To many weeks

have gone by without posting.    So much going on.    Tom had made my shelves for the pantry, but is still working at putting them in.



I saved a footstool and added legs, but don't know what to do with it now.  Paint?  cover?  There it sits.



This is my new best friend.  I use this pressure cooker a lot during the week.  It made beef  just fall apart yesterday for sandwiches for the guys.



The rain is awful.  We are slipping and sliding everywhere.   I guess we should be good for the rain table soon.   And it isn't snow yet either!



We had a trainer come and give advice about Stanley.  I was reluctant because I think it is goofy, but her advice seems to be working.  He was crated for Thanksgiving and was actually behaving!



All the rain, poor Popokei just sits and looks out the window.  She is definitely an outside cat, but even she has had enough of the rain!



Thanksgiving was downsized.  It was suppose to be Tom's siblings over for dinner,  but a few couldn't make it.   It was nice to have Ken out as a surprise, and later Tom's sister and nephew made it out too.   Stan was great!  He behaved quite well for only working with him for a week.





Sadly, Scratchy died two days before Thanksgiving.  He was our most lovey cat.  I miss him every day!
