Good Morning, Everyone,

Rusty is barely blue this morning, but I'll take it! He had a good night until a coughing fit about an hour before the alarm. After he "gets up the gunk" (he has chronic congestion) he is OK. But I know the process must be uncomfortable for him. No schmooze this morning: I was working on Xmas cards. About 2 hours into the morning Rusty was meowing, so I went downstairs to discover that I had neglected to pull up the curtain and shade by his perch and he was sitting on the perch, calling for that oversight to be remedied! So we had a combing and he ate the rest of his breakfast and now is sitting in his perch above the radiator, contemplating the snowy yard.
We got a little more snow last night. The snow makes a dark, damp, cold day look beautiful. Lots for the beans to do today: finish baking the orange shortbread; walk to the post office, a trip to the wine shop in Lake Placid to get wines to take to the family Christmas, food shopping, a 25-year anniversary party at the Health Food store, bring the Xmas tree inside, more Xmas cards.

Hope all is well in LL and sending healing vines to all kitties and beans in need,

Ella & Rusty

It's still blue. Poor guy on the cough. How cute with letting you know that you forgot to do your chores. They do have us trained. Sounds busy busy there. Have a great day Ella!

High enough, Rusty! Don't tempt Tess to come up to join you.

WE just got our tree yesterday too, actually I sent John out to get it. You know I was feeling crummy to not want to pick it out myself!

Poor Rusty.

sounds like a busy day. Hope Rusty sees lots of imaginary things to chase in the snow.

Poor Rusty. I hope he's feeling better. How cute he let you know you forgot to raise the shade.

Hi again,
It was a very busy day and everything got done except for the Xmas cards. Can't face that tonight, so we are going to watch a movie. Rusty had a day of numbers slightly better than yesterday. I don't know where he'll go now, because the Xmas tree has been brought into the house and, for Rusty, that is always a trauma. Must be something in his past. He stays away from it, but was happy to have his favorite wicker chair moved to a warmer part of the room (to make room for the tree) and spent all evening in it.

We are looking forward to tomorrow and seeing the Met in HD broadcast of Wagner's "Die Meistersinger." The Lake Placid Center for the Arts, which does these broadcasts, held it for a week because they had another event last Saturday, when the telecast actually took place. Everyone we know who saw it said it is magnificent.

Everyone have a good weekend.

Ella & Rusty

Very festive holiday colors for Rusty! :mrgreen:

Nice blues for Rusty- I hope he is feeling better after his coughing spell! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: There is nothing prettier than snow lighting up the landscape on an otherwise dreary day- I sometimes miss that from when I lived in Eastern Washington! Have a great evening Ella!

Maybe flat blue tonight and he'll be back at the lagoon tomorrow. Is he not getting his allerplex anymore or does winter just make him snuffly?

Sounds like you were really, really busy today so that's impressive you got everything done but the cards. That's pretty good. I hope you enjoy the opera!
