Hi Mom [emoji4]
Work is insane as usual.
Life is good.
Bought a house, have 2 dogs, torts are getting massive.
How’s things with you?
You bought a house? Do tell!

And of course, you can't mention getting pets without offering up some pictures - of all of them, not just the two dogs.

The house is the rental that I’ve been living in for 3 years. They tried to sell it out from under me. Well, you can imagine how well that went [emoji51]
I paid 155k for it with my VA benefits.
Of course since it was a rental they didn’t take care of it. O well that’s my job now.[emoji851]

Good evening all. It's been kind of soggy here in NYC which didn't stop up is doing things, but did reduce the number of photos.

I got some at USS Intrepid the aircraft carrier which I'll post tomorrow when my phone battery is recovered

This evening we went "Jazz at Lincoln Center" which isn't at the Lincoln Center at all... it's in the Time Warmer Building to stops up the subway line at Columbus Circle! We saw the Jazz at Lincoln Orchestra playing a Miles Davis program. It was excellent :)

Nice to not see you back in the CDR Noel @AZtortMom :)

It didn’t go entirely to plan. Elsa fell asleep so Jacques had to finish the draw [emoji849]

You’re welcome to join the cards if you wish :)

And Bea will be organising the unwrapping day for the TORTOISE presents... though she’s always been the worst for wanting to unwrap them early :D
Since our Dark Lord started T.O.R.T.O.I.S.E. and made the rules, I will honor his Master Plan and will declare that ALL T.O.R.T.O.I.S.E. gifts are to be opened on Christmas day...
...except mine...:rolleyes:

(I can get away with that, since he's not around to scold me! :p )

It is far less stressful them.
My family have always done the same with their pets.
I was pretty upset once when my brother in law took my late Mum's dog to the vet to be euthanised because he had a kidney problem and didn't even stay with him. The poor dog must have been pretty scared in his past moments.

So yesterday we went to see the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid. You kind of know these ships are massive, but it’s not until you get on board you realise how big!

There’s a huge collection of military aircraft on the flight deck and a building housing the Space Shuttle USS Enterprise.

The weather was dire, so apologies for the dark photos
