Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you?  What have you been doing?

We took the train to Philadelphia and celebrated Thanksgiving with our lovely daughter and son-in-law. The train was over an hr late getting in which put us on it for over twelve hrs and a good portion of that was spent with no working toilet in our car. Next year I think we are either going to try the sleeper or fly. 

Views from the train:

 

 

Thanksgiving.

Dinner as always was wonderful. We had a cheese board and crackers, and Christmas movies to see us through the day till dinner.

 

The squirrels and birds ate well too.

We went to Longwood Gardens Friday. (Pictures to follow.) Then headed home Saturday.

A few days later  we woke up to this:

Nori came to us Thursday.  We already have a problem. I caught her drinking my coffee. 

Frank is as big as she is.

Callie is still unnerved and is not impressed that her spot on my lap has been usurped  by the interloper.

That's it for now. Hoping to get one more post out before the Holidays. How are you doing?

Be well.

Not much going on here except.....

We are going to be getting a new addition to the family after Thanksgiving.

Meet Dori.

She was dumped out in the country and found her way to our friend's house.

No bigger than she is, I think Frank could take her:)

After Penny, I wasn't in a big hurry to get another dog, but she ticks all the boxes. Mainly, she gets along with cats, doesn't bark, is housebroken and laid back. The HH is naming her Nori after one of the characters in Rings of Power. She looks like a Nori, doesn't she?

Excuse the mess. My only excuse is that the plant is on top of the bookcase where I can't reach it.  I just held my camera over my head and took the shot.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it:)

What's going on in your corner of the world?
