OOhh, I found it. That is a pale green swan with a gold-plated beak. A very large swan, now residing in the bathroom.It was green...next to a chair?WOW!!!!!!!! Thanks for all that Christmas cheer, Gracie. Very heartwarming, sweetie. However, I don't have a cat statue so am wondering if you just saw my beautiful feline of solid black?Meanwhile...seeing AquaAthena beautiful house and decor..got me motivated to do more in mine. I could use more artwork, but I tend to hang tapestries instead of paintings and prints. Those fold and are easy to transport..better than canvas and frames. And during an earthquake, won't konk us in the head when they fall, lol. Plus, they are beautiful and have a multitude of uses. Drape over a couch, hang on the wall, cover up with them on cold nights, etc.
And..I adore AquaAthena. Beautiful woman, beautiful soul. It just shines every time she posts.
PS...LOVE her vases and that cat statue!!! I like floor decor too.
Oh, so sorry and sad. Poor little one going over the rainbow bridge and at such a young age. Can't stand the thought. I am relieved to know you are going to be by her side. I have done this with my dogs and cats, too. Had my hand on them and talking soothingly as the Dr. injected them. A tearful time for me, always, and I have to drive 50 miles just to help me over the coming back home to the absence of the precious ones, An empty nest. Goodbye, little Abby. You were loved.Speaking of cats..I am taking Abby in to the vet tomorrow to have her put down. I did all I could for her, but now she is getting paralyzed in her back legs and its getting worse. MRI's cost a couple grand, which I don't have, and other tests will rack up to 5 to 700 bucks, which I also don't have to spare. I don't want to take her to the pound cuz they will just gas her. I want to be there when they do it, so she knows she is not alone when embarking on her journey over rainbow bridge. She is only 10 months old, too. Vet said last vist she probably has cat leukemia, and possibly lymphoma. Now with this not being able to walk and just laying all day cuz of that, I see no other way to address this except to put her out of her misery.
Whoa...boy does that bring back a memory! Sloe gin and I met one night when I was 18 and it tasted so good I drank too much of it too fast and the following few hours spent in a daze followed by bringing it all back up and suffering a tremendous headache for two days. Have not had a drop since! May you enjoy a better experience than I, Roy!I mentioned to my wife it would be nice if we had a bottle of sloe Gin to offer our guests this year, no sooner said than done, she bought one today.
I remember tasting it at a gun fair years ago, my eldest son was 18months old so that is 38 yrs ago easy.
Iām looking forward to Xmas, my wife has her own money, she has always been independently wealthy. She overspends on me, but as a true Libran I expect it, thatās not me being shallow, itās just the way it is

It's really hard especially when they're that young, even though it's the kindest thing we could do for them it doesn't make it any easier. My heart goes out to you in shared grief.Speaking of cats..I am taking Abby in to the vet tomorrow to have her put down.

It's always when we're trying to be quiet or be in a hurry when we make the loudest noises or make mistakes that slow us down...........Crappy end to my night tonight. I get home from work in the wee hours of the morning, so I have to be quiet so as not to wake anyone. To start with, after I got inside and went to the kitchen, I realized I needed to go back out to my car for something I forgot, and it's raining. I decided to start some food heating in the microwave before I did that. I turned the microwave on, but there were a couple of wineglasses with spoons in them next to the sink, which is right by the microwave, and I knocked one onto the floor, where it shattered loudly. I used a hand broom to sweep it up (because I'm not sure where the big broom is, and it's too early in the morning to go wandering the house opening closets and look for it), but it wasn't as effective as I'd have liked. I used a Swiffer to mop after sweeping. After I got done with that, I stepped on a piece of glass...so back to sweeping. I ended up leaving a note about the broken glass, in case I didn't get it all.
It turned into one of those times where everything I did seemed to go wrong: every door squeaked loudly, I hit every creaky spot on the floor, I accidentally clanged my metal tumbler into the plate my food was on, things like that. At least neither of the dogs started barking.

But a new grandbaby for Christmas or New Year's? How exciting!
Both of my kids were due early January but I brought the first home from the hospital on Christmas Day and the second on Christmas Eve. One was 8'4oz, the other 7'12oz. I think I'm glad I didn't wait until January.

My daughter and "Little Man" were both born in late December on either side of Christmas. A Christmas baby (?) and another little grandson .. no doubt I'm blessed and excited no matter what....
My daughter has been all in on birth (now) ever since the doctor said all would be fine, it's just a matter of when. They estimate the baby was around 7'4oz at this point last week.
Me, I was 10'3oz and late, my Mom was 5ft 2" .. ouch .. and that's where the "Lumpy" nickname started..
My wife loves being a great Mom and I'm pretty sure you and her have that in common.
