Drip no more

This faucet dripped constantly

Told my brother from Maine about it on Christmas

The day after he texted me

Are you home or bargain shopping?

I am home

K i will be over

He,my Dad and one other brother came over tools in hand to fix it

They couldnt get parts for it because its old

So they went to Home Depot

Bought a new faucet

And installed it

When i asked to pay for the faucet they told me it was ten bucks a Christmas special

They were always fibbers as kids lol

They wouldnt let me pay

Merry Christmas to me!

One nagging project done

 

Hard day

Today is a difficult day

Last year was the first Christmas without Rich

But with his death 5 days prior i dont even remember it

I miss this beautiful man

No more hugs and kisses

Or protecting me

Or dancing to our song

No more advice

No more how was your day honey

Death sucks

I am thankful for the times we had

They are engraved in my heart

This guy misses him too

Today he needs extra cuddles

And i am happy to oblige

Will i ever find Christmas joy again?

I tried so hard this year

I was going to cook for my new friends

And thought the diversion would help

But due to things beyond my control it will not happen

Lost hubby, lost friends so a little sadder and more lonely around here

But i have God as my rock and he will help me through

Someday peace will come to my heart

 

Minnie vacation

She will go south to warmer climates

Hoping she gets to her destination safely

Holiday scenes

They get out of their pen to graze in thefield

They are good about not wandering into the road

Run run reindeer

I wrapped my Maine brothers gift to look like a deer

He is a hunter and I think this will tickle him

I am surprised how well it came out

Ha GA

I had a vision and the proportions worked with what I had

That head is an amaryllis in a box

The antlers were large picks found at walmart

I was dancing 🕺 when I found them

The nose is an ornament

I like him

Hope bro does too
