I went in to get a crown and came out with a hole in my jaw.....
Dentist said in all his 20 years of practice he saw only 4 other teeth in that bad of condition......
He took off an old crown with plans of prepping the tooth for a new crown and then decided on a root canal and then the extraction....if it needed to come out, then it needed to come out.....
Last year's....
No tree this year.....time and energy ran out.....
The tree is not Christmas.....
Christmas is family, friends.....
Celebrating and appreciating the birth of Jesus, our Savior....

The lights did come on and the rain stopped long enough last Friday for me to decorate outside.....in 55 degree temperature
Also discovered the makings of a new friend.....
Mr. Sweet Potato Man....
Need a last minute homemade gift idea? (All rights and profits the property of Grandma G.)
I found that a sweet potato in the pantry was starting to grow leaves. I remembered many years ago growing a sweet potato vine...so decided to do that....Friday night I "saw" this cute face ....simply added the eyes, nose and mouth.....
an instant companion overlooking my cooking....
Hair growing....5 days later.....another scenario.....It's not good to leave Grandma G home alone on a late December Friday night.....
Saturday was rain....rain...rain....after water aerobics I spent the day inside, energetically cleaning the bathroom, doing laundry, practicing piano.
Sunday was the morning of our Christmas service at church....a short play by the kids, followed by carols and snacks...
Later in the day we visited a nursing home in Portland (I didn't have to drive) and performed the play again and sang more carols.....
I ended my day out by having chili and a visit at Deb's. Then home to bed......after making plans with Angie and Jake to go to the movie on Monday. (Out here one does not go to the "show".)
And the movie is.....
The Hobbit....
Christmas Eve will be spent at Grandma Carole and Papa Frank's have a soft version of tacos for me and then a sleep over with Christmas day at the Millers.......
And Yes.......there is long lasting snow out here
soft and cottonie.....
And to all
a very blessed, Merry Christmas.....
This has been a good 5 "night before Christmas" days in the life of Grandma G.
"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child." (Luke 2: 4-5)
