Hi all, @Cathie G I hope things get better, I know they will, remember you lose when you don't get back up.
Our cat, Snowy, went missing two days ago, we got a message from our neighbour that she was bit by their dog and she didn't survive, I feel gutted?View attachment 337670

Aw'www, I'm so sad for you and your family. Having a family member pass naturally is one thing but to pass from being hit, or other traumatic cause, just makes it worse. Hug's to you and your family. . . ??

Happy Birthday Mark!

Thank you Sir Ray & Opo.

The day is limping right a long. ? A bit overcast today , but mild, so not too bad. I had started a new project a week or two before my surgery, but didnt get to finish it. Soo, now i can go up & down steps again, and Im trying to get the last few pieces glued up before the evening when we will light it up.

I can’t post too many pix of the pieces..or you will guess too easily.
But, here’s one teaser. I needed to make four similar/identical holders.
In total, I think we are at about 35 individual pieces in this project with a German Christkindl theme.

Come on now... Do we really have to wait ? Did I miss the finished bowl? Or was it done with your last picture? Which I loved by the way. I don't mean to put pressure on you ? I mean no more than you do. ?

 

[Cathie G]

Good morning!

@Lyn W I hope you got some sleep after pulling late hours. What a stressful day it’s seems that you had.
@Cathie G I hope that today is all great and no bad for you so your mountain legs can get some rest.
It’s supposed to rain here today bringing in a significant temperature drop.. My plans….. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! I have a few gifts to finish wrapping and plenty of hallmark movies recorded.

Well... every day has it's good and bad.but the good usually out does the bad in the long run. Mountain legs don't have to do anything but take one step at a time. I don't want to go into the problem I'm having because it's too complicated. And silly stupid issues. It seems our peaceful neighborhood has a poisonous snake in the grass so to speak. I've stepped on many a snake.? I've already won and that person just doesn't know it yet.? Hallmark movies sounds good to me. And a great way to celebrate this week before Christmas and the New Year.??

Happy Birthday Mark! I hope it’s been wonderful for you and wifey both . The new project looks mighty interesting.. as always ?

All of my geese and ducks from the spring are doing wonderful. They are all free range in the lake now. They find safety in numbers and roost together on a little island in The lake. They stay home mostly during the day or right on my shoreline. I have picked up many duck eggs on the island and successfully hatched and rehomed quite a few. I finally had to just stop picking them up. I never did get any greese eggs and finally just wrote that off until next spring.. About a month ago, Rigsy ( the red rescue dog) brought me a beautifully clean LARGE egg… she was handling it so gently so I took it and placed it in the incubator.. I am assuming that it’s a goose egg but I refer to it as the mystery egg… I checked it a few days ago and whatever it is is active in the egg. I am expecting some sort of Christmas baby. Whatever it is, it surely must be special. I’ll keep you updated

Holy cow! That's awful. I am so sorry. Words are not enough. My cats are my kids.

I got the Moderna vaccine last March...then the variant shows up, so because I have underlying lung disease I got the booster last thursday the 16th. But last Wednesday the 15th I went to my bible study christmas party...and found out today the man sitting about 8 feet away from me tested positive for the variant.

 

[TheLastGreen]

That's horrible Maggie! I hope you don't have it, stay strong and update us! Do you have to wait a few days until you can test? Here in SA we don't have the self tests people have in Europe or the USA

I hope he was far enough away not to pass it on to you Maggie.
Some people don't have any symptoms so could have it and be passing it on to many others.
I recently had some lateral flow tests delivered, there's only 7 and I think we can have 2 boxes each but they ran out because of people getting them for testing before/after Xmas gatherings. I hope the system doesn't allow people to take more than they need.
Can you get them in US?

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning/afternoon all,
It's dry and bright but quite foggy here today so the sun isn't actually reaching us.
I'm beginning to panic now about gifts for 2 of my sisters - what do you get the women who have everything???? I've ordered a wildlife camera for one of them but the others already have them.
I'm thinking of some sort of wild animal adoption now - but how do you wrap an elephant???
I'd better get back to searching the internet for ideas.
Have a lovely Sunday and see you later.
