Santa Fe Tree 2015

Tags

A most unusual tree….

Every trip to Santa Fe always gained a few ornaments for the tree.  It took a lot of trips but finally enough were secured to have a tree consisting only of them.  The fun was looking for them though, Mom says.  Here are a some that are new this year.

Reindeer. Artisan painted.

Gourd painting…exquisite

image

Hummingbird…brushskin.  This one actually hails from the Philippines where it is fashioned from palm fiber by workers there.  Hummingbirds are abundant in Santa Fe during the summer.

image

Of course, there is one to commemorate the great balloon fiasco. 🙂

A favorite

It is a tree of art.

Hope you have enjoyed them. ~ Indy and Lucy

Scottie Fridge

Tags

It’s Beginning To Look A lot Like Christmas…..

image

The cards are rolling in for the Scottie fridge and it’s so much fun.

image

Isn’t this hand made creation from Diane, DD  Lewis and Duff exquisite?

image

This handmade one came with a Scottie coaster.  Great idea, Lori Glenn…thanks to you and Duncan.  That’s us looking out the window.

image

Another frame worthy card made by Gaby Jans but from Patricia Bonnel and Sir Achille is gorgeous.

image

Love this one from Corrado and Darla Castro.  You are looking at our card for next year….the ornament is perfect.

image

Mary and Larry Lauber sent us this great card with a picture of Gordon and Gillis.

image

This is a particularly a precious one from Houston friends, Leah and that sweetie Wheatie, Mac.

image

There’s the boys, Sammy and Teddy and McTavish too and  love the classic from Patty Brown.  They are already on the fridge in temporary placement.  Mom secures them with magnets first, arranging them by sizes until she has enough cards for a fit.  A card might be in several places before final placement.  It all depends on the cards sent.  Can’t wait for Monday’s mail. ~ Indy and Lucy

A Letter to Ruffles

Dear Ruffles,

There are so many particulars of you which shape your memory for us: a happy optimistic personality, confident leader, gentle but fearless warrior, loyal, loving companion, and a nurturing teacher and sister.  You have enriched us by promoting a life of peace and harmony with others.  We are so lucky to have known you.  Till we meet again. ~ Indy, Lucy and their Mom

Scottie Prayers Needed

We have had a busy week so far watching Dad put up another fence panel and helping in the yard.  At least some of us helped…

image

and some of us played ball.  Just sayin..

image

Brother got a cool birthday card from Patty Brown.image

However, our hearts are saddened by news from our friend, Leah McIntosh, that our pal Mac has hemangiosarcoma.  Then we learn today that Stuart from The Scottie Chronicles has been hospitalized with complications from the same disease.  Indeed, it is sorry news to report. Please remember them in your thoughts and prayers. ~ Indy and Lucy

I Am 4

In attempt to post a video, Mom messed up on this posting and it posted today instead of Saturday which is my birthday. She deleted it and if you had commented…that’s gone too.  However what is important is…………….

I am 4.

I got my favorite treat: Braum’s vanilla ice cream.

I love my new blue ball and bunny.  Sorry but anytime you make a update it changes your time set….looks like they would have fixed that by now.  Any way, I hope you have enjoyed my birthday week.  Thanks for all the birthday wishes. ~ Indy
