Hi Everyone,
Yet another late condo. I can't believe I'm so far behind this year. Rusty had a good night and ate all of his nighttime fuds (he rediscovered the Newman's Own Organic 95% Turkey dinner, but I only have 1 can left and the supermarket where I buy it is out of the 95% Turkey). Anyway, he's gobbling it up (pun intended). Today Rusty "helped" bake cookies: my mother's friend's recipe for "Cinnanuts" and Edward's mother's recipe for "Linzeraugen" (thumbprint cookies with raspberry or apricot jam). Took all morning and then some of this evening. Inbetween we walked to the post office, did some shopping for cookie ingredients, and brought in the Xmas tree from the garage. It's a balsam fir and smells great. The tree was "frozen" (it was -7 degrees F. here this morning), but has warmed up nicely. Tomorrow we'll put the lights on it and begin trimming it. If we were going to be home for Xmas we would wait until Xmas Eve to put the tree up (family tradition), but we'll do that at my nephew's house in Central NY State on Xmas Eve (small family gathering; the big one was at Thanksgiving at my niece's in CT).
Sorry to be missing so many condos this week. But we're thinking of you all and continuing to send vines to all kitties and beans in need. Got to go downstairs to sit with Rusty, hold his dinner bowl, and watch TV. Back later.
