Something About Nothing..........# 10

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

This is what I meant when I said, typical Husky pup who gets into everything ...






Actually here is a shot of part of the family. L to R: me and the mother, Lee and Zephyr, Cecile the French translator with Zephyr's sister Breezy, Gabrielle the French lady with Zephyr's brother Zach (who is now in France) and Annette our good friend and dog breeder with the dad. And no comments on how terrible I look please!!

How do you celebrate the Christmas holidays?
do you go away, have family in, do parties, get togethers with family or friends?

We stay at home and have always done so. But we do live away from family so visiting not really an option. My mum used to come the first couple of years after my dad passed away, but it gets too cold for her here in the depths of winter so she goes to my sis house.

Sometimes our Christmas dinner can be at night if DH has to work. This year he is off from the 17th till 27th So dinner will be around 3pm.....full turkey and trimmings. I also cook a gammon joint so for the next few days we just nibble on cold cuts, smoked salmon, large shrimp, snacks, dips and treats. No real cooking for a few days. We go to a friends house on Boxing night or they come to us and again we just snack and have a few cocktails and the kids all get on great, they are teenagers too so it`s a lot of fun.

I like being home Christmas day.

Joining for definite! I love Universal- it has it's own magic and I hate it when people compare it to Disney. We even stayed at RPR last trip and ADORED it. I wish we had longer then one night because it was a gorgeous resort but so expensive.

Hi Sparkly Welcome.......definately hang around with us


Bonny........All the dogs are gorgeous......but Tanner is amazing. He is so beautiful. You are very lucky to have such lovely animals

The weather has been beautiful here...highs in the lower 80s for the past few days and this weekend looks great too! No rain though but it's the dry season now until spring so not much in the way of long rain storms. I'm planning on heading to the Studios Saturday evening for the festivities (parade and concert). It should be lots of fun.

Oh my goodness it`s hard to watch this series!!! We`ve just had episode 6 where we see just how much of a fruit loop Thredson really is!!!!!! I really liked his character in the beginning. Poor Lana and poor Shelley. It`s so awful. And I`m really liking and feeling so sorry for Sister Jude!! Where is pepper????

I thought I heard Dylan McDermott`s voice at the end of this episode when the cops answered the phone in the present day scene, but his name didn`t appear but sounded so like him. I watch through fingers usually but loving it at the same time. Looking forward to Frances Conroy. But they are all fantastic in it. Lily Rabe is a riot Loving her character too.

I`m not at all jealous of the weather you`re having Enjoy your weekend though



Just been out grocery shopping and finally got some Christmas stuff. Cards, wrapping paper and labels........it`s a start. Got most of DS`s presents already and Scotland is sorted. Just stuff for DH and I now, oh and one of my my friends. Will get that done next week.

It`s bitterly cold but at least it`s sunny with no snow today. One of our newspapers today had the headline "coldest week in 20 years coming" We have that to look forward to next week!!

Quiet weekend planned. Lasagne for dinner tonight and hot hot hot curry tomorrow night

Beautiful dogs!

It's freezing cold and rainy here. Worst, my radiator doesn't want to know so it's like Antarctica in here! I spent most of today in bed where at least it was lovely and warm. I'm more then ready for Christmas, if only for some new surroundings and to spend the time with my family.

Has Tinker-Tude been back with her cranberry sauce recipe with marmalade yet?? Hope I haven`t missed it.

I have made some lovely marshmallows coated in white chocolate then rolled in dessicated coconut They are delicious. Just trying not to eat too many

I`m always in awe of just how much snow Bonny and Lee get.........I shiver just looking at it.

Hey Mac......Hope you and St Lawrence are doing ok

And where is Vicki????? Miss you

Pouring my first glass of red wine of the weekend

I like that idea! We have to put our tree up on a platform so bad dog (she who looks and acts like a tasmanian devil) doesn't eat it....where did I go wrong

good weekend all

[Lynne G]

Love the dog pitures. I had bad dogs too. Our tree didn't have ornaments except at the very top, as my one lab liked eating glass Xmas balls, and the tree stand is still screwed down to a large piece of wood and the tree used to be tethered to a screw in the wall, as my other lab liked to climb up inside the tree.

Our current dog is a boxer, and is more civilized around the tree.


Rain and cold today. Now that I have an AP, USO keeps sending me mail. We miss it. And right now, sun would be nice.

[macraven]

one year i had to put the christmas tree in the playpen.

one of my boys at the age of 18 months, ate a glass ornament off the tree.
xrays showed he was okay and he passed all of it without injuries.


took the kid out of the playpen and put the tree in it.

no more issues with littles getting into the tree then.


now it is just the new kitty of 3 months and the cat that get into the tree.

Thanks Mac.! Glad to hear you are getting better.

My labs were great dogs. Never needed a pillow on my lap when feeding my kids when they were babes. Lab's big block head always under the babe. My cat never liked indoors, loved outdoors, and left birds, insects, and rodents on the door step. Ew!!:scared1.
