Christmasing up the house

I have not hung tinsel on our trees at Christmas for over 20 years. It can do serious damage to a cat's intestines, if ingested. Please avoid it if you live with cats or dogs.

Christmas is making its' way through our house now. The garland was strung on the staircase and my moveable ornaments are hung for all to enjoy. Yes, including Audrey.

"Sure beats this stupid bird tree?"

Audrey spends half the day on the stairs now. 

This year I will not be placing my Santas up the stairs as Ed uses the wall as a guide to travel up and down. He leans his body against the wall as he comes down so to give himself support because of his doofus back leg. He figured this out all by himself because my cats are the smartest in the world. ;-)

Off to cat-sit and meet a friend for coffee at our little book store. It's called Reads Book Store. Love that!
Great organic coffee, wonderful pastries and beautiful books to browse through. Aisha, the owner asks, "So, how's that cute little grand-daughter doing?" This happens to be one of Riley's favorite go-to spots.
I'm doing as much shopping in our local towns as possible this Christmas. Supporting the small local businesses is the only way to keep their doors open.  Next, it's off to Almonte's little shops to see what they have & enjoy some lunch with two ladies I need to do some catching-up with..
Enjoy your day.

hugs, Deb
