Time is so liquid the older I get. In the last couple of weeks I
find my mind wandering to what my grandparents and parents may have
thought and felt when they were my age. What their lives were like and
how they felt about times passage and the future. It is getting almost
surreal how the day, week, month, years are passing. I never can find
enough time, and I'm not always convinced I'm spending it in a way that
I'll be satisfied with when I look back.
We lost
Scrappy unexpectedly on September 15. It still stings. I've almost
posted a photo of her here, but I'm looking forward. I don't want to
have my heart pricked again each time I look at this post. I'm just not
done grieving yet.
HOWEVER, Buster has adjusted quite
well. Our neighbor had her daughters dogs for a while. He had them to
argue with though the fence, but they found new homes. Buster had to
figure out what he likes and what kind of dog he is. He's not the other
dog anymore, he's the only dog, so it's been a transformation for him.
He's much more mellow and he loves Frisbee. It has been great watching
him come into his own. He's getting quite skilled at catching it
mid-air. Although I've not been able to get an action shot of it yet.

Grandbabies are growing big, I got the other Sock Monkey blankets done. Love them! What's better is the babies love them.

Another sweater, for Diesel.
I didn't like this one as much as Gramps, and there are several modifications I would make if I did it again.
My best friend got married after a long engagement in September. I'm so very happy for her.

Kristen,
Devon, Vincent, all came home for Halloween, and we had a good time.
Got a nice family pic with Hackenslash, sans the son-in-laws.

Thanksgiving came and we ate well.
Christmas,
oy-vey. Only 3 weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas had me running
like a madman. We got things done, shipped, and settled in for the
holiday. Went to Christmas Village on Christmas Eve as tradition
dictates.

Then
on New Years, we went to bed around 8pm. I'm pretty sure I was asleep
by 9:30. What new adventures will we have this coming year? Can't wait
to find out.
