Another corner of my house

Hi I did it again didn't I?
I kinda disappeared, but really I didn't.
I've been right here.
For the last 13 days, since Bailey's surgery he and I have spent a lot of time here in our living room, lately next to the fireplace, recuperating from lots of belly stitches for Bailey.
But the stitches are out, yesterday, and today he is well and happy and begging for food.
That is always a good sign.

On the job termination and new job search.
Well things are a little slow.
It's late November after all and the holidays are coming, and the financial markets are poor.
It's a hard time to lose a job after 25 years and with much experience.
So we are just taking each day as it comes, for after all, there is not much choice to do otherwise.

On our porch , which we started 6 weeks ago, before the job fell out from under us, I had pictures of progress to show you.
But trying to download them on my computer, either my computer or blogger is not cooperating.
So a picture of my comfy couch will have to do for today.

We had our first snow today.
And tonight it is to be 19 degrees. Amazingly cold.
Our wood insert in our fireplace is going strong and that will help keep us toasty as life outside is swirling maddeningly around us.
We go forward and hope.
