December the first--

                        "Do whatever you can--for as long as you can"- and that is if you wish to stay young at heart--and we all want to do that!----so---I struggle some days--climb the stairs multi times a day--because if I leave clean laundry on the stairs waiting for my next trip up there, Lopez will find the socks and hide them in his bed-- 

Yesterday, my friend , who I never knew before, called me and said she had received a flyer, in the mail, telling her , a person would clean the interior of her vehicle for a good price--  She called and asked if I wanted to bring my car over  also--have all the Chihuahua hairs vacuumed up--- Hmmm--sounded good to me--so, even in a bad snow storm, I settled Lopez in his bed (which is now my good leather chair)---and I drove very carefully over to her home--on the slippery roads--and now I have a very clean interior of my vehicle.-

I never  knew  my friend before all this Bereavement stuff--  Funny what the good Lord presents  to you when you need it--like--who would ever think?---

So, This is  Monday-a new week-- December 1st-----and here we all are--  trying to help Santa get ready for Christmas--

Words of Wisdom--

#1. Rise early--

#2--The only way to have a friend is to be one!

#3--Seek respect--and below---Xmas with 5 children--It must've taken me forever to wrap all that!

So--I must get moving here-_  get Lopez out-- put on  my heavy parka-- -- Hoping that your day goes well--It will if you try to be strong-- and happy--and I will return later--nnDecember 12st--
