What are you doing?

[Gismo]

So, the past few days have seen one of my dogs being admitted to the major small animal clinic 100 miles away from me in Edinburgh.
Received his yearly booster jab and then coincidentally was unable to clot his blood.
He's had one blood transfusion and is in the ICU, still poorly

[Dan M.]

Oh no... I'm sorry to hear that. Is this the first time y'all have gotten it? Been reading a lot about COVID and H7N9 John Cullen off X. MY! Hope y'all feel better soon! Take Care.

Nah, we've both had it at least twice before.

[YB]

Strange how Covid seems to be on the increase, or did it never really go away.

Hope you are feeling much better soon, Dan

[Dan M.]

Got you guys beat. We both have COVID. I think we're on the mend though. Actually I'd rather have COVID than a 3 week sinus thing!

[4AMNTN]

Yep - I've had a sinus thing going on 3 weeks now. Just exhausted. I hope u recover & be able to get out there. (lets hope she doesn't get it too)

Managed to pick up the bug going about, wife working so happily no wandering about for me

[YB]

Thank You, Fours, and hope 2025 turns out well for all of us. Only 5 hours to go here

[4AMNTN]

If I can think it - or find it he'll (try) make it! WOW!

Yep NYE will be just like any other night for us. It's Tuesday so we'll have a dinner with a Mexican flair. Tomorrow morning will be a repeat of Christmas morning's.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF FRIENDSHIP. STAY SAFE HAPPY & HEALTHY.

That's really clever! Never seen an apple carved like a swan!

[YB]

Very pleasant few days with family & friends. Partying Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday/Sunday. That's it now for us. New Years Eve will be just Mrs YB and me. Too old for 3am parties now

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & visiting with family - if you did.
Elke at my sister's on Christmas Day - We drove down & I fixed breakfast: eggs, country ham, red eye gravy, hashbrown casserole, grits, biscuits & mimosas! YUMMY
THEN yesterday at my sisters with the FAMILY! she made a s'mores & hot chocolate bar! how neat!
***IF you zoom in - the swan -- Kevin carved that out of an apple! He's so talented! Love that. IMG_7749.jpg IMG_7748.jpg

Merry Christmas to you all. I hope everyone has a safe & happy day. IMG_7646.jpg

I'm looking forward to the Longmire short story that Craig Johnson sends out every year at midnight on Christmas day to the folks on his mailing list. I don't remember last year's but the year before was amazing.
