With decorating, there is always something to strive for.

I kitty-sat in a  home today that was the same style and lay-out as my own but much more beautiful inside. It is so strange to walk into a home and see what your home could look like with some changes. The house is a duplicate to mine but they have added a sunroom at the side and opened up a wall so that the dining-room and living-room are one. She has two beautiful chairs arranged to separate the two rooms. It doesn't hurt that the home is filled with antique treasures. WOW! And there snuggled on one of those gorgeous chairs was Josephine. What a pretty cat she is and we had a great visit today.

I couldn't get her to stay still for a photo-shoot so this is all I got and here is one from the last visit we had.

Nice, eh! She is impossible to photograph but look at those cute little floofy bloomers.  (South end of a northbound cat)
Later today, the doorbell rang and it was a couple who live a few doors from us. In her hand was a bag of what looked to be the most delicious cookies I have ever seen. Sure enough they were for us. I thought that was the sweetest thing for them to do. They were going door to door handing out beautifully wrapped bags of home-made delights. Look at this.....

I have already polished off 3. See the little round white one....Oh mama! I'll take 12 of those, please. How is that for nice neighbours? I hope they have a wonderful Christmas.

Tomorrow it is lunch at a good friend's home and I think she ranks right up there with my mom and my mother-in-law as one of the best cooks ever. She also is a health NUT and knows more than Dr. Oz when it comes to health & wellness. I always come away from her just a little smarter in that area. I just love our get-togethers and I better have all my cats cared for before I drop in because our gab sessions  always go a lot longer than planned.

Tonight I'm still working away on some DIY gifts..........

5 more days, folks
