Cage ...Nope ferret discrimination is still legal. Thank goodness I'd feel really sorry for workers having to clean up after wild animals

Ecstatic to hear that -- hope it was a huge lawsuit for those jerks.

Oh, they were just wet. There was a lot of rain after the snowstorm, so that washed away most of the snow. (In my area, snow is still on the sides of roads, but doesn't impact anything.) There was a bunch of black ice last night, though. (I have to put out some salt this morning.)

And can you please take pictures of food? Park photos are o.k. too, but I just love staring at food pictures!

Wow, that is all yours?? Amazing!
Yep it’s all ours. We have a few more things but they don’t work now. So they will have to be scrapped. Everything is stored in our basement, I’ve been trying to convince Brad to get a little storage shed for the stuff so he doesn’t have to haul things up and down the stairs but he is being stubborn (cheap). I just want to try to avoid falls.
I know but our ground freezes so he actually put most up a week ago when he could get stuff anchored in the ground. It will stay dark until the turkey gets his day.
It’s understandable that you are behind. I’m sure everything you put up eventually will look fantastic .

Thanks, the nativity by the house is plastic figures but my dad made the ‘barn” structure. The other nativity scene by the tree was carved for him by his childhood Sunday school teacher. He gave it to him when my husband become a pastor.

Happy last Farm Market Saturday until spring
Our winter market starts today. I would like to go especially since we didn’t get our snowstorm yesterday. But we are going to put up our Christmas decorations. And it is also the start of deer hunting season and I don’t like to drive on opening day with all the hunters and deer running around .

It's one of those days. The power went out and I woke up shivering, I went looking for Thanksgiving nail designs and every one I saw looked like a candy cane, it's windy, not going to get much above freezing and I can't put off food shoppingI'm either going to be found locked in my bathroom with Basin and wine or in Florida tonight
Ugh! But Basin sounds like a good idea. I had a basin night last night,

I’ll be sure to pass along your comment. He got a lot of the vintage figures at a garage sale a month before he broke his ankle last year so he was thrilled to put them out this year.
Oh, how cute is that?!And I like how there is a mix of both nativity and Santa/reindeer/Christmas tree lights, etc.
Thanks, he like to set everything up in little scenes. He is also hoping to win the town decorating contest this year, again.

Can I vent for a few seconds? I know that I have mentioned in the past, that I have trouble dealing with the phrase, "Thank you for your service" when random people find out that I am a Vietnam Veteran. I know that most people are sincerely trying to show an appreciation of what was a sacrifice, in some cases an extreme sacrifice and I should be appreciative. However in a effort to point out why, so many times it just seems like empty words, let me say something about an experience I had just this week.
I believe that I have spoken about the housing situation that I am currently having to deal with. For those that don't... I have been told that I will have to move out of my apartment shortly because they are in the process of upgrading all the apartments to justify charging up to $300.00 per month more for them. My place is quite comfortable, but, there idea upgrading is the following.... Replace all perfectly good appliances with the currently popular stainless exterior, paint the really rich looking Oak Cabinets a cold white and change the handles. Modify and replace the current durable counter tops with a fake granite top that is so flimsy that a neighbor accidentally placed a hot pan on it just for a brief moment and it burnt through the fake immediately, Change the wall color from off white to light tan, replace my almost new carpeting with a slightly darker one (either one is really just a tan), change out the linoleum entrance, kitchen and bathroom, with a very dark stone like pattern. For that my apartment rent goes up $100.00 per month. I have savings and do have the money to pay it, but, if it were my choice I would never have rented an apartment even at my lower rate that felt as cold as their new design.
Anyway, in the process of trying to negotiate with my property manager we were discussing the various reasons why I was upset about being told a 70 years old, a veteran and in need of a ground floor apartment due to a leg injury that makes stairs a problem, has to up an move so they can do that. When we got to the point of discussion where the fact that I was a veteran came up, she looked at me and said... Thank you for your Service! I almost gagged at the irony of that. Here she is telling me that I have to uproot and move for what will ultimately be an extra $100.00 per month in their pocket and instead of just trying to show a concern not only for the elderly or the veteran, it was all about money. Regardless of the fact that even if I found a way to pay the higher rate, I still had to pack up my stuff, and relocate. I have been here for 8 years, have paid the rent on the first day of the month every single month that I have lived here, do not complain about anything and have tried to be a good tenant... it just doesn't matter what hardship is inflicted on anyone as long that the $$$$$ keep being the priority in life.
Sorry... just feeling a little angry and hurt that trying to do the right things gets one no place. OK, done with that. I know that people my age have much bigger problems then mine and I am reminded of that every time I make a trip to the VA hospital for the clinics. That usually helps me snap out of my self pity and just move forward. One more thing I will get through, I'm just getting tired.

Wouldn’t dream of ruining it. Did not know there are to be 3.

There's nothing to like about that. There's a big difference between somebody being thankful for ones service and trying to scam a senior out of money.
