18 Days of Christmas for Cats

Burger lost his chapstick within a few minutes of leaving it on the kitchen counter.  When he got a flashlight and looked under the stove, oh my!  

Many missing mice.  

And the chapstick.  

And other stuff.

Morgan got the yardstick and dragged everything 

out--with some help from kitties.

Final count--sing along with me--18 mice, 10 bottle caps, 5 dried beans, one little duck, one chapstick, and (not shown) one ball of Gracie dog fur.

The kitties deny everything . . . as usual.

I saw deer

in our field on my way home from work today.

The first photo is from the road.  

(It was getting pretty dark--I had to lighten the exposure a good bit.)

This second photo is from the top of the hill--I tried (unsuccessfully) to sneak up on them--there were actually two . . . see their pretty white tails?

On the way home from Oglebay . . .

we stopped at an ATV store, 

and Cabela's.

What can I say?

I get bored.

Oglebay Winter Festival of Lights

We stayed at Wilson Lodge at Oglebay.

Very nice.

PURPLE poinsettias?

The Oglebay Family mansion.

Burger & poinsettias.

The lights were fun;

we rode through twice.

The 12 Days of Christmas.

One of my favorites.

Charlie Brown & the gang.

Church.

Chinese dragon--he breathed "fire."

The Garden of Lights walking tour.

House.

Nativity.

Another tunnel of lights.

On the lake.

We could see these from the dining room.

Blue . . . ?

Outside my door this afternoon

Lonely road

at night in the dark and the snow.

This is what happens . . .

. . . when I get bored waiting

for my husband in Walmart.

Hehe.
