I mentioned yesterday that Chewlee helped me do Rudolph. Well, today I noticed that Rudolph looked rather sickly. His face had a definite grey look so I had to repaint it. It involved covering up some of Chewlee's little decorations. She wanted to take it home with her but I showed her what I had done so she took home the other one that I repaired for her mother.
However, even though I told her to be careful with it, she obviously hit something hard and the other antler broke off. At first, I thought it was the one I repaired but, when I looked closer as I was gluing it, I saw it was a new break. This one is going to require a little bit of paint since it chipped in two places. The Beast, who had driven her home, came in to give it to me and said the Princess wanted to know if it came with a warranty....LOL! But it's repaired now and I am going to let it dry a bit more and then touch up the paint. I'll finish up Rudolph tonight, too. I suppose I will drive it over to her house. I may call Cee and ask her if she wants to go with me to see the trees all decorated. The Beast said the house looks really nice. He even saw the tree and said she had done a heck of a job on it.
I didn't go to the store today like I wanted to because it was so cold and I had no clue where Chewlee was. The Beast had let her go over to the neighbors house without telling me. I did run down to the Dollar General and pick up some grossly overpriced shrimp and made some Shrimp Alfredo with Angel Hair spaghetti. It was delicious and there is almost nothing left of it. I may eat what is left in a little bit if I get hungry. I was only gone for less than 15 minutes, it's that close to us. I like it for the convenience. I also found some rather pretty little inserts for the Princess to use for the sleigh since I know the flowers that are in it are getting a bit...well, weathered...LOL.
I had to do a load of wash for myself since I got a bit messy while painting up Rudolph. I got some paint on my jeans so decided to go ahead and do some wash. It was really cold out today. It said it was 52 but the humidity was high...100% and it wasn't even raining. That made me turn on the heat in my computer room. It's one of the coldest rooms in the house since it's in the rear corner of the house. By the time the sun hits it in the afternoon, it's almost dark AND the trees in back are so big they block the sun. There's a stand of big spruce and pine trees on the property line in back. It's fairly decent in here until around 4:30pm or so. But it doesn't warm up at all until around noon. The temperature really drops when it's windy out and it was windy out, too. Yuck!
Chewlee can be really funny at times. She asked if she could come over next weekend and stay at Sam's house. Sam is a boy around 12 years old and, when we had Chewlee living with us those couple of years, she played with him often. He's a nice kid and is the one that the dog attacked last year.
The dog was actually trying to get at Sam's dog that he had picked up to protect since he didn't know the dog (it was the one that was guarding the herd of goats at the farm about a block away). It was friendly with Baron but didn't like Sam's little sausage mixed breed dog at all. We recently found out that both the guard dogs were put down after the attack because it wasn't the first time it had happened and the farmer didn't want to take any chances.
Anyway, when I told Chewlee she couldn't spend the night at Sam's house, she said...."But he has bunk beds, Grandma!" She really didn't understand why it would be inappropriate. I told her not to even ask because he was too big to have a girl overnight, especially in his bedroom. Sam is a nice kid but you don't tempt fate.
Well, the Beast is in bed and it's still early so I am going to do the touch-ups on both the reindeer while I watch TV. Love you all and I hope you had a great weekend and a good week. Be happy. Smile a lot...it's good for your face muscles. Your smile may be the only good thing that someone sees all day. You never know.... ***Hugs***
