I think I may have mentioned before what a handsome fellow he is - I think I said he was like a wonderful sculpture.
I'm sure you agree with me, Ray, but I wish I could have seen him blush. !!!
I totally agree! He has been a wonderful distraction from my issues and pains from the accident. I can go outside and visit with him and I forget about everything. Sometimes at night I think about him and turn on the cam to watch him sleep. Best therapy of any kind there is!😁

Hello TFO, just wanted to let everyone know that Sammy turned 5 yrs. old today. He's top weight this month was 58 lbs 9 ozs. Today he only weighed 56 lbs 8 ozs. He's been sleeping alot but still having regular power movements.He is 21 inches long, 15 inches wide and 10 inches tall. Here's a couple of pictures with his birthday hat on.
Happy birthday to Sammy !! He's looking good.

Woke last night at 11pm with a migraine "cooking"....yucky night but got to work at 4:30, had a 7:30 meeting with Target, out of there by 10:15 and headed home!

10 days of Vacation!

DC traffic is already going 30mph.....because it's going to snow.....notice it's not "snowing" , but "going to snow"! LOL
Heard on our news channel that some parts of the US are heading for the coldest Xmas in 40 years. I hope that all US friends and their torts stay safe and warm.

Good afternoon/evening all.
It's been a very wet couple of days but with quite mild temps.
Covid sems to be rearing its ugly head here again just in time for Xmas. One of my sisters has it so has to put her plans on hold, and one of my friends that I met up with a few nights ago, text after we all left for home to say that she had tested positive too. I'm hoping my immune system can fight off another dose.
I've booked a table for Xmas lunch at one of our local pubs for my nephew and I. My brother in law's mum died a few weeks ago so he's not feeling very festive or sociable so they're just having a quiet day, otherwise we would have been invited there.
I'm happy with our plans because it means I won't have to shop, cook or do the washing up 🙌🙌🙌🤗
I'm sure my nephew is happy too because he won't have to eat my cooking so it's a win win!!
I hope the storm heading the way of many of you in the US isn't as bad as predicted, sounds as if it will be super cold for some parts🥶but stay warm and safe and take care.

I'm going to be pretty much stuck here cooking for Christmas but it will warm up the house. It'll probably be just me and Joe because of the weather. Thank God my family loves my leftovers. I'll drop off some goodie care bags when we can get out again. Your lunch plans look to be really nice. Both of you can just relax and enjoy a nice meal together .🤗🎄

Rose put up our Xmas tree last week. She went with a white tree and a blue color scheme. I think it turned out wonderful.
Probably won't put up lights outside this year. Getting to be to much for her to do. View attachment 352741

The tree is so pretty.🥰 I think about everyone took it easy and was a little late this year. I know I was seriously late on every single dag gone thing 😁 but hay I'm getting there.😉🎄❄️🥶

Good morning all.
The storm in the US looks horrendous for all of you. It's bad enough without the power outages so I hope you and your families are all safe and managing to keep warm.
Stay indoors - Xmas can wait!!

Here, it's quite a mild dry day.
I have to go out to deliver my pressies to a couple of sisters but then looks like I'm all set.
I just noticed I have a missed call from the place we're booked into for lunch tomorrow, they didn't leave a message so I'm hoping they haven't cancelled the booking!😱 I hope that if it was urgent they would have left a message - I would if I risked a reaction from an angry customer but I'm a coward.😶‍🌫️ I'm sure they'll ring back if there's a problem.
There is a plan B if the worse does happen; my sister rang late last night and offered to cook meals for me to collect and bring home so maybe she could bail us out. Hopefully all will be well.
Anyway have a good Xmas Eve if the weather allows, I'm thinking of you all.
