Jane’s got pixxxx—of the decor—and Abbey’s blogging regularly again. And me—I’m sitting here with my cat on my arm—she’s sure she can help me type—and contemplating a store run to get some lastminute items. Happy holidays to us all!
Joyeux Noel a tous!
Would you get me some scotch tape? I need to do a bunch of wrapping, and I’m a bit low. Been out once today, and I’ll wrap with duct tape before I go back out. Blizzard warning in Oklahoma. Hell may be freezing over. At least the sleet has changed to snow. Oh, Lawton is catching it. I-44 is already closed from the state line almost up to OKC, and we have at least 4 more hours of this.
Sheesh—good luck, Elaine!
The very best of wishes from all of us:myself,Py,
Juice,Silver and Miss Kitty! To all of you!!
Have a very Merry Christmas !
It’s sleeting up in TUL right now. I-44 is still open at least as far as the MO state line.
And a very Merry Christmas to all from myself, Gabriel, Casey, Abigail and Belle (4 felines).
And good luck, TulRose! Hopefully you’re snug at home!
TulRose, channel 9 is now reporting that all OKC metro Interstates are now closed.
The hotels are going to be full tonight. Here’s hoping everybody finds a place.
I-44 up here is still OK though it’s very nasty outside. The storm is doing the usual things for storms, tornados, etc … straight up the interstate SW to NE.
Channel 8.3 is giving blizzard warnings for the City heading up towards us.
Merry Christmas!
Best Wishes for all this holiday season. It will freeze in Houston tonight. Hell is indeed freezing over.
Merry Christmas from me and my gang! (Trink, the greyhound in the avatar, and Rana-cat (my little 6-pound tabby spitfire) and Pyret (the elegant black and white kitty). Trink and I did a little Christmas trip out to Solvang and Hearst Castle, with a little time spent out on the beach. Wasn’t at all sure what Trink would think of it… she isn’t exactly a brave dog, especially with very unusual situations, but turns out that she loves the beach. She seems to find the scent of ocean water fascinating. And when I turned her loose on the off-leash beach, she happily trotted down to the end of the beach, sniffing at all of the piles of washed-up seaweed, and then happily ran out into the ocean! And she does this cute little play-bounce when she is happy. Picture how antelope spring around to show predators how fit they are, and you have a very good idea of Trink when she is playing. Now… picture a very black, deer-like dog doing that in the waves as they are rolling into shore. Cute beyond belief, and of course I didn’t have the camera with me at the time.
Is she a rescue greyhound. i.e. ex racing greyhound?
Yes, she is. She raced out in Florida (Flagler/Mardi Gras/Palm Beach), so it is remotely possible that she’s seen ocean before this, although it doesn’t sound like they take them away from the track while they are running, so I really doubt it. I adopted her out in Texas (she’d been used as a breeder at a farm up in Oklahoma), and then we moved out to California, so she’s been from one side of the country to the other. Not too bad for an ex-racer!
Awww…cute puppy!
Merry holidays to you all
And a Happy Yule to all!
I’m sitting next to a black cat atop a warm radiator (the big, cast iron kind) and brown bunny stretched out luxuriously at the foot. I’ve just finished updating my own, Save Samburu blog (about the ongoing crimes against humanity by the Kenyan government that I mentioned once before) and am about to go try to felt wool around some handmade soap (hope springeth eternal for starting and finishing one more Christmas present). There’s also the scarf I want to finish knitting for my sister and toe of sock for my uncle. And I think house guests are just arriving….
Gotta run. Merry Christmas to all!
Lynn gave Jane one of those felted soap bars, as I recall, for her birthday—I was dubious, but it’s a really great idea. Nice things.
And a happy occasion for all! I’m off to have Christmas Eve…
A very Merry Christmas 2009 to all of Closed Circle and your friends.
I hope that this is a joyful Holiday for you.
And that the Closed Circle becomes as successful as you wish it to be.
I have enjoyed reading your work for years.
Please keep on providing us with such enjoyment.
You fan,
Geoff Thomas
Just the fringe of it here north of Dallas is enough. Such winds! Pictures from 3 this afternoon at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=43237&id=1052761970&l=1c394f3321 And on Tuesday it was 70°!
Joyous noise to us all… And many happy returns of the page!
Presently suffering from a video card dying as I type… back when I get my new computer set up to cure video and other issues.
The Merriest of Christmases to all……may many visions of sugarplums dance in your heads. Breezy (spirit shepherd of the woods) is romping in the snow. Aloysius and Kiki La Sois are sitting by the slider waiting for the Bird Show to begin and Friendly (Queen) Kitty is asleep under the tree……and I am drinking tea and wishing joy and happiness to all of us here on Spaceship Earth.
Merry Christmas to all from Birdie, Sydney, and me.
It is windy, raining, and all of the snow has been washed away, so it’s a Wet Christmas here in West Central Ohio.
Having in-laws in OKC, I certainly hope they’re all right, and that people who were stranded by the storm have a warm, safe place to stay.
OKC had 14+ inches, a record for them. We here in TUL only had 5+. Lovely day out there now.
A very Merry Christmas, CJ and Closed Circle friends! We woke up to 6″ of snow with high winds this morning. The interstate north of KC is closed, so we’re tucked in and not traveling this Christmas. Visiting family in Nebraska will have to wait until a better weekend. Dogs are bounding through the drifts chasing squirrels, and the birds are hanging onto the feeders outside quarreling over seeds. More hot cocoa, anyone?
At this stage of the game, a merry post-Christmas to all! No snow here. Monsieur Napoleon Bonaparte (“Bony”) is outside meowing plaintively for breakfast, after turning up his nose at turkey leftovers yesterday; fool cat. DH is noodling about on the computer and I’m cleaning up the last bits of yesterday’s festivities.
I’m trying to recover from the catastrophic video card crash on my computer this last Tuesday. Fortunately, the family had pooled their pennies and number one son was building a computer for me as a Christmas gift. Unfortunately, I can’t read the screen to get my internet favorites or my address book and find the outlook archive files for my email. I need to go get a cable to attach my old hard drive into my new computer. Otherwise it was a super Christmas.
