Aloha Dughlas

Ugh, my head aches. The day started with a mild cold front having pushed through. That was fine as it brought more seasonal weather. However, the front is now moving back to the north bringing much more humid air with it. While the temp is a seasonal 60/15° the humidity is 96%. I first felt the change near the end of worship service, by the time we finished brunch the whole left side of my head felt swollen and achy. Now I'm dressed in a long sleeve tee and pj bottoms trying to relax in hopes the migraine doesn't worsen.

Blessed be my brothers and sisters.

Rest easy Marty Cooke wherever you may be, you are greatly missed.

Hi Dughlas,  I am new here, but read many of your comments on many of the stories we both seem to like and really enjoy those comments. I ♥️ your teasing of Headstall. It has left me laughing several times.  Sorry you are not feeling good.  My best wishes and prayers go to you for a quick recovery.

Hey gang

We've put up the Christmas tree yesterday evening. Now Looping is having a blast hiding under it and attacking everyone - human or cat - when they walk by  at last he's not climbing in it. 

I'm staying at the house one more night as I've woken up with a massive pain in my whole upper right back and didn't felt like driving in that condition. 

I hope you're all having a nice end of the weekend

[Albert1434]

Aloha Clo Looping is so cool

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks clochette, and I hope your back pain is gone soon.  I had a cat that love to attack me from the dinning room table as I walked by him.  He just couldn't stand to be passed by without getting his due worshipful petting.  😀

Hey, Tink.  It's fun to hear about the Christmas tree, but I hope your back problem resolves itself quickly.

Mom was part of a child minder association. Every year they'd do a little Christmas theater show with games, a raffle, cakes and drinks for the kids and families. 

Due to covid they didn't do it last year. This year with the current restrictions they couldn't do a show so they created a mini village and each child minder did a "house" from recycled materials. There was the post office, a hotel, a school... and the first one when entering the tent was the nursery "Chez Cathy" in tribute to my mom. Each house was on sale in a silent auction but this one they're offering it to us. I couldn't hold my tears. It's gorgeous and mom would have love it.

The first one with the sign "Chez Cathy" on the right is hers. 

It is lovely!

That's nice.

We're hosting Christmas this year (the 24th dinner and the 25th lunch). This year I'm planning on making a real ham. Dad's even ask for it. Now I just have to find a gammon ham but I've never seen one at the butcher. I'll have to ask around. I've only ever seen those massive +10kg hams to cook with the big bone in the middles 🤷🏻‍♀️
