My late uncle's two kitties are going to be re-homed [not through a shelter]. So they had to go to the vet today to make sure they are okay and all up to date.

It took three of us to capture them and put them in their carriers. And oh the crying and moaning......it was pitiful. I felt so bad. I know they were calling for their master who just won't be coming back......

They came home this afternoon and will be gathered again next week for the trip to their new home. They do get to stay together.

AND it turned out that my uncle was mistaken when he said they had last been to the vet in 2018......it was 2009!

$600! And of course it's out of our pockets right now because the estate money is frozen solid.

Poor babies. Maybe they went to a different vet in 2018.

May they have a very good home.

I forgot to mention, when I read it, what great news DR Ginny shared.

Huzzah!

Watching Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol. Sorry, Bob Merrill, but "charity" and "parody" do not rhyme. But I do love this.

Hard to believe that Thanksgiving was already a week ago.

What should I have for dinner?

A Christmas crostini tree!

I'm plum tuckered out.

Good night, friends.

I ended up having a salad for dinner.

I followed Magoo with Peewee's Playhouse Christmas special. I'm now watching the Reginald Owen version of A Christmas Carol.

We need to know where you had the very tasty cheeseburger and onion rings.
Thanks in advance.

I have a social membership at the Pine Ridge Club. It's mostly golfers and they pay through the nose, but a social membership 9for a modest monthly fee) allows me to dine in and to use their pool and attend special functions not on the fairway. So, I ordered from there. It's the best burger in town and the onion rings are pretty darned tasty, too. It hasn't actually been a treat since the pandemic. Menu is a bit restricted and if you don't reserve a table or get there by 6 p.m., you're lucky if they have anything available that they could prepared before 9 or 10 p.m. The's because they lost theiir sous chef and some staff and no one has stepped up to fill those gaps.

I got to see their Christmas tree on my way out

FWIW, I googled the croquembouche and realize I have seen those on the Great British Baking Show. Only they call them by a different name...someting religieuse...likening them to nuns. I don't really care what it's called. I could eat me some creme-filled choux pastries.

It's hard for me to believe that Labor Day has already passed us by.

Tomorrow is another day.

It is also the birthday of the fiancee of my cousin Butch, who is two years younger than I. He has planned for a party of 14 to surprise her at a new restaurant in the town of Edgefield, the seat of Edgefield County. Strom Thurmond was from Edgefield, just to give you some perspective of where I am and up with which I put.

At any rate, the eatery is called Christina's and it specializes in locally grown everything. I have heard only good things about it, so we shall see.

Yes.

It's in a building that "used to be" Nonna's...a rather chi-chi and very expensive (and SO not worth it) Italian restaurant. A plate of spaghetti with meat sauce was $25. You got a lot, but you really didn't want that much. A glass of red wine was $13. I have paid less than that for a bottle of very good wine (well...when I was in Italy). I went once and only once. I had two glasses of wine with my spaghetti and paid over $50 for the privilege. Oy!

Well, I see that I am alone here...no guests, either. That's the way it goes. And it's my bedtime, so nighty-night.

Good night, Ron.

I just got home.

After work, I went to my sister's to give my niece a STEPS hoody that she asked me go get for her on eBay.

George · « **Reply #171 on:** December 02, 2021, 08:34:13 PM »

It's for their current tour, and since my niece can't go to England, she buys their stuff online.

George · « **Reply #172 on:** December 02, 2021, 08:35:27 PM »

After I dropped off the hoody, I decided to go to Subway for dinner.

George · « **Reply #173 on:** December 02, 2021, 08:37:06 PM »

I got a chicken-bacon-ranch sub, but the price on the display board was less than what their computer terminal rung it up as.

George · « **Reply #174 on:** December 02, 2021, 08:37:45 PM »

The difference was less than a dollar, but still....

I just turned on my TV and Annie Live! is on, and it sounds like there's a laugh track.

John G. · « **Reply #176 on:** December 02, 2021, 08:47:16 PM »

Enjoy Annie, George.

I’m off to bed.

John G. · « **Reply #178 on:** December 02, 2021, 08:47:57 PM »

I have a four-day weekend. And there’s too much planned.

Just listening to the reprise of "Little Girls," Taraji P. Henson has a pretty good voice!
