Holiday Season 2022 - Decorating the Tree

Friday, December 23, 2022

Sylvester watches while I decorate the tree. 












Holiday Season 2022 - Cigar Time

Wednesday, December 21, 2022


The bomb cyclone hovering over the nation and the blizzard and cold conditions with it are causing quite a headache for folks, to put it mildly. Travel has been disrupted and people are dealing with being out of power and heat in many places across the country. 


Lit up a small cigar which only took about 20 minutes to smoke. Being really bundled up and a lack of wind made it tolerable. 



Holiday Season 2022 - The Christmas Cat

Wednesday, December 21, 2022


I've been on vacation this week and Sylvester doesn't seem to be thrown off by it one bit. I've used some of my extra time to work on some ancestry stuff which has caused the end-table I sit by to become quite cluttered with resources and other materials I use in my research. Oddly enough Sylvester has decided lately to make this his perching space of choice despite how crowded and messy it is. He's just too cute. I consider him my Christmas Cat because he came to us last December in the middle of the month. He's one of the best Christmas gifts I've ever gotten.

Holiday Season 2022 - Christmas Cards and Setting Up the Tree

Tuesday, December 20, 2022

Walked some Christmas card up to the mailbox this morning. Only received 4 this year and sent out that many myself. It just continues to be not as big a deal anymore. 

Also, got the tree up...

...and the lights on. Decorations can wait.
