Highlights & A Near Disaster….
Yesterday:
*Decorated the scrappy Christmas Tree we found on Sunday. No lights but we made up for it with lots of homemade decorations.
*Pinochle last night. The guys creamed Katie and I. They were pretty hot.
*Bill game me an early Chrismtas gift from Erin and him. A very fun print by our friend Steve Richardson of a smoky day in the mountains. Shades of greens and blacks. A lonley craggy tree on a mountain-side with an errie sun poking through the haze. The colors are perfect for our bathroom. We know a guy in town just getting into the framing business. I think we will give him a try.
So here’s the near disaster: After I unwrapped the picture I wanted to hold it up to really get a good look and swung it right through the lit candles on the table. Luckily Bill 3 saw it coming and grabbed it and pulled it out of the way before any damage prevailed. Whew!
Left Valdez by 7:30 after dropping Rudy off at Barb Lyons house for a doggie break with 3 other Golden Retrievers. He will be in doggie heaven.
An uneventful drive to Anchorage so Katie could get her wisdom teeth pulled. A mere hour and a half and $19oo later and we whisked her to Comfort in where she elevated with pillows and we tied bags of ice against her jaws with my scarf. She looked pretty cute.
Bill 3, Bill, and I walked over to a new resturant called “The Bridge”. Yummy food with interesting flavors a little on the expensive size. The guys were not too impressed. They would have been happy with one of the steak houses in town I think. I enjoyed it though.
Tomorrow, shopping and a movie….
