New Traditions

We spent Saturday making a giant mess on the table.

She decided that she wanted us to make our own Christmas cards this year. After spending enough money on supplies to buy ten boxes of cards, I was more than willing to help...

...until I got fired. I didn't make it through quality control.

The Light Wrangler

 Every year I have the same problem when it comes to Christmas lights. They are always a tangled mess and half of them are always burnt out. When she drug me out of bed early this morning to go dig them out of the basement, I was fearing the worst.

But this year I was lucky. They were only tangled. For some reason they all lit up-so of course she decides she doesn't want to put them up after all. Merry Christmas.

Good Eats

Today I learned that cooking a turkey on the grill is a good thing-a very good thing.

It certainly was something to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Life in Miniature

 Digging through my junk, I found some model kits I had never finished. When I was a kid, I did these all the time. It's not easy to find the things you need to work on models these days but I found enough to get started.

Now that one is done, I have the problem of where to put them. I see "cat toy" written all over this.

Saturday in the City

 Daughter's place of business was getting ready to open.

The early November weather wasn't cooperating so the ice was taking its time to settle in.

 It was perfect weather for me.

 I don't want to ice skate.

I'd rather wander around the streets of Georgetown than slide around on ice any day.

There is good coffee in Georgetown...

 ...and there are good things to eat in Dean and Deluca's.

Who needs ice when you have a jazz band playing and sunshine to sit in?

Fright Night

 She only lets me eat like this a couple of times a year.

 Hot dogs and cheese wrapped in a biscuit. What's not to like?

 Then there was the fried flour and sugar. Yum.

Dessert was the usual.

The only thing is-she makes me dress like this.

It's Halloween?

I know it's Halloween but this year has been a bust. No kids came last year so we are pretty much ignoring it this year. What I have been doing is hauling wood and raking leaves.

I've also been building heated cat forts in the backyard.

We've got two silly kitties who think it's better to be out than in even in the dead of winter.
See, there's not much going on but it's still better than last year when we were cleaning up after Sandy. Now that was a crappy Halloween.
