As Mr. T. says...I pity the fool?
Just a quick post to let you all know that we got some good news on Gracie tonight – all of her test looked OK and we are allowed to cut her most expensive medicine in half… she is hoping to eventually take her completely off of that! She was slightly anemic but it was so little they were not worried about it – they will just monitor it (and I have to wonder if that's not because of the food they have a her on?) And here is her photo after her grooming today:
Thank you snowflake – hope you have a great weekend too!
I wish Seawaters was still around she would pick you up in her Lear!Haha, if only I had my private jet
Good luck CS! No matter the outcome I know yours is beautiful and I can't wait to see a picture !!!

Greetings fellow Christmas enthusiasts!
On Tuesday night, my last night following the conference, I had the good fortune to stumble upon the Christmas Market in the distillery district of Toronto, Ontario.
I doubt the photos I took on my cell phone turned out so I'll have to share an adorable experience with y'all through my written visuals.
Three of my colleagues and I were looking for a spot to grab something to eat, the rain was putting a damper on our festive mood so standing and eating at vendor booths wasn't going to work for us.
One of the ladies asked an Elf who was guiding young and old visitors to Santa's lap. She was adorable!
She replied in the most delightful elfish manner, "I couldn't possibly give you directions since I'm from the North Pole and have no knowledge of the surroundings. Perhaps you could keep your eyes open for a human person wearing a vest and a Christmas Market badge for access to a map." We thanked her and went on our way.
We admired the decorations while the smell of mulled wine and cinnamon spices filled the air and the sounds of the strolling carollers (Dicken's style) sang beautifully in our ears.
There were snowman statues here and there and we stopped to snap a photo and there was the Elf again posing with the snowman. She passed again a short time later speaking elf-tongue as she passed only speaking to herself. One of my colleagues suspected she had gotten into that mulled wine. I was on top of the world with gratitude for how awesome she was and how "in character" she became. I said, "She's not playing an Elf, she is an Elf. The best Santas do the same thing and I know many of them."
P.S. We met up with 2 more of our conference buddies and wound up having dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory that was a 20 minute walk for most, but we hit it in 12. Guess we were hungry.
Here's a link if you want to see what fun awaited us there. http://www.torontochristmasmarket.com/
We didn't have to pay to look around.
Sweet dreams Christmas chums; keep a merry thought in your head!

It was a wonderful time, although shortened by the rain and chill in the air. We had talked about it since we arrived and weren't going to let the rain stop us from at least visiting there. I wanted to jump onto the MMC forums while I was at the airport, but the two computers I tried to use were "wonky" and I couldn't type in the "i" in my username so that was the end of that attempt.
Kept y'all with me on the plane especially when we flew above the clouds and they looked like a snowy tundra and I was waiting for polar bears and Louanne to appear. Something rather heavenly about being up there among the clouds and blue sky when it was duller down below us.
My ears were bothered just as before from the decent, but the pain didn't last as long. Today, I'm still struggling with dizziness a bit like vertigo I suppose. I imagine I'll get used to it eventually. Getting there in 50 minutes vs 4.5 hrs and the stress of driving in the "big city" where you crawl along through street lights 3 cars at a time.
I left without buying any Christmas gifts, I realized I didn't have enough room in my luggage.
When I was going through security and I had to stand in the "chamber" and raise my arms and remain perfectly still (as instructed), I smiled and said, "Beam me up!" The guard laughed and said, "Seriously, stand still."
Well, I'll bet I made their day unless everyone says it.
