Christmas Comes

But Once A Year...

 I'm going to put off Mod Mix Monday till next week.

Because...Christmas comes but once a year.

And I can't do it all. I can't even do a small part of it.

I didn't post Sunday morning because I thought my internet was down.

We had a giant ice storm and yesterday afternoon I realized I had no internet.

But I still had cable...which was odd.

So I thought I'd just wait awhile and surely it would be back up.

Sunday morning I went to church services at my Mom's church.

She sings in the choir and was very very happy that I came.

After church Mom and I went out to dinner and then I went to visit my sister, 

my brother in law and all their dogs.

When I got home...I still didn't have internet.

Time to call my cable provider and ask if it was out in my area.

So I call technical support and they tell me to look at the back of my modem

"Look for a gray wire," he says.

I find the gray wire and realize it's been chewed in two!

I was like...

"is it the skinny one?"

And he said, "No", that would be your phone.

Me: "that would be why my house phone has not worked in 6 months"

Yes, I've been paying for a phone that does not work for at least 6 months...hey, maybe a year.

Not smart.

So he tells me to check the other wire or cable and it is loose on the back of my computer....

problem solved. 

So actually, my internet was never out.

Things are always going wrong with all these dogs around.

Anyway...after that....

I was just about to lose light for taking more photos of my Christmas.

Yesterday's photos were not the best because I was losing light then too...but I snapped a few to share anyway.

I'll try again tomorrow.

One of my newer putz houses. A friend gave me this one a few years ago.

Some of you noticed the new wall color in the living room.

I am totally loving it! It's just the perfect color.

Windows are still not painted and neither is the dining room.

Here is another reason why I didn't get many photos done...Franklin.

He was running loose in the room. He and Harvey are insisting upon helping me decorate.

Light quality is not great...but I snapped this good pose of him in front of Xmas pillows.

He seems thrilled with all the Christmas going on in the room.

 There's Franklin's tail as he explores.

 Another putz house...yes this one is the same as the other.

Shannon doesn't know she gave me two alike but that's ok.

They don't sit next to each other and I love them lots.

I keep thinking I'll change one of them up but I haven't done it so far.

So hopefully, I'll get more photos shot tomorrow...and I can show you the rest...

but you never know how things are going to go...do you?....

because this is how things go here.....

Got a love him anyway.

He doesn't like pooping on icy grass.
