    This one shows the White House in the background, it really is something to behold. I have been there many times, but never this time of year. It's amazingly gorgeous! image......every state has a tree to represent the union. I find it very interesting, but then again I like history. A lot

    Thanks Lynnwood~. I am astonished at how beautiful these pictures look! It's so amazing to look at. So larger than life size to look at. He sent me this one just a second ago, this is also something else. The National American Christmas Tree , and behind it is the spectacular National monument. Sooo lovely. I hope you all enjoy these as much as I am. Much love ~M ~

    gorgeous tree!! Will try to post one from Valencia in Spain next weekend! Congratulations on birth of second grandson, nothing like a new baby! Lots of cuddles. I love reading all the posts too. It has helped me in this group. You are not alone, others are coping, working, living life as normally as possible. You all lift me. Certainly makes me feel better. Thank you each and everyone. X

    Love all the trees. If someone will tell me how, again, I will post mine. Micmel I lived in DC in 1964/5. Unfortunately, I was a snotty sixteen year old and didnt think it was cool to go with my parents to see all the sights. Teenagers are not too smart sometimes. I have been there several times since then, and do appreciate the monuments. But i never have seen the national tree. Beautiful.

    Minnie~ We have been there countless times myself and have taken the kids there as well every year since they can remember. Our second house is like twenty mins from down town D.C. And he knows there area well. Never in the winter though. Because I hate cold. But he braved the cold weather last night for those shots I love them ! Please do post anything from Spain how beautiful that would be. I am so happy that this thread has helped you. That is why we started it. We are all friends. And all friends do is get closer, I enjoy having you all here so much. You have what has made this thread what it is! Thank you and much love! ~M~. I went to sleep at 10:30.pm and finally got up , after feeding the dogs at 730 and I went back to sleep until 1145. I have such fatigue from yesterday, all the shopping and sorting ttiieerrdd!

    Speaking of travel, my big holiday trip begins in 1 week, I hope you’re all ready for San Francisco, L.A., Palm Springs and the Grand Canyon cause I’ll be posting pics along the way!

    For now, I’m trying to finish some work stuff that can’t wait until I return (next year). I love the productivity of Saturday work but generally need more rest than Sunday alone. Delegating is so hard for me but I’m trying.

    Hope the weekend is off to a nice start for everyone:)

    Mae, I can't believe it already time to go on your trip! That's awesome. I am so happy for you! Won't you be seeing your hubby ? I can't wait to see those photos! I love going back and looking at everything that all you strong ladies do! I was looking at 50'sHawaii pictures, talk about where I wanna be!!! Marvelous! Please post your heart away. I will live vicariously through you! Much love ~M~

    Hello ladies! Your pictures are beautiful! No1, congratulations on your great news! I did the happy dance for you when I read it! Sorry I have been gone awhile, I got great news on my Pet scan this week, I am holding steady, other than the hip met, which is too small to show up on the Pet! The bone marrow did not show up either. Mo says that could be anything, but we are not going to worry about it at this point. We are staying the course for now! Great news!

    I got kind of freaked out because I had a little episode a few days before my appointment and the Mo ordered a brain MRI to check for brain mets, or a possible stroke. Strokes run in my family, big time! So I was terrified! MRI was clear! YAY! Of course, now I have to have a full cardiac evaluation, because Dh thinks that my heart stopped. He was witness to it and he and Mo had quite the discussion about it. Aaargh! We'll see! I'm less freaked now.


    Anyway, I have really enjoyed all y you pictures and stories! Can't wait for pics from Spain! Mae, I am on pins and needles to see your journey with you! This week is going to be insane! I will try to keep up.

    Dh really hit it out of the park with my gift! Will post pic. Love, love, love all of you!!Heart

    Nan, you are forever in my heart...

    Hugs and prayers,

    Claudia

    Claudia~ OMFG!!! Is that a Shepard? Omg beautiful, love love the name wow. What a precious angel. No wonder you have been so busy. I am so happy about your stable news soooo sooo thankful. I was so worried about you. It's not that long that that much time goes bye without you being around, considering you're one of the original anchors to our little home here. Your news all around is fantastic and I am sending thoughts about your last test you have to hurdle! We are with you and adore you so much ! Much love ~M~

    Ohhhh, new puppy, so much fun!

    Bigbhome, what did you mean by “nan forever in my heart”, did you hear something? She hasn’t posted since October but her profile shows her as last seen 12/10, just a week ago.

    Micmel, yes she is full German Shepherd! I rescued one once, but it was a bad experience. He adored Dh and I, but saw everyone else as a serious threat, even Ds. He went to knowledgeable Shepherd trainer, twice, and to a Behaviour Specialist. She told us, it was just a matter of time before he bit someone. Somewhere, sometime he was going to attack someone, probably sooner rather than later. We sadly put him down. I have always wanted a puppy, so we could raise it right! 3 of her litter mates are going to K-9 training in Indiana and 1 is going to be a SAR dog. Anastasia is more fit for a pet. I am so excited! We are going to train with a well known German Shepherd trainer!

    Guys! I was looking as well. No one has heard anything from her. I have personal messaged her at least three times, she didn't answer and she always does. I'm seriously starting to worry. She always checks in. I also saw that she at least logged on the tenth of December, but no postings or responses! I Am very well worried as well! Much love guys ~M~

    No, I haven't heard anything. I just wanted her to know that I am always thinking of her. Sometimes you might not want to post on threads, but you still read. I just wanted her to know that I never forget her!

    Claudia,The same thing happened to me And our rescue Shepard dog named shep. She was a family dog and actually did bite some of the male visitors in the balls. We just tried to watch him closey, but a few men sang a few notes higher for a few seconds sometimes I have to admit . She is absolutely precious. I am so happy for you! It's like having a new baby! The great part is you can always be with her and she will be your protector! Please post more pictures of her when you can. I love to see her. She's tiny now, did they say how big she would get ? I love to see that beautiful smile on your face. I'm so glad you're back I missed you.

    Gotta have my core peeps here with me. It is a family here to me. My people who understand, so I can be more pleasant around the house here. And it's been working. Having this bread has helped me tremendously, I want to thank each and every one of you for coming here and sharing with me and becoming apart of my online family here in our little pub. Which has grown and I'm thrilled. Remember Claudia when it was you, Mae, Nan & Keetmom. Lynnwood, I mean we have come along way and are growing every day. Thank you. Welcome back my sweet friend. Much love ~M~

    imageThis one is my favorite! I took this a minute ago, you can see the reflection of the living room through the glass,but this is Wyatt’s room. He has a little tree too. Murdock is the boxer at the foot of the bed and little wyguy is asleep,with visions of sugar plums dancing in his head. So darn cute!!
