Ah, December 22nd, Friday night, all is calm and we have on all the lights. Well, not all but the Christmas lights they are on in full brilliance. Roy is watching McGyver, Buddy is in a chill pill stupor and I'm trying to blog. We are all a little drained and tired. Roy's plane had a delay and he got in way past midnight, more like one-ish. I had Miracle on 34th Street and White Christmas on AMC to keep me company and awake. My start to Charlotte was later than anticipated with a couple of my own unexpected delays. Stopped for supper at CB where everyone in the world was too. I ordered veggies cause that didn't take long but checking out was one really really long wait.
We hit the road a little after 9:00. I love road conversations with Roy. We were such Chatty Cathy's.
*****************************
It is now Saturday. We got so much done yesterday after arriving home. Roy got the well filter cleaned and we made a quick lunch stop at Turkey Creek Cafe. Then we got a few things taken care of around here before taking Buddy over to the vet for her steroid shot. Getting that chill pill down here was pretty tough this time. After her appointment I ran in The Fresh Market to get our steaks for Christmas day. Roy made his delicious tacos for our supper and we had the leftovers today for lunch. Yum! I put a roast and veggies in the crock pot this morning before heading out to run a few errands. Even now the fragrance of roast beef with the cinnamon, clove, orange and cranberry mixture on the stove making a lovely Christmas scent throughout the downstairs.
Roy is taking a much needed nap. I am watching two of the four Feral Fam. They haven't been around much and Cali and Camo are nowhere to be seen. Not odd for Camo but Cali sticks pretty close to her mom. It is MJ and Mama Cat right now and I hope against hope that Cali and Camo are safe.
We made a stop in at The Pink House. Love that place! Found a few more things and then we headed over to Ingles. Roy wanted to get some fruit to make a fruit salad and we found a few more things that needed to be purchased and make their way home with us. It is a cloudy and rainy day but the rain might be finished. Now we wait for the wind and the cold to blow in. Christmas Day the high will be 35. According to Accuweather we are on the edge of possibility for snow on Christmas Day. Our snow shovel was delivered the other day and we have a big bag of salt to melt the ice. My Kosher salt won't have to be sacrificed for safety.
Alexa is on station KHCB. They are playing Christmas music through Christmas Day. From time to time an old Pageant song from Houston's First Baptist is played. Good thoughts and memories.
Well, the sun is trying to come out. Think our rain event is over. Sounds like I should go out there and finish up my garage project.
