Come From Away

It’s beginning to look a lot like Giftmas…

Portobello has been in training for the last year. Since flying in from Winnipeg went so well for him, he now thinks he is ready to join Santa’s team. I’m not so sure myself, but you can judge for yourself by the picture of him below.

I understand that Le Château may be a little too expensive for some out there to purchase for me. In an attempt to compromise, I did a web search and came across a realty web site that may help you find a more reasonably priced château to give to me for Giftmas. Here are a few samples:

Anything with a minimum of 10 acres and 5 bedrooms will suffice.

We received a package full of Giftmas presents yesterday and the little boys have been having a great time with the box.

This morning Portobello learned how to pop the bubble wrap and we were entertained with several minutes of POP-POP-POP-POP-POP-POP!
He puts his hoof on the corner and runs his snout along the bubbles and they all pop. He thought it was great!

We pulled the old arm chair right up in front of the wood stove from where it was against the wall. It’s the best place to sit in the winter. It seems that the animals are in agreement and there is always a bit of a competition for who gets to sit on it. Some of the smaller ones have learned to share.

It’s been an extremely mild December so far and I’ve been working frantically to get the last on the wood into the house. I figure that I am on the last cord. The problem is that I did not listen to my back when it was telling me that it was getting much more tired than the rest on me and I went in the basement to stack the pile that was down there. Two hours later, I had cleared the space below the wood shoot and was ready to toss down the last of it.
Well, my back has decided to start shouting at me and it is now extremely difficult to put on my own socks… Getting up in the middle of the night to pee requires a few minutes of holding onto the wall while the pain subsides and by the time I am back to bed, I have broken out all over in a sweat… Pain Killers are great!

Customers have been asking about having tree ornaments and other such things from K and so she went to CafePress.com and set up a site where they could order some. While doing her research on how to set it up etc, she came across the following store: Bugga Bugga Children’s Wear. The best items, IMO, are the Happy Poop ones. I love the mug. Who can’t imagine sitting around the break room table drinking tea with your colleagues and enjoying the looks on their faces as they watch your mug…
