Geez...it's been a week!

Sorry about the lack of posts - but haven't had a lot to share.  Quality personal time for Elmo.  I did drive around a bit though...here's a couple of pretty pics from North Douglas mid-week. 

A beautiful winter's day out North Douglas.  The Chilkat Mountains were lovely.

Gotta Love that Soft Winter Sunshine.  A Rare Commodity!

Been chugging-away on Christmas stuff.  Ordered a mess of stuff online.  Very convenient and a necessity in a town that seems to be losing local retailers right and left.  The Nugget Mall was like a ghost town this week - two weeks before Christmas.  Not good.  The box stores seem to be a little busier - but it still looks pretty feeble. 

I did some baking yesterday and had a great supper and visit with Dougie and Alison.  Alison had just trimmed their trees - yep, that's plural.  One in the living room and one in the family room.  Beauteous.  Alison's got cool Xmas stuff...

Tomorrow and Tuesday are Auntie medical days - which can be both trying and amusing for all concerned.  She's going to a physical therapist tomorrow.  Don't know that she's ever seen one before.  I am filled with trepidation.  Her posture is very poor and thus her balance is not good.  Probably from sleeping in a chair for years.  Don't know what kinda manipulations are called for in this instance - but I guess I will find out tomorrow.  Physical therapy will be followed by a chicken dinner at mom's - assuming Auntie is not too sore to attend. Tuesday is dentist day.  Wish me luck.

I am contemplating a week or ten days in the Great Northwest in January.  And maybe Hawaii or someplace else warm in late February.  It's possible I may decide to go to the Juneau Golf Club tournament in March - but am reluctant to spend my money in Arizona these days - the politics of the place are just too disgusting.

YIKES!  A winter storm warning just popped-up for Juneau.  Maybe a foot in the next couple of days.  And cooler temps later in the week.  Guess it's winter.  I just acquired a new super duper big shovel for driveway work.  Bring it on...

It was just perfect today.  Mostly clear, temperature around 30 degrees, no wind and a blanket of fresh snow.  Wish it would stay just like this for a couple of months...but obviously that's not going to happen. 

Will try to be more diligent posting this next week.

Cheerio.
