Good evenng, Christmas family. The end of another weekend. Kind of sad. Not much going on here. The furkids and me are watching back to back episodes of Undecover Boss.....Kind of interesting where CEO's go undercover in their own companies and get a firsthand look at conditions, what the work is like, etc.
Had a REALLY scary experience this afternoon when I took the furkids out. Clancy and Hermione went galloping off to do their thing and I of course stayed with Wishbone. Within a few seconds of getting out in the yard with Wish a HUGE hawk started circling right over my head. I was standing stradling Wish so the hawk had no chance of getting to him. I was just kind of shocked that the stupid thing was being so aggressive. I know if I had not been out there it definitely would have dove and tried to get him.....Actually come to think of it, I didn't get scared, I got MAD. I stood straight up and dared the thing to come any closer. I respect animals of all kinds and hawks are among some of the most beautiful birds ever but not when they threaten one of my own. It circled over my head the whole time I was outside with Wish. I eventually picked him up in my arms and brought him in the house....
I have heard reports that hawks both WILL and WILL NOT attack small dogs. Well, I have news, this one def would HAVE.
Xmas - I hope your back and neck are better !!! xo
Bradmac and Seawaters - Praying that you are both feeling better xo

It's that time of year! Starting to select and assemble clips for this year's Christmas DVD! Still thinking about outdoor decorations, too. We don't have a ladder to decorate the roofline (and frankly, I wouldn't want either of us to go up a ladder to try), so I'm trying to think of other solutions. As I mentioned, maybe a pair of outdoor pre-lit trees in front of the house. I've also been wondering how icicle lights might look draped over the top of a hedge instead of hanging from the eaves ... do you think they'd sparkle through in case snow fell over them? Any other outdoor decorating ideas that don't require a ladder, for someone who isn't very handy with tools and hardware?

There are a lot of hawks in the area I live in, but usually when I see them they are circling way up in the sky. If they get to a certain point that I think is unsafe for the cats, I yell at them and they usually fly on. I think they might be used to me by now. As far as I know, none of the fur kids have been taken by hawk, but like you, I don't take any chances. {{{HUGS}}} for you, Wish, Clancy, Smokey, Hermione and Lily!

A pair of outdoor pre-lit trees in front of the house sounds perfect ~ simple and classic.

BradMac, It's good to see you here posting. I just read what happened to you tonight and I'm just glad that the doctors got you a hold of you quickly and got you under their control right away. Get plenty of rest and hopefully soon you will be back here posting away, your friends here are thinking about you and your family as well, someone was watching out for you my friend......
I am so sorry you are not feeling well....Hopefully if you get some rest you will feel better.....xo
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not for you, but one idea to look at (if you can) is to hire a handyman to put your christmas lights up at the roof line. There are alot of handy, reliable contractors (1 or 2 men) that are looking for work around that time of year. I have been reading about that it is one of the latest trends that contractors are doing in the cold winter months when there is not much outdoor construction going on. (just an fyi/ idea for you)

Ballcoach coming to your from the hotel....I just indulged myself and ordered a little room service. Nothing too fancy, but just a little snack to enjoy myself (shhh...don't tell my wife). Unfortunately, is was awful, but hey....it was nice to feel "big time".
Watching the Olympics....really getting excited! This has been a fun day. Won't get to watch much tomorrow or Tuesday, but I will get to see what happens Wednesday night.
About to keep reading the board, but lay in bed. Yall have a good night.

wow, what a busy night at work, especially since I was by myself since 8pm until we closed at 10 pm . Did manage to finish off all the work, not sure if I did the paper work right, but it is done!
Feels good to work hard.
Going to relax for awhile and then go to bed.

Good Morning, Fresh New Week Friends.
(Wait. That didn't sound quite right.)
Oh, well.
THIS sounds good:
Days to the Season: 106
Days to Christmas Day: 148
Under a week now until the 100-day Season Window opens on the beautiful landscape that is the double-digit count.
(Can't wait!)
Not too bad here weather-wise yesterday.
The temp was a bit lower as was the humidity. Had about an inch of rain the preceeding night but the day was dry.
We show 73 degrees here, currently.
OK.
May a Marvelous Monday be yours for the asking today!
