I wanted to take a picture of my Christmas Cactus this morning and Charlie had to come and see what I was doing... Aren't cats great. I couldn't have gotten him to pose like that if I tried. I had the cactus outside all summer and when I brought it in I put it in this big pot ( couldn't find the right size) and a week or so later it started to get buds. I thought I was going to have to throw this plant away but its getting pretty now. I guess all it wanted was some fresh air and a bigger pot, :>)
I still don't think I want to do Thanksgiving this year... I have done it and done it and I think its time for a nice long break. I have done it every year since we were married except for the 2 first years when we go invited somewhere else. It was fun in the beginning but after the kids started getting married and having kids, well it was still fun but every year it seems to have gotten harder and harder and I got pooped out to put it bluntly. You see I always do everything and with feeding 24 its just too much. Thats why noone else does it because its too much. I still haven't told the kids though so we shall see.
Today I got caught up on all my mending. Leo surprised me with 5 pair of jeans he said he wanted shortened and I did 3 pairs of pants for me and made 2 little pillows. Now I have to go to the store and get Gary a tape he wants for his birthday today and see what I can come up with for cake and ice cream for him. Leo went fishing of coarse.... Its cold out but nice and sunny and he said fishing is coming to an end and he wants to see his friends and catch another fish or two...
So that is our day so far. Hope the sun is shinning for you too, Sandra

He's a cutie! What a great shot!
I don't blame you for nowt doing Thanksgiving for all of those, I'd be pooped too. You've done yours, let them take a turn. :) Let us know is Leo "catches the big one" LOL...or is it the "one that got away"?
xoxoxo
Christmas cactus and cat make a very nice picture. Paula
Isn't Charlie cute? I know what you mean about posing our cats. It doesn't happen!
I think I agree with you. 24 people to handle by yourself is exhausting. You need to enjoy the holiday and not be a slave to the kitchen.
I love your cactus ! I never seem to have any luck growing them . This year I'm having 16 for Thanksgiving. Nine are missing-as they are too far away to come.I love it when they come - but it is a lot of work. Maybe you all could all go out for dinner together ! That way you could still see each other and not have all the work! Or maybe you could just have them for dessert - and have everyone bring something to share ! Just a few thoughts. ' On Ya ' - ma
