Winter - The Holiday Season

It seems that as we grow older it is becoming increasingly difficult to get everyone to meet at a common time.  After all, the children now are now married and they have responsibilities with their spouse's family that also require consideration.

So we do what we can, make what seems like never ending changes and strive to see everyone - especially the grand kids -  at least once during the holiday season.   And we try so hard to keep in mind that even though the times can be trying, we are most thankful for a healthy and safe family.

Some days I just want to pull the warm covers up over my head and stay in my toasty bed as long as possible. 

But the dog has other desires that require daily attention no matter what the outside may hold in store.  So I reluctantly get up to an excited canine of 8o pounds that is overjoyed to see me rise, get dressed and open the door for her.  She rushes out to see if the yard has been invaded.  Alas, after a scan of the yard, there is no sign of an invader and she then takes care of business and returns to the door awaiting re-entry and the forthcoming treat. 

Yes she is spoiled.  Loved and spoiled.  And she knows it.
