Oh, Christmas Tree!

Over the years I've collected many ornaments. I have a storage bin entirely filled with Hallmark ornaments. Last year I used them. This year I used the other bin that is filled with personal ornaments. Raggedy Ann and Andy that Ann made from dough, sparkly dinosaur from the Smithsonian institution, a boat labeled U.S.S. Robt E. Hills for my dad, and last but not least a bag of coal that my Mom and I passed back and forth for 20 years.

I like this year's tree the best. Blessings to you for a warm Christmas.

Chill!

I love this picture of Hula. She's just relaxing and watching all the activity. 

She feels no need to participate, criticize, or respond. 

Talk about setting boundaries!  

You can't take responsibility for something you have no authority over.  You drive your bus, I'll drive mine. Just remember, at any time I can say "I'm getting off here."

Oh, and have a Merry Christmas no matter how you celebrate.
