad she has felt.


It is time to start the season, and here is Ellen's little guardian puppy all dressed up. We think he is cute. He sits outside the front door, ready to greet anyone who comes calling!

This year, Sharon sat on the couch and watched as Ellen put the finishing touches on her tree.

Here is a picture of Sharon's poor little tree with absolutely NO ornaments. Maybe she will feel like putting some on this weekend. Of course Ellen will most likely make her sit on the couch and open the boxes. Besides, Ellen is taller than Sharon, so she can reach higher up without the ladder.

There is something special about a Christmas program at school. The first graders did an outstanding job this year. We were afraid that Sharon could not come to see it, but she made it for the very last performance.

The little ones did a number with a pinata!

It is nice to see so many offices decorated for the season. This last picture is of the tree at a doctor's office. Every year this particular staff decorates every little possible nook.

We will probably post again after we get our homes all ready for the holidays. It seems like we are both late in getting all our decorations up. But neither of us has company coming from out of town, so our homes will be a bit more subdued this year. Once Sharon is better, we will both be a bit more jolly!

Until next time... . . . . . . . . .
