Carrot cake in Roman numerals. Couldn't cut it until my grandsons figured out the number. Fun dinner and a great birthday.

It's been snowing literally for 3 weeks. Cats in mostly. Nearly 2 ft of snow since the second week of November. We put cat TV on. The black cat may take down my TV. Need to move our printer.

Big gathering at my daughter's house. Didn't bother with plates of food pics. We have constantly falling snow though.

Busy day with our Stone Soup Project. Bought so much food to help support our cause. Trying to stock up because lake effect snow in late November/December apparently is going to be a thing. With donations, we may be good for 6 weeks. I love our people. It's snowing now. Happy Thanksgiving kids.

Windows almost done. We went to a different lake in NY for the dayas our contractor kept working. Had some great wings, went to a charming antique shop. He will do 2 hours of inside trim tomorrow while I watch football at my kids house. It all makes me appreciate my home more.

Kept checking in with contractor. We left at 8:20, finally got home after they finished to let Siggy in at 4. She watched them all day from under the deck. She came in. I have windows to protect us from Winter finally since 1942. Our original windows. Gave out 35 meals to our community
Good day.

Finally doing a little reading. I've been waiting for this one from Libby for a couple of months. My lucky day. So far I like it!

Also. I bought this for my kids for Christmas and Hanukkah. Best nightlight ever. $20. I will have one here for the kids when they stay. Hotel nights for their travel. Great quality. Worth every cent.

So random Siggy is eating next to Loki who hasn't been here for 8 months. He walked in like it was his house. It was sort of. He can be our winter cat. He belonged to another house nearby. He didn't like it there. Siggy is adjusting. It's been days of in and out adjusting. Good for now.
