    Morning KJ and Night MS! ….. cute pics as usual! …. I’m not much of a baker, but I have to say, I’ve thought of making cookies this year, Son and Dau LOVE my chocolate chip cookies – maybe if I get ‘artsy/fartsy’, I’ll decorate some and put santa hats on them 🙂

    …. the City workers are coming back today around noon, to turn off my power for 2-3 hours to change more telephone poles ….. ugh! …. altho, I’m glad they’re finally doing it (I live in a 125 year old neighborhood), just not sure right before the holidays is the best time! …. oh well, I’ll go shopping and maybe get my hair cut …. that being said, I’d best get to it, hope everyone has a great Thorsday, check you guys later this afternoon :/

    Good morning KJ, nighty night MS. Love the pics – “but I eated it.”
    MS, that pic is so pretty. No Palm trees around here, but I think it looks like that outside a set of glass doors in TDK land.

    Haha Joan, I’m sure it looks like that just outside the doors in TDK land, at least in MY mind it does! Ahh, and warm ocean breezes…..
    Pics are adorable too, and did anyone notice the calico cat that’s here to steal cookies looks like she doesn’t have any front legs, or are my eyes deceiving me?
    MS, isn’t that just the way things work? You go to the extreme getting gardens, yard, deck, planters fixed for a wonderful celebration outside to enjoy: then end up inside afterall. That has happened to me more than one time, LOL! Well, it’s stuff that needed getting done anyway, is how I look at it and I end up being the one to enjoy it most of all!
    Well, time to hit the showers. Am going to try and stay home today and start my marathon wrapping sessions….I’m sure the cats will try and help… 😯 saw a facebook funny that says you should take a drink every time you lose your tape, scissors, or the cat interferes with your wrapping….okaaaaayyyy….I would be sauced after the first hour for sure, HA!
    Check in later peeps!

    peeking in to say Hi! ….. LOL @ KZ, I’d be ‘sauced’ too after about 30 min. of wrapping, I need a lo-jack system to find my tape and scissors after about 10 min. Not to mention, Abby thinks ALL bows are hers, and tends to ‘take’ them and stash them downstairs in her toy box … silly girl!

    …. I’ve got more than enough palm trees here for everyone – they are nice, but the palm frons can make a mess of your yard if you don’t keep up with them …..

    …. just set Hazel/Bob to work on Dau’s room upstairs, Abby is on ‘Bob watch’, so I’m headed down to input …. *waves*

    Hi AV, sorry I missed you when I posted. Sometimes takes a while to write a post! I don’t vary too much with cookies – choc chip and maybe sugar cookies.
    Lol KZ – I would be sauced too. With my family of cat people, we all understand wrinkled, torn paper and fur on tape! Hubby’s family, sometimes have to explain.
    Need to get to post office, finally mailing cards. Have to get a few packages together first. Thought I had a couple of bubble pack envelopes, but apparently I have to buy them.
    Left a brand new bow unsupervised downstairs and Comet proceeded to chew it. Then saw Mac take a shine to it, but he preferred to toss it around rather than try to eat it!

    Adding my 2 purry cents from Simon:
    simon cookies
    Dig in kits!
    Happy Thoorsday from Brewtown to all!
    It’s grey/cold…but still greenish brown – not sure if we’ll have snow fro X-mas. That’s ok, had a long
    Winter last year!
    Well, java in hand – time to attack pile of billy buds on my desk.
    Wishing all a better than expected day.
    Hey Tux, Mwaah – smooch for you, later all!

    Hi Cafe people,
    just dropping in to savour the peace and quiet for a moment. One of those days at work……. Finishing up. Eating lunch at 5pm. And heading home any minute:) I have a webcam set up at home to check in with my girl, Drusilla, and she is having a lovely peaceful day. Lots of sleeping on her best blanket and rearranging of Christmas Tree ornaments. It’s hard work being a kitten. So good heading home to someone who will be pleased to see me!

    LOL, my furry trio agrees w/ Drusilla…yawn, after their 2nd cat nap since breakfast! Now it’s time for nomz/lunch!

    Me grabbing a few cookies w/cuppa brew & out to patio w/Tux for some mid day RR!

    Actually had a few Xmas cookies from boss’s MIL treat today, yum!

    Hope all are enjoying the day!

    Hi Jean,
    Just a quick pass-through and latte grab as busy am. Now off to stylist for hair trim – how to explain that I did my own in-between trim – they can always tell when one goes the DIY route! Oh well, will just have to ‘fess up. Wonder if tuxie kitty as Enzo will be there to defend me. Probably not, but might see him through the window as I come/go! L8R!

    Sounds familiar KJ – off to a trim tonight too! Usually just cut my bangs in-between visits!

    Good afternoon all!!! I was up very late doing cards, as some, I write long notes in since we only keep in touch once a year. All are done except two addresses I need to “find” as they were changed recently. What a relief that is!!!
    AV, that is SO cute about Abby taking the bows to her toy box!!! Awwww…. HA! I am forever searching for the tape and scissors, which hide under the wrapping paper!! LOL SO… frustrating… I’m sure Son and Dau would LOVE you to make cookies for them. They must be MEGA excited about coming home!!! Looking forward to hearing all about it. Did you see my request for pics of you mantel scene???
    Joan, glad you finally had time for cards! That is too cute about Comet and Mac enjoying a bow!!! Awww….
    JK… LOVE those Simon cookies! He is just the cutest kitty and I always enjoy his cartoons!!
    I used to make a few types of cookies many years ago. Choc chip, oatmeal raisin, cut outs, these Jello type that uses a cookie press which I made red and green ones. Also, peanut butter blossoms with the choc kiss on top, choc squares (a dough lined in a cookie sheet with melted choc over it and chopped nuts on top… what a great taste they have!) and LOVE those pecan tassies (my Dau’s favorite along with the kiss cookies). Oh, and Russian Teacakes ( the ones with ground up nuts, rolled in balls, and rolled in powered sugar). LOVE those too! I also used to make this fudge with layers of choc fudge with peanut better fudge on top cause my sister loves that! OH, the good old days… how I miss them. 🙁 When I was a little girl my dad and I used to make that pull taffy! I still remember making that in the kitchen with the corner fireplace going and all decorated for Christmas. I had such a wonderful daddy…… He was always trying something new and was such an interesting guy!
    We might be getting heavy rain for Christmas too, like MS. Haven’t watched the weather report yet today. Rain is much better than snow or ice though, so I won’t complain!

    Remember those sunshine, flat raisin cookies that came in 3 hooked together that were available when we were little? One of my customers just asked me about those the other day. They were YUM!!!! My Daddy’s and Dau’s favorite too!!!

    Simon’s Cat cookies, how cool! *waves to JK*
    Glad Dru has had a nice day Judith, and that your you are headed home to her.
    Have fun explaining yourself to your hairdresser, KJ!
    I remember those cookies, BB. They are so good!
    Got packages out to out of state family and did Christmas food shopping. Nice to have that done.

    That’s a cute pic JK – probably how cats think, that they are cuddling us!

    Hee hee – I’d like to be there about now today!
    Reminded me of your newbie Mac – did he venture back indoors today?

    Heads up on Otto!
    Was at nomz today w/fewer burrs in tail/Yay!
    Think it may have be due to help of another caring n’bor for there were very many/deeply imbedded.
    Now his tail looks a bit scraggly but he can lift it in air again.
    (“Tails Up” – happy memories of ?Paula J or was it Debster’s phrase?)
