Hope y'all had a nice Thanksgiving. Mom and Dad went out to dinner so we (Skeeter and I) didn't get any leftovers. The next day Mom cooked some Turkey for all of us so we got some on Friday.
We are looking forward to Christmas and before. My (our) human sister is coming on the 19th and will stay until after Christmas. I know we will get leftovers at Christmas. Mom wouldn't dare not cook a turkey for Christmas. Pie too. Yes, dogs like pie, especially the crust.
We haven't put up any decorations yet but I think pretty soon.
Mom quit her job. She will be looking for a new one soon. There was too much stress on the old one and she was on her feet all day. She would like to get back to office work of some kind. That's what she's best at anyway.
Skeeter and I wish you all happy holidays.

New Curtains
The first thing I want to tell you is that Dad liked the new curtain :).
It took so long for Mom to find them, I hated to see her looking again. For selfish reasons I must add. If she's gone shopping, she's not home with me and Skeeter.
Dad also made a new mantle piece for the brick wall around our Franklin Stove. He needs to finish it but Mom can't decide if she wants to paint or stain it, Probably paint will win out. The top of the brick wall, in fact the whole thing was very rustic looking. The new mantle finishes it off nicer.
Rustic, in this case, means they did a lousy job when they built it but it's too hard and messy to tear it all out and rebuild.
We have been very remiss in keeping up our blog so don't know if we will continue or not. We will for a while.
We have been taking longer walks because Mom wants to lose some weight and Skeeter needs to. Mom lost 5 pounds and Skeeter a little over 1 pound. He only weighed 18 to begin with but should weigh no more than 15 according to the vet. Mom weighed...........Sorry Mom, I almost forgot.
My Human sister sent this quote.

Where To Begin
It has been over a week since Mom and I blogged. We have been really busy.
The new doors are up with primer coat but need a finish coat of paint. Two accent lights have been installed. Poor Daddy. He had to go up in the attic (?). No head room. He had to crawl on his belly to do the electrical work. They are a nice addition. Our house is now a Florida, Colonial, Modern house but everything goes together pretty well. Mom is happy. I'm sure you've heard the saying "If Mom ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."
Mom put up new curtains in the living room. Dad hasn't seen them yet but I think he will like them. They have little balls, excuse me tassels hanging from them. I was quite interested in them and tried to get close enough to check them out but Mom shooed me away. Now they're up too high.
Mom has also been working hard at her job. It's getting so she dreads going to work.
Skeeter and I are trying to get used to the new time change.Saturday night Mom was so tired she went to be at 8PM. So did we. Usually we sleep about seven hours. So when 3 O'clock rolled around we let Mom know it was time to get up. She got a little upset with us. Took us out to the back yard in case we needed to do any business and then went back to sleep until 5 AM. By then we KNEW it was time to get up.
I got an e-mail from my human sister. She will be here for Christmas. Can't wait. Skeeter hasn't been here for Christmas yet. Wait until he smells that turkey and pie cooking all day. YUMMM
Today's quote is not really a quote. It is a cartoon my Mom saw. I will try to explain it.
St. Peter is standing at the gate checking in a gentleman. Standing beside St Peter is a little dog. St Peter says to the man "So you're little Bobbie: well, Rex here has been going on and on about you for the last 50 years."
We, especially Mom, miss you Buddy.

Busy, Busy, Busy
Mom had to work the latter partof this week. She is off today but she said she is very tired. I feel a nap coming on.
Mom and Dad decided to "Update" the house a little. They had louvered doors and are replacing them with bifold panel doors. Also they were looking for a new dining room set because the one we had is too big for the room. After looking and some of the poorly made stuff out there and the prices, they took the top off the big hutch and made the bottom half a buffet or server. It made the room look much bigger. Now what to do with the top half. If you know anyone interested, let me know.It's too heavy to hang on a wall and use as a knick knack shelf. Someone could use it and I would give it to them if they were interested. By the way, it is solid rock maple.
Got a call from my human sister. She has a busy weekend planned. She is going to take care of Mom's grandaughter tonight. Hi, Hannah.Wish you could come see us again. You've never seen Skeeter. Warning! He will kiss you lots.
There was a Halloween party in our subdivision last night. Mom tried but she didn't make it. She went down there but they were picking things up. Too bad. There is another Halloween party downtown tonight but she won't make that either. I know it's for kids but Mom likes to watch the kids having fun.

There Go The Peppers
Mom planted her peppers outside the other day. The next time she looked all that was left was a couple of stubs. Something had eaten all the leaves off the plants.
It wasn't me and it wasn't Skeeter. It was probably one of those big grasshopper Mom keeps catching.
Mom and Dad decided to update some of the house. They started looking at lights for the kitchen. Today they went to a lighting place and when they came out the truck had died. I mean DEAD. The store was nice enough to send one of their guys out with their truck and give us a jump start. We pulled into a repair place and they were doing NO business. They were happy to see us and we were happy they had a new battery for us.
We still have one pineapple left. The grasshoppers better stay away from that.
It is too late to start more peppers. Maybe the store has some. Mom will check.

Another Gusher?
Last time I told you how my Dad accidentally cut a water line when he was trying to dig up a plant to move it to a better location. Well, that got fixed.
This morning it was our turn to water. When the lawn irrigation system got to the zone where Dad planted the bush, it looked like when they show the big oil rigs when they hit oil. Seems Dad accidentally hit another part of the water system with the shovel when he dug the hole.
He fixed it today but we are not discussing it in this house.(snicker) Sorry but it really was sort of funny.
Today's quote is from my MOM
"Thank God I don't have to go to work until next Thursday. Yeah!"
Skeeter and I love it when Mom stays home. Even when she runs the vacuum cleaner.

The Weekend in review
Mom went to a plant sale on Saturday with a new friend named Barbara.They went to a place called Discovery Gardens. Mom took her "Little Red Wagon" to put the plants in. Both of them bought a lot of plants. They were mainly looking for plants that attract butterflies.
Then they went to the farmers market, the store where Mom works and out to lunch. Skeeter and I were home alone until almost 3 o'clock. When Mom got home the phone was ringing, the lady left some of her produce in Mom's truck. She came to get it so we got to meet her. Now we have a new friend too.
Sunday Mom and Dad worked in the yard, after our Sunday Morning nap of course. Dad was trying to move a Bush that had grown too big where it was. It was brushing against the truck when Mom or Dad backed it out of the driveway. It had some big roots way under the bush. Dad took his big "Loppers" reached under the bush and cut the water line. Water blew dirt and mud all over both Dad and Mom. Dad fell down trying to got away from the water. He is OK. Mom pulled the plug on the water pump to stop the Geyser.
Today Dad went riding his motorcycle. Mom took Skeeter to the Vet. he's OK too. BUT I got left home ALL ALONE. Can you believe that? I sat right there in the front door window and waited for them to come back. I checked Skeeter all out to see where he had been. He drives me crazy sometimes but I miss him when he's gone.
Today's quote is by my Dad when he cut the water line by accident
"@#$%%^&&*((*&&^%%$##@"
Please excuse his language. H e was upset. LOL .Upset doesn't even half cover it Doesn't it get you mad when you do something stupid?
