Don’t let that tiny plate of food fool you! I had 3rd’s!

Today we did a prime rib roast and veggies.
I also did a brownie trifle in mason jars.

Adam!!!! And All the CDRoomies! Hope you are ALL having a very wonderful, healthy and merry Christmas, that goes for your Families including your torts and other pets. No time to type now, just wanted to “jump in read the last 2-3 posts, add my Christmas wish and get back to my crazy lately life. If Sabine (Bee) still visits CDR, I have received the package from you, the kids opened it and loved all the stuff and delish candy. I’ve been charged with a delightful duty to thank you very much for Adam, Konrad and Sophie. How unexpected, thoughtful and sweet of you that was! Made my day! I very much appreciate you reaching out like that. Again, Sabine, thank you SOOOOOO very much[emoji173]️ also received several beautiful cards, and folks, it’ll be a while before I can reciprocate. I live in the fog over here looking mainly in one direction (ahead with low peripheral visibility) and just focussed on getting through another day without any major disaster. I so miss chit-chatting with you here, or talk tortoise. Mine are still with us but I just don’t have the time to do all that I used to for them their first 2 yrs. they are 2.5 now. Their winter garden house didn’t get built because Konrad got sick in September when it was still hot (stays often hot till November!) and all of my focus shifted into dealing with all kinds of doctors, therapies, tests, and non-stop research. We still don’t have a firm diagnosis and just keep patching things up as they come instead of addressing the reason for his unrelenting tummy pain. Anyway, thank for the cards, for your thoughts and prayers, for sending good juju my way, it all helps tremendously. If anyone wants to get a hold of me, I probably shouldn’t post my cell# here on public forum, but if you pm Linda (Joes Mum), or John (John&Jade), or Ed (ZEROPILOT), and few others have all of my contact info. I’m here, just too darn busy to be able to enjoy my “tortoise foruming”. Wishing everyone a very enjoyable and peaceful holiday season, whichever one thou celebrate (Christmas or Hanukkah, or any other). Be well, ya’ll and your torts:) Ewa (Ava)

Love, hugs and prayers to you and your family!!!!! [emoji173]️

Nuts! I can't think of any more excuses to not vacuum and dust. Yesterday it was too hot in here because I put too much wood into the wood stove. The day before that my back hurt (yeah, right) so I needed to sit in the recliner with a pillow in the small of my back. The day before that . . . well, I don't remember the day before that. And I don't have the Forum to use as an excuse because I've read all the new posts. Shucks.

I have been doing chores today too. Lots of laundry and some clearing and tidying. Regrettably * cough * I seem to have run out of time before I could get round to the ironing ( ;) ) so it will have to wait. It's time to prepare the dinner... Much the same as yesterday, except the turkey is already cooked. :)

Happy Boxing Day All. Yesterday we had christmas with hubbies family. Roast potatoes. Cauliflower and broccoli. Gammon and roast beef. Prawns for starters and tirimisu for desert. Today we had christmas with my side of the family. Crumbed stuffed mushrooms 4 starters. Roast chicken. Gammon roast pork. Potatoes. Cauliflower and broccoli and tirimisu for desert. I don't want to see food for a week again so stuffed and can"t eat anymore. Back to work tomorrow. From the posts it looks like everybody had a good Christmas. I hope the rest of the week is as good for everyone.

The park was absolutely packed.
Lots if Canadian tourists...And strangely (to me) a lot of Japanese.
The trail is 7 miles long. After about 5 miles, my "bionic" knee went out. Then it was all stop and rest.....push and walk and some slow and deliberate pedaling. I thought I'd never make it back to the truck.
Kelly was a good sport.
Lots of gators out today.
Including a nine footer that we had to stop for in the road.
I had no energy left to wrestle an adult Aligator. So I yielded to the creature.
What a nice day.
What a great workout.
