A pre-Christmas storm

Children always put a different spin on things, especially snow storms.

This column from 1985, had us all trapped home for three days. That doesn’t seem like much compared to life these days.

I hope you enjoy this retelling.

I’m looking for snow today, but I don’t think we’ll get any for Christmas this year.

Darn

I set aside a pail of water to take outside for the chickens. Car-E discovered it and soon it looked like he wanted to take a bath.

Car-E is a big cat with kitten mischief.

Though it looked like he was ready to get into the water, he only got his feet wet.

I’ve been having fun watching Car-E playing. Though I try to catch his antics on video, he’s so fast I only get a few seconds.

Here are a few of my video efforts with that cat.

6 seconds playing with paper cup

9 seconds watching Sunny drink

8 seconds playing with cap

You have to be on your toes to keep up with Car-E

I wasn’t going to hang anything on my tree this year. The fiberoptic lights are my favorite feature.

There are now a few angels hanging on my 4 foot tree.

Maybe a few more ornaments will appear….but that’s a big maybe.

Here’s my newest fun acquisition for Christmas.

These stars are my real decorations for the season, except for a lighted, but undecorated tree.

I like them so much, I ordered 3 more.

These stars are dedicated in Bob’s memory.
