Two stars and Murphy

What a gloomy stat today...it rained yesterday and looks like more today. The dark clouds rolled in and do not seem to be leaving. Finally fell asleep at 3:30 and all of a sudden it was almost 5am.... I wanted to see Alan before he left for New York this week on business. Well, of course Murphy woke and it was out for his business then back in and a cup of coffee for  me and I managed to convince the pooch to relax until 7am. So, back out for new business and he discovered he can reach the fountain and take a drink. Back inside and a towel rub down. Now he is manic with his tennis ball. Murphy is great at playing with the ball; tossing it and then chasing after it and nudging it so it will roll. Murphy is giving much love.... my heart is happy.

Well... it occurred to me that I never posted the November Origami Star! So here it is. I love the colors in the leaf fabric.... reminds me of the changing trees back East.
Finally, the last monthly star is complete. My tree is complete. I am still pondering if I should have a monthly something for the metal display in 2020…. my thinking cap has been empty recently.
How about an update on the new residents? Alan and Lisa have adjusted well. What is not to like? Back in Rhode Island the weather has been cold and snow...here, sun and coffee outside each morning...still. Our tree is blended with ornaments from them added to mine and it is a full tree. Lisa and I decorated right after Thanksgiving. Thank you for asking about them. Thank you also for the caring emails asking about me. I am doing much better and will soon have busy hands again. Thank you for your kind words and for you friendship.
Special request: Debbie, Dianna's sister has had some surgery and could use your healing thoughts. Glenda and Don are doing well...thanks to all of your caring thoughts. Friends are so important!

Love your stars! It's been fun to watch what you create each month. As I was reading your post I was wondering what you would choose as a monthly project for next year. I'm eager to see.
Going out of town for Thanksgiving has thrown me completely off my Stress-free Christmas plan. I've decided to avoid the stress, do what I can, and enjoy everything that comes my way. At least that's what I keep telling myself...

Your last two stars of the year are beautiful my friend. I am a bit let down I admit. I REALLY was looking forward to seeing a picture of Murphy. Oh please give updates. I for one, want to see him EVERY post. :D

Well done on finishing the last of your stars! It would be wonderful to have another monthly project for 2020. Maybe little flowers or birds?
