So what have I been doing this last week (besides working)?
Well, let's review with some pix, shall we?
These are the electric candles I have in my windows; they face the street. I have a pair; they used to belong to my in-laws, they are over 50 years old, and they were made right here in phillytown!
The stockings were hung (heh heh heh) by the chimney with care...
...and one for the pussies who all reside there. My SIL made these stockings 20 years ago; Sydney was our first cat and he passed in 2002. "A house without a cat is not a home" - tru fax dat!
Since Mistress Maddie is a fan of front doors, here is mine.
I got this DVD collection for xmess; fascinating history!
And now for something completely different...
The girls gave me this calendar; it hangs on my office wall.
Santa Cat brought the girls some new toys!
Miss Gigi says HAPPY
Miss Nyla says MEW
Miss Oreo says YEAR!
I was hung by the chimney with care, but you think I can remember his name you did the handling??? LOVE the color of your door! And you know I love me some candles!!!!!! Did you ever receive your surprise? Anyho, It was a pleasure getting to meet you lady!!!!!!!!! Cock- a -tails again sometime, and A happy new year to your household!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethank you, lovey! the house came with the green door and green shutters.
DeleteI have the electric candles on timers so they go on/off at set times (just like your houseboyz).
OMB, did I NOT thank you for the little hand-knits? (hangs head in shame) yes, they arrived a few weeks ago; dreadfully sorry my lovely. I MUST post pix of them on the next go-round!
and yes, we MUST do more cock-a-tails at MOMs again! call me!
OMG the cats are adorable! I have to confess this was one of my better years. I can only hope 2015 is just as good. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI betcha 2015 will be the year the huntress slams open the door and shouts HERE I AM!!!!!

ReplyDeletemerci, mon ami! :)
DeleteAll best wishes to you, to RTG, and to G,N & O, A.M. Yes, 2014 was a total bummer of a year in so many ways, and not just politically etc - for some of my own health issues too, though when I see what others are going through I'm fortunate for being in a position to be able to still count my blessings.
ReplyDeleteDidn't stay up to see the ball drop but I did see it live coming from the Big Apple on Sky News (at 5 a.m. our time) - NY in NY! ("I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep.....")
Now I suppose you'll be/ have been sleeping in today to summon up energy to get the routines moving again - with new blog postings coming from yourself and others to help keep me sane.
NY salutations too from (currently here) Blackso, Noodles, Tortie, Hecky, Coalie - only Patchy's been in but gone out on the prowl again.
Toodle-oo!
awake at 7a, cleaned up the kitchen from last evening's junk food/booze fest, have a load of dishes going, made a pot of coffee, got dinner braising in the slow cooker.
Deletetoday will be laundry (3 loads) and some de-cluttering and some knitting. cats and spouse are still asleep; I am enjoying the quiet, sunny, cold morning.
Rabbit
ReplyDeleteYes I'm a Spo thief... Heh heh heh...
DeleteI recognize from whence that came, even before you said anything!
DeleteDuck!
DeleteGoose!
DeleteHappy new Year!
turkey!
DeleteHappy New Year! Wishing you the best in 2015!
ReplyDeleteand the same back to you, rj! 2015 will be a good year for you, I think! smooches!
DeleteLove your new calendar. That grumpy cat got hella famous out of nowhere. I had a yoga cats calendar for this past year so I decided to keep the animal theme and I'm getting Hot Guys and Baby Animals 2015 Calendar.
ReplyDeleteHNY, new boyfriend! granny cougar is glad you keep stopping by!
DeleteBest Wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year
ReplyDeleteback atcha, someone! hope 2015 brings you everything you desire!
