Heather – Congrats on the lit department enjoying reading your story!! :bigsmile: I’m happy to hear your grandchildren will be getting their booster jabs.
Your cake looks wonderful.
Terri – Your Christmas tree is lovely!
Allie – It is wonderful that you had a good time at Trudy’s. I hope you are able to enjoy your friend’s house on Christmas Eve.
Machka – The silver snowflakes are lovely.
SueBDew – So sorry that your son has tested positive for the virus, despite being vaccinated. It doesn’t seem fair, but things have not been fair for many since the pandemic began. I hope he feels better soon.
Rita -Colitis is a difficult disease to deal with. I had it in the distant past and hope never to have it again. I hope you feel better soon.
Barbara – I did some research on Keeshond breeders a couple of months ago. It appears that litters will be more likely to occur after the New Year and may be available next spring. We are hoping it will work out for us.
Debbie - I remember the bubble lights well. I’m not sure whether we still have some in the garage attic.
This is a rainy day. I’m happy & feeling cozy inside the house.

I put a reminder into my calendar to do yoga on Monday nights. I'm so excited! There are such good yoga videos out there now. This won't be as much fun as a class, but it should be fun!
I'm doing my New Year's resolutions early. The biggest one is laying out a weekly routine that includes fitness and sticking to it. So far so good!
Diet fixes are coming!

Did you get on the list with the breeder to get a pup? My friends got a pure bred pup last spring and they were on a waiting list with the breeder they chose as their favorite. It took 3 litters to get to them on the list.

I just read that 50 people on the Season of the Seas Royal Caribbeans biggest ship contracted covid...
I would love to take cruise ,but not right now...no way
Today... i didnt do much tomorrow im going out with Doris..
Tracy wants me to come over during the day Christmas Eve.. but have to take Dan to get his booster .. so that could be a busy day and Christmas day could be quiet.. i could go see Sean and Jean then1 -
Sorry I'm not replying to all that I wanted to - I appreciate the hugs from y'all, and am happy when I say something that gives y'all some inspiration. Love the cake, Heather, and the story in The Guardian, and Rebecca, Athena is really out of the baby stage! I'm so sorry for the friends and loved ones lost, for the fears and apprehensions about those in the hospital, and happy for the recovered ones.
I feel like I'm losing brain cells every time I blow my nose, so I'm sleeping as much as I can. Talked to my daughter today, and moved her trip to next week. I am really hoping I'm better by Wednesday, but would rather be completely good, and am neutral on what day we celebrate. The covid test was negative, so it really is a cold. Was pretty sure, but worth testing to keep my grandbabies safe.
Love y'all,
Lisa
Oh, ETA - and blood tests results last week were much better!4 -
(((Lisa))) - Good news that blood tests were much better. Three cheers! 😊😇😘

Yay! I did some yoga. I didn't fall over! I can still go through my basic routine although I should hold each pose longer. I will get there.

The longest journey starts with a single step so congrats to anyone who has made a beginning on a new habit. Putting it off til you can accomplish something grand will keep you on the couch forever. Barbie in NW WA 7

Annie - congrats on your great start. Keep it going.
Pip - glad you were able to find new appliances.
Katla - hope the right puppy comes along.
Allie - DD and I are looking forward to a quiet Christmas day with just the two of us.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA2 -
Pfffft anf here I am awake in the middle of the night again or should I say early morning.. ugh..
Her c section is scheduled for 11:30 am on the 7th and will take about an hour and then they will get her into a room probably by 2..
She knows i want to come up but they are thinking that they just might wait until Saturday to let people come to.meet him and its only one person at a time and noon to 8 pm.. so we shall see. At least I hope they send a picture of the little guy.2 -
The Saga rep told me that anything that counts as a substantial change to the conditions counts as a reason to be able to cancel. Not being able to go ashore unaccompanied would be a substantial change, she said, because I asked about that specifically. So, I am just waiting to see what will happen by January 3rd, the revised date by which we have to pay the full balance. I do not want to lose our deposits, so the grounds for cancellation have to be from their side in order to get it back. We are hoping we can cancel, because all the uncertainty takes the joy out of it. We have another cruise booked to Iceland in June, which we really want to go on, as it's a long term goal. This one was booked before we knew about the Iceland one.
It all must be a nightmare for them.
Glad I'm not involved in the hospitality industry at the moment. My son is, as he markets non-alcoholic drinks to venues.
Getting up for breakfast in a minute. No cup of tea in bed this morning as the kids will be arriving in an hour.
Lisa - Oh, I wish it were the Guardian! Unfortunately, it is a popular tabloid, The Daily Express. I've never read it.
It was Robert Maxwell's rag. The Saturday magazine is where the story will go. It's one I wrote probably twelve or so years ago and was twice as long, with a different sub plot. I ditched the sub plot and cut, cut, cut it. Ended up with 1200 words. Phew! It's set in Whitstable, where we had a house for a few years. I think I could copy and paste it into a spoiler, but I'm not sure. I will have a go nearer the time. There is nothing in it now, after cutting, to 'frighten the horses'. I'm quite proud of it though. 'Fit for purpose'.

Hey all! I am here and reading for a bit each morning; trying to stay caught up. Three more days of work this week, then I am on a plane to Texas.
Congrats to all who are meeting goals or attaining "surprise" achievements!
Beautiful pics of crafts, fur babies, and grandbabies!
Lovely to hear from our friends hopping on and touching base.
Hugs to all who are struggling this holiday season.
I will try to get a proper post up once I am in Texas.
Love and hugs to you all! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (kelly)4 -
That was huge fun and I am absolutely knackered!
Managed to drag ourselves, once they had gone, to the exercise machines and do a good stint. I will finish it off this afternoon.
Here they see playing 'Poohead'. The real name is a bit ruder than that. I told them they could call it Scheisskopf. 
It was lovely because the parents stayed for coffee when they came back to collect them and we had a good, long chat.
Lots of arguing etc, but we are already looking forward to Friday!
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Accountability:Chose well: BP
Bonus: made and wrapped fireball fudge, made and bagged Chex mix, baked almond crescents.
Just one thing:
Do good December.
21: Appreciate kindness and thank people who do things for you. Thank Joe every time I see the lights in the garage and on the fence.
Happy shortest day of the year! Longer light starts tomorrow. Whew, we made it again!
Joe did hook up the TV from the bedroom, which we never watched anyway. Bullet dodged.
Machka look forward to more pics of your beautiful nail polish snowflakes.
Annie, bravissima!
Heather “… he will not take instruction…” neither will Joe from me. What is it about husbands who will listen to any lazy, incompetent, grubby male but not to their intelligent, hardworking wives who love and support them? That frosting does not look like marzipan? “…nothing in it to frighten the horses…” :laugh: Bowdler would be proud.
the pic of the grands and Johnny playing cards. “Scheisskopf” :laugh:
SueBdew so sorry for your friend, ALS took Papa, it’s a horrible disease, but aren’t they all?
Rita, could you ask for a referral to a different therapist? No call from the first is not a good sign.
Debbie I loved bubble lights. Even got some “remakes” as an adult, but had to give them up. Those suckers were H O T and dangerous to trees. Might be ok in your windows…
Vicki ((hugs)) so many losses the sad season.
Rebecca the Athena-in-the-snow pics.
Katla what Okie said about getting on a breeder’s list. Means you can’t wait for the pup to choose you, but afraid that’s the way of the world now. Fingers Xd
Lisa glad C-19 test negative and REALLY glad blood work results were much better. Postponing Christmas for a few days sounds like a good idea.
Pip voting with your wallet, like Margaret said, yes!
Another day of choosing to make/pack goodies instead of taking dogs to powerline, doing SWSY or making up T’ai Chi and line dancing. Doubt the calories burned in the kitchen fully offset the “tasting” CI. All giveaway goodies made. Tomorrow will finish packing up and delivering. Then will trim the tree and get back to routine activities.
Lighter, lovelies!

We got the amazing news from my son and DDIL that Max has got a full scholarship to Lewis Old Grammar School. LOGS. This is a private school and very expensive normally. (Apparently he 'smashed' the exam!)
I am delighted for them and it will be great for Max, but neither DH nor me are in favour of private education. I refused to send my kids to private schools, despite the grandparents offering to pay for it. My kids went to the local comprehensive. DH taught most of his life in comprehensive schools in difficult areas of London.
However, DDIL went to a famous school on a cello scholarship, so ...... We just keep our mouths firmly shut.

I contacted a dog breeder several months ago. At that time she was looking ahead to 2022. I will contact her again.0

Katla my colitis is called microscopic collagenous colitis and will never go away. No cure but will go into remission. Mine depends mostly on what I eat. It will act up to no reason too. Adds a great deal to my anxiety levels. I also have to take a low level expensive steroid that helps keep it stable. No fun.
Enough doom and gloom! I mailed out my Christmas gifts yesterday, later than I usually do, but done. I also bought two Christmas socks for DH and I, then proceeded to fill them. Had fun doing that. Last evening a friend called and had me over to watch a Christmas baking show. We watched 2 episodes while polishing off a bottle of sangria. Nice day overall.

Sending hugs Rita. I hope you have a good Christmas. You really deserve it.
