Good night.
Fifty nine degrees at midnight December 24th/25th, wow!
Six out of eight episodes of Dr. Who later, we called it a night. Poor G couldn’t keep her eyes open after half a bottle of Prosecco, baked brie with cranberries and walnuts, caviar, mascarpone, and smoked salmon.
You all have a good one!
By 2:30 a.m. the temperature had risen to 63 degrees after which it began to fall to the mid 40s by 5 a.m.
Is it time yet?
G and I braved the crowds at the farmers market yesterday. She got a couple of things she wanted and so did I.
We hit the Amish bakery at just the right time. I snagged their last small mince meat pie for The Curmudgeon–it’s his favorite. All they had left in mince meat then was two tiny individual tarts. I also had to get one of their delicious bear claws–they are hard to resist.
One more stand, a one pound container of roasted Brussel sprouts with bacon topped out my bag and we headed home.
Looking forward to our girls night in tonight.
You have a merry, happy, blessed whatever you do.
Pets do not make good gifts.
I don’t care what holiday you celebrate at this time of year. All I want is that you think real hard about gifting anyone with a pet of any kind.
Puppies and kittens do not do well in stressful situations. If you MUST get someone a pet, wait until after the holidays. Give them a leash and collar with a note saying they will get the pet after the holidays.
Pets are a lifetime commitment. They are not disposable.
You all have a good one!
And how was your holiday?
Yesterday would’ve been my father’s 97th birthday if he were still with us. I love you Dad and miss you every day!
I made us a lovely dinner of leg of lamb, pickled beets and eggs, potato salad, and one deviled egg for both of us. The Curmudgeon was in heaven over it. It had to be one of his absolute favorite meals. In fact, each component is a favorite of his so he was quite over the moon. The deviled egg I served him made him giggle.
Gavin and Patty sure enjoyed the tidbits of lamb he provided for them.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and a good day today!
T’was the night before Christmas…
That whole business about not a creature is stirring doesn’t hold up in this house. Gavin and Patty will play dogs gone wild sometime after midnight as they do every night lately.
We don’t have a fireplace so there aren’t any stockings hung by the chimney with care.
It isn’t unusual to hear a clatter outside since we do live in the city. You won’t find me leaping out of bed to see what the matter is. However, I may leap up from my desk.
The only sleighbells ringing will be the ones on the dogs when I take them for a late night walk around the neighborhood.
You all have a Merry and a Happy!
Thank you for your patience

- The graveyard birthday cake

- Little D the birthday girl
We had HORDES of kids come Trick or Treating. They arrived promptly at six and continued to inundate us until after eight. I had no time to grab the camera and get pictures this year.
However, I did get some pictures of the decorations during a lull. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good one of the Zombie in the barrel. The best laid plans and all that.
After the Trick or Treating finished, Little D’s birthday cake was a great hit and she had a good time. Her mother enjoyed the unusual welcome into the neighborhood.
