Sunday Post #277

 


The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer book blog, and is a post to recap my bookish and non-bookish things from the last week. I'm also linking up to The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance @Readerbuzz.

Happy Sunday! I'm getting this out late again. I worked yesterday and then we went out to celebrate my sister and her husband's anniversary. The town is really pretty all dressed up with Christmas lights and there were a lot of people out despite it raining. 

We woke up to a dreary, wet morning but the sun came out and is shining:


It's supposed to start raining again tonight and basically every other day for the next week. I'm heading out to Montana next weekend to spend the week there with my daughter, SIL, and grandkids. The on the property is opening up for the week for a bunch of winter activities: ice skating on the frozen fishing lake, sledding, ugly sweater karaoke and a white and silver party. There's also a ski resort about 30 minutes away that my daughter wants go to.

The cats are all doing well. Now going in and out of the cat door if it's propped open. Peanut is still not super thrilled with the cats. I hope he gets more tolerant. We have a house sitter coming to stay while we're in Montana to take care of the cats, but I'm still a little worried.

  4. We are so dry, not getting hardly any rain. I love skiing in Montana. We took the train out from Minnesota and went skiing on my daughter's spring break when she was about 11. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    1. I've never skied in Montana. Only California and Oregon. I hope we have fun and it's not too cold. Thank you, Anne! I hope you enjoy your holidays, too!

  5. I hate the cold that comes this time of the year, but I do like those holiday displays. Poor Peanut! Is he much older than the other cats? Maybe it's a generational divide. Safe travels and happy holidays to you and yours.

    1. They are pretty. I know, I feel bad for Peanut and try and give him extra attention. He is 10 years old, so yes, quite a bit older. Thank you, Sam! I hope you enjoy the holidays and the time off with family!

  12. I love going into the old part of our town where the lights are so pretty. Enjoy that festive stay in MT. Hopefully, the cats will take some of that 'peace on earth' and do well. :)

    Have a Merry Christmas, Rachel!

  14. The kitties look more comfortable now and happy. Not as skittish. Enjoy your time in Montana and have a Merry Christmas! We might see a few sprinkles here in SoCal this morning. Otherwise it's been dry here.
