A drawing by Granddaughter of Her character (forgot it's name) Winston and a sleeping Agatha

 with her new toy.

I have been sick in bed for a week. I am so tired of being sick ! 

Stressed out from all the eye problems ? ? ? Who Knows ?

Stick a needle in my eye, , ,

 I just had the first of every 4 weeks injections in my right eye. Oh  Yea  Me ! My Macular Degeneration has exploded  in my right eye.  It is ripped and filled with fluid. I wonder if having my cataracts and new lens put in up-set the balance  of power in my eye. 

Let me tell you it hurt, even with all the drop they put in my eyes but it hurt and sent a pain to the nerves  through and across my nose and cheek. Counting the days to the next appointment. 

Cross my heart and hope to die stick a needle in my eye! 

This is an old vow to try to lie and get out of trouble. I don't know if kids today use it.

When I wake up in the morning sometimes this is what I see.

When Winston wants to get up and he is not barking at something, this is what I see when I wake up. Winston sits there and just stares at me untill I wake up.

                                                           Love the look on her face.

                                                                  How could you !!!!!!!!!!

                      You covered up my favorite digging hole were the tasty grass and muddy dirt is.

                                                                             .......

I have seen this before but it is too good to not post again.

Love Sooty !

Still Christmas here.

 Can you stand anymore Christmas ?

Still have my tree up. I usually leave it up past my Birthday right up to Epiphany. It is my Christmas and Birthday gift to me ! 

Tried to decorate just enough this year to make it fun for my Japanese Granddaughter who is now living in Tucson along with her parents. It has been different and quite fun.

.

                                                         Godzilla is still alive and kicking !

                                              Someone needs to kick back with a beer or two.

                                                                           Kawaii 

Daughter made us Osechi Ryori, Traditional Food for New Years Day.

Assortment of colorful dishes with special meanings.  She cooked for days

 

.

My favorite Aomori crackers ! They mean Green Forest.

 I filled my dish up more than I should have but I wanted to make it pretty for a photo.

You have small dishes to put your favorites on and then go back for more.

.

Mia took the photos then printed them out for my Christmas gift. Plus she draws Agatha much better than I do. She is only 12 but quite wonderful.

. . . . . . .

Here is your pretty for the weekend 

Security is always on patrol.

cheers,  parsnip

 

 

Merry Christmas !

                                                            My Christmas Card this year.

The cards on the right and left are designed by Daughter.

I started my card last year but was so overwhelmed with my various illness and hospital stays that I didn't get it get it done.  So I wanted to finish the card this year but I still am ill and "mrsa" came back with a vengeance . I am tired but. . . . still trying to finish.

This year no matter what I will not let illness hold me down. I will be late sending out cards.

Merry Christmas and I hope for a better New Year for us all.

Christmas in the Desert.

We here in the Desert do not have lots of "Christmas" type trees growing around Tucson but we have cactus.

Century plants are just the best for attaching Christmas Balls to the Tips. Just turn them upside down and "wa laaaa" perfect. We are very different out here.

.

.On every tree I have decorated (especially after the wildfire) even with just the fairy lights and origami I always put this small drawing of a Christmas tree done by daughter. 

...........

Your moment of ZEN !

cheers,  parsnip

Cold and Snow Tucson style.

Light snow on the mountain tops seen from my back yard.

Hard freeze last night and tonight. 

Wonder how many oranges  will be lost.

 It is cold here in Tucson. Somewhat early but nice. 

We need the snow pack to help replenish Tucson's aquifer.

With all the bad weather and massive storms around the United States...

Be Safe !
