Good morning and (((HUGS))) EG. All is well here. I’m at home doing some winter chores and going through closets to weed out stuff.
Hope nothing serious with your teeth. How was your Christmas? Did you have nice visit with family?\

Good morning, Pro. Glad to hear that Christmas was good for you. What did Santa get you? And, you’re getting more rain.
Yesterday was warm, windy and overcast with sprinkles. We’ve got sunshine this morning and I’ll be stuck inside doing some chores. I take time off Christmas thru New Year to do some cleaning (cabinets and closets). So, I’ll be starting the clean up and putting away the Christmas decorations while I’m off.

I retire next year after twenty years in the Navy. I have been blessed to be home for all but one Christmas. My first year in the Navy I spent Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years in Boot Camp. Those days did not count as "training days" so consequently boot camp was 3 days longer. I got may wisdom teeth pulled and I wasn't married then so missing Christmas was no big deal.
I have missed a few birthdays along the way but not Christmas.

Happy Monday To The Canteen
I had a wonderful Christmas here with my daughter son in law
and a house full of kitties. I am not ready to leave the holiday
spirit and do paperwork and cleaning!

Glad you liked them. Oddly enough, I was so busy that I never saw them posted. (That's okay, though, because I know what they look like.)
I just wish I had had a chance to get around the neighborhood and take pictures of some of the lights. It was a bad month for us as far as timing and scheduling go. We didn't have the time to get everything the way it usually is. The front of our house was barely done this year.

Had a great visit with the family. They're on their way back to Texas now.
Just came back from the dentist. Have some plaque build up. Hygenist says I gott do a better job. Set appointment up for Jan uary to take care of a couple of fillings.

I don’t know. I think plaque is another enemy of old age! Or the dentists think so since they seem to say that to a lot of us. I’ve got at tooth bothering me so I’ll have to make an appointment to do a filling as well.
Good luck on yours.

Pretty good holiday. Spent it with both families. No fights. Less yelling than usual (although we do get quite loud at times -- like from 3:00-9:00 EST).
How was yours?

It was pretty touchy at first..Some of daughter’s kitties were growling and hissing like they were in a strange place..not their usual selves here..but soon all was well. Mine took it all in stride and all went smoothly..
My kitties are ignoring their new toys and playing with paper this morning..LOL

Good morning or what ever time you in today. I don't have my file handy here, but have this one on my about page. It was solid frost here this morning.
