HOUSE SITTING PLANTS

Christmas Cactus on the left.  The poinsettia belongs to Donna 
An Orchid Plant
 
I had to do another post to be sure the I could put pictures on both my laptop and my new Windows 8 computer.  I have been taking care of the Christmas Cactus and the Orchid plant since the early part of November.  The plants belong to Marge and George, our neighbors.  They have a really nice motorhome and they spend the winter in California and Arizona.  The plants were not blooming when they left but you can see they are blooming nicely. I hope I can continue to keep them alive until Marge and George get back the end of February.

END OF THE YEAR POST





 
Main Street in Buckley, Washington
 
 
This is a few lines to let you know I am still around.  I have been having a hard time putting pictures on my blog since I changed to Windows 8.  Diane came to Seattle so she could spend some time with her grandchildren.  Diane came over this afternoon to Sequim and will be spending the weekend with David and me.  She helped me get the pictures figured out. 
 
  
David had to go to Alaska for some meetings the first part of December.  The day before he left we drove to Buckley.  We went through Bonney Lake and Enumclaw too.  In Buckley we went to the Museum.  The building the Museum is in was the Church building that we used to go to when we lived in Buckley.  The Museum has so many interesting displays.  We had a nice visit with the volunteers and even the Mayor of Buckley stopped by.
 
We had a very nice Thanksgiving.  Steven and Janet and their children spent Thanksgiving week here, which was very nice.  We had a great Thanksgiving dinner.
 
Marge and Harry invited us to Christmas dinner at their retirement center.  It was so nice to visit with them.  The dinner was very nice.
