Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written on the night before the day of the night of the Do, and now it is time for you to post until the day of the Do cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: HEARTSTRINGS!
-
A Very Happy Christmas Eve day to all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
At last, some progress! The cold has broken and I feel somewhat better. I actually slept well last night with Thatch at my shoulder and Annabelle at my knees.
-
I must step out this morning to pick up more turkey for their treat. I will stop at a CVS as well and check out their cold-flu section.
-
Merry Christmas to one and all!

Good morning !
-
I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better, DR elmore!
-
Hope you’re feeling better, DR TCB.
-
There’s no snow here in West Seneca right now, but we are expecting a little today. It may be a White Christmas after all.
-
I have only one more gift to buy. That’s pretty good for me.
-
Well the tree is decorated!!
-
I am pleasedto hear Elmore is feeling better
-
Feel better vibes for TCB
-
T.O.D.
Good health.
-
Feel better vibes for TCB
Ditto!

Bed made, litter cleaned, second cup of coffee, so I must be on the mend. Yesterday, in my drugged state, I left the deli turkey out after their noon treat. I figured I'd let it stay at room temperature, and the cats would finish it off last night. At 8:00PM I couldn't find it. I have no idea where it is, if I absent-mindedly tossed it with the garbage yesterday at some point, or if it's rotting away somewhere in the apartment. Well, I'm off to market very shortly.

Christmas Eve greetings! All the creatures are stirring in our household, but Rob will crash soon because he just got home from work. I’m about to start some cooking for tonight and tomorrow, Richard is just returning from Central Pastry, and Mary Linda is puttering. We’re expecting Santa early so we can celebrate Christmas with them before they leave for Michigan tomorrow morning.
-
DR Elmore, check your email!
-
DR Elmore, check your email!
I did. thanks.
-
DR TCB I hope you are feeling better today.
-
DR George have you ever had the Schwann's before? I am curious as I have never tried it.

Excellent news.

Are these stops walking distance or do they require a bus trip?
-
There is NOTHING like the day a cold makes its turnaround. Congrats, DR Elmore! (Just remember it’s all too easy to overdo things and start feeling crappy again!)

My guess is the cats finished it off before 8:00 but where is the wrapper ;)

An excellent reminder.

My words exactly — but over three weeks ago! We’re early tree people here.

It’s snowing !

The tree has been up since thanksgiving weekend but I couldn't get motivated to crawl into the crawl space do retrieve the ornaments until lastnight
-
I need to do a total reconfiguration if our storage system. Thatcrawl space is hard on the knees and the head
-
Two!
-
Good afternoon, all!
-
I like an early tree. Right now I miss having any tree.
-
Glad you are feeling better, Elmore. Continued vibes.
-
I tried to close down the Post Office today - but they decided to stay open and deliver mail today.....that's how much power I have.
I had heard that today was a Federal Holiday - but the USPS is no longer a Federal Agency.
-
Santy Claws is reading Night Before Christmas on Channel 59.....he needs some reading and or acting lessons....
-
TOD:
More paid vacation next year.
-
And he's made it first person.....my droll little mouth.....my beard....doesn't quite work.....
-
It’s snowing !
Im happy for you and your white Christmas. I'm just glad the rain has stopped here.
-
...and we’ve begun the eye drop routine in preparation for Richard’s first cataract surgery on Thursday.
-
I am cooking a pot roast today.....first time.....so we shall see what we shall see.....

My prediction is that it will turn out well, DR Jrand68. Most things like this are a simple matter of following instructions. Good luck, and enjoy!
-
We got a White Christmas Eve.
Less than an inch of accumulation, which will probably disappear this afternoon. I should hoist my bloomin’ arse out of this recliner and take some photographic evidence.
-
Done. Will post later from the computer.
-
TOD
My children for Christmas, for the year a healthy grandchild.

Um, my guess is they DID finish it off last night -- by jumping onto the counter.
-
I have been to the supermarket, the bank and yea,verily, the liquor store this morning and have lived to tell the tale
-
I have also been tochurch(the reason fir the liquor store run) I discovered yesterday we were nearly out of communion wine and with four services tonight and one tomorrow it was important to stock up
-
Off to shower and dress and then off to my moms where I will be making dinner
-
Since there are only 5 of us, and it's my brothers birthday tomorrow, and my sister in laws just passed and since the prices and the coupons at bjs made it affordable we are having a very fancy dinner
-
TOD
My children for Christmas, for the year a healthy grandchild.
Do you have a grandbaby on the way? Did I miss an announcement?
-
I can't put up my Christmas tree until the final party. I take my little tree over for decoration.
-
Bacon wrapped filet mignon, lobster tails, bacon wrapped scallops , and shrimp, rice pilaf, and broccoli
-
I have decorated it several times. Thanks to Leonard, who is happily playing in a paper bag at the moment. Probably with a Christmas ornament.

Nope, only answering the questions "Today’s topic of discussion: If you could have Santa bring you anything, what would it be?". ;D

This has turned into an unsettling morning. We have a young African-American USPS delivery truck driver I see maybe twice a year. He usually leaves packages in the hall under the post boxes, and if I see him, he have a cordial conversation. Last week I ordered a 20-lb bag of Meow Mix dry cat food, and he rang my bell so I let him in the building. I was getting sick but I was surprised to see that he brought the bag up to my door. I made a comment along the lines of "I thought this was coming tomorrow," and then he started hinting about a Christmas bonus. Today, as I was leaving doe market, he showed up at my door and said, you told me if I came back today, you'd have something for me. I closed the door and locked it behind me and said, "No I did not."
I used to give my regular postman a bonus, but the local post office is so screwed up, I don't even know who it is these days, but I'm certainly not going to give a bonus to a delivery man I very occasionally see who thinks I should! I will discuss this with the super when he stops by today to check my bathroom faucet.
-
I am grateful we have good delivery people here. Today the special package arrived, Bryan's gift to Keith. It is very special, a Dulcimer Bryan made using a cigar box. It is beautiful and rather fancy. He gave Keith a choice of accent colors and Keith chose gold which is why it is so fancy. There is more gold than I expected.
Brya added a sweet touch labeling it Mountain Dog. I about cried at that.

DR George have you ever had the Schwann's before? I am curious as I have never tried it.
Yes. It's been a while, though. But it's pretty good. Not as big as Costco's, of course. ;)

Yes, and indeed unsettling. That seems a little on the aggressive side, even by NYC standards.
-
Out here in the 'burbs, I got into the habit of tipping the regular mail carrier each December, and they were always very appreciative. After our last "known" one retired back in 2017, I never saw anyone again often enough to know whether they were the actual replacement or a substitute, so I simply quit and there's been no fallout from that.
Also used to tip the trash pickup man back when we had pickup at the house and I got used to knowing who it was every week. We eventually went to street pickups and literally never see who's doing it, so that's out, too.
-
Bacon wrapped filet mignon, lobster tails, bacon wrapped scallops , and shrimp, rice pilaf, and broccoli
What time did you want us to start showing up?
-
I think I will swing by World Market today & see what's on sale.
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep. As soon as I'm coherent I will start the sauce. Then I'll go back to incoherent.
-
I'm only here for the tips. You said if I came back today, you would have something for me.

Oh, dear, DR Elmore, now you may NEVER get the envelope from us...
-
Your envelope arrived in today's post. The truck deliveries are for packages and are not the same as the route walked daily by the postmen.
-
Photographic evidence of our WHITE CHRISTMAS EVE.
Now you see it...
-
Now you don't.
-
That's from ten in the morning to three in the afternoon.
Frankly, I wish that's how the whole winter would run this year.
-
Today I have made a huge batch of Lemon Lime Jello Pineapple Cottage Cheese Surprise (another of Richard’s favorites) for tomorrow and the rest of the week, put a cranberry-glazed pork roast into the crockpot for tonight’s dinner, helped Santa Richard fill the stockings, and decorated 4 dozen shortbread cookies. Just have to set the dining room table for the dinner we’re going to have with Rob and Mary Linda after church this evening.

Oh, good!
-
Signing off until after our Christmas celebration with the kids - bye for now!
-
Last night's party was ... well, the same as it is every year, but this year everyone just seemed especially up for it, present company included. Food, libation, and company were all great, and there were even two newly adopted (rescued) 5-month-old kittens to visit in the bathroom, their safe space for their first big gathering with company. I'll have to get that picture posted, too.
One shocking bit of news which began making the rounds was that one of our favorite couples there was either going through a rough time and "thinking" about separating, or indeed might have already begun that process. Sadly, it was confirmed this morning that divorce proceedings are indeed underway. They have three lovely children that they are both totally devoted to, so it's going to be an especially tough go. Both husband and wife are two of our finest regional actors, and he is a fine director. It's not a take sides kind of thing. We can only wish them both the best, and be there for support when needed.
-
Here we go. A little girl, and her brother peeking out from the carrier. Long haired black kitties, don't know if any special breed. And like all black cats, hard to photograph well.
They were permitted to join the party later when the crowd had thinned out. They already get along fine with the two large labradors -- who in turn are used to anything and everything that walks in, as it's a VERY animal friendly household.
-
DR George have you ever had the Schwann's before? I am curious as I have never tried it.
Yes. It's been a while, though. But it's pretty good. Not as big as Costco's, of course. ;)
Considering how rich cheese cake it smaller might be better ;) The important question is which tastes better.

What a beauty (referring to the top photo-can't really see the second cat).

Our last show has started! The house seems like a fairly good sized house. They've been responsive, so far!

I don't care which tastes better, just as long as they both taste good enough. :D
-
Back to the show...it's still going well!
-
Christmas Eve Do vibes for MR BK & Guests.
Yes indeed!
-
Spaghetti sauce is simmering away, I cleaned and put away stuff that's just been sitting on the floor like so much fish, and now I'm relaxing for a bit whist occasionally stirring the sauce.
-
Second act has started!
-
I think tonight Annabelle, Thatch, and I will watch the ballet of A Christmas Carol. I like Carl Davis' score very much and there's so much emotion in it. In the Christmas Yet to Come dream, Bob Cratchit's dance with the dead Tiny Tim's crutch is heartbreaking.
-
I liked DR CHAS SMITH's photos of the disappearing snow and the lovely new kitties.....
Sorry to hear about the friends....but there you are.
Vibes for RICHARD for his surgery preparation.....
-
Unlike DR ELMORE, I am not sure what I will watch this evening.
The pot roast turned out fine - but it wasn't really pretty enough for a photo....it will be nice to have for the next couple of days.

I enlarged the photos of the kitties and the second one is also very pretty.
-
I hope DR George's show ends as well as earlier reported.
-
Bruce have loads of fun at your party.
-
I hope DR George's show ends as well as earlier reported.
Thanks, Jane! It did! We're striking everything now. I was signed up to help move the set pieces, but nothing is being done with them right now, so I'm just sitting down and waiting to be told what to do...my kind of strike. ;)
-
;D
-
Well, it turns out that the set pieces don't have to go anywhere because the theater group who they borrowed them from isn't open, so I'm off to my parents' house!
Be back later!
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Very glad to hear that DR Elmore has turned the corner with his cold.
Vibes for continued recovery.
-
Mega vibes to TCB to feel better soon.
-
BTW, I like elmore's new avatar. Didn't DR Jose once advise us to turn to the side, then turn our head toward the camera?
-
I need to do a total reconfiguration if our storage system. Thatcrawl space is hard on the knees and the head
Same here. This apartment has quite a bit of storage for its size and I'm using every inch of it. One day when Brian is here we'll unload one of my closets and rearrange it.
-
...and we’ve begun the eye drop routine in preparation for Richard’s first cataract surgery on Thursday.
Ah. I'm sure DR Ginny is a pro at it, having just done it a few years ago.
Eye vibes to Richard.

It is. Keith took a partial photo which isn't great. I am going to wait until he puts it up on the wall in his office which might be awhile.

I delivered the last of the presents.

The package promised for delivery today really was!

I'm listening to A Carol Christmas.

It's an Arthaus DVD I've had since 2006. I love Carl Davis' work! He's an American who went to London in the 1960s and had a great career. I have a lot of his recordings. His score for this ballet is really wonderful: lotta carol adaptation, some singing, wonderful performances/
-
Have a wonderful Christmas Eve, everyone.
TTFN

Good :)

Good evening.

I am skipping the Christmas Eve service tonight, because there is someone I am avoiding: a person who thinks I am a social worker. At home I can not answer the door, but at the church, I can't hide.
-
I love my next-door-neighbors. They will keep an eye out and let me know if anyone is lurking in my driveway.
-
I need to find my "Scrooge" dvd and watch that tonight. I always enjoy watching that on Christmas Eve.

I want to pop a quaalude in her mouth and prop her in a corner to wind down.
-
The ballet was wonderful, the score was gorgeous, and Marley's Ghost made Thatch sit up in fright. Annabelle sang along to all the carols.
-
It is Christmas on the east coast
-
Merry Christmas

My brother and his wife decided to come 90 minutes later than rhet were asked to arrive
-
And my mother decided to make her hot crab dip and put that out with crackers despite my request of no pre dinner snacks
-
I had planned a 4 pm dinner but instead it was at 630 so we weren't done with dessert and cleaning up until 9:15 which meant I missed the 8:30 church service
-
But the meal came out wellqnd everyone ate everything up except the rice and broccoli
-
Tomorrow morning we will skype with the Vixter and Vixbeau
-
We have done this the past two years, opening presents together
-
We had no snow here but it did rain most of the day
-

The Do is Done and it was quite a good Do as Do's go. There were actually quite a few people in attendance - dear reader Leslie and daughter Alexa, Kay Cole and her ever-lovin' Michael, Adryan Russ and her ever-lovin' Dale, dear readers Amy and Mark and Meg (singingnymph), Shelly Markham, Elizabeth and Richard Sherman, Jimmy Mulligan, Sami and her mom, Doug, Dorathy, and daughter Hartley, with her hubby Bill, Robert Yacko, Alby Potts, Joanna Erdos, Richard Allen, Henry Stanny and wife Nancy Hoven, Marshall Harvey, and no Geissmans due to illness - I may be forgetting someone. I think we had a few more last year, but you would never have known that by the amount of spaghetti and tuna pasta salad consumed. They went through four pounds of pasta and a good deal of the sauce, which was proclaimed to be the best it's ever been.
-
The exit happened a bit after ten and then I cleaned everything up save for the spaghetti and pasta pots. I think everyone had a good time and it was so nice to see Sami again after four months away.
-
I'm pretty full. Almost everyone brought some kind of desserts, so there is an obscene amount of cakestuffs, someone brought K's Donuts, crumb cake, cookies, Bundt cake and on and on and on. I'm thinking about a K's donut, as I did manage to spirit one away just in case.
-
Good evening and.......
Merry Christmas!
-
I know it is a little early on the left coast, but for most of our folk, the day has arrived.
-
For our DR John, the day is half over.
-
Thank you all for the Get Well Vibes.
-
I wish I could say that the vibes worked completely, but not to be.
-
I am better than yesterday.
-
The chills are mostly gone, but the stomach problems have gotten worse.
-
I was totally zapped of energy today.
-
But I did make it to the store for juice and coffee creamer (Required items in my house).
-
I have gotten zero presents wrapped, or rapped.
-
I did manage to make the shrimp dip, but i didn’t bother to taste it, because I wouldn’t be able to tell how it tasted.
-
I guess I will just have to try and wrap stuff in the morning.

What a coinkydink! My family is meeting tomorrow at my sister's house, too! We're meeting at 2:00 pm, though. I'll get a little more time with my cat. :)

I think that is on in the morning.

Well, two out of the three (the one guy kneeling has a very slight build)...but they're all really nice guys.
