Phyl, great Simon's cat about boxes!  Here's Harley, AKA Turdbutt:

The kittens were back in the basket, I am leaving it there for them, it's their safe place...

BL, I looked at pictures of Sundown Wild Forest, it is a beautiful place...

Lisa, we haven't really gotten the cats together yet, we are letting the kittens kind of get used to the place first. We have been switching them from our bedroom to the family room and Harley between the family room and the Mole Hole, hoping they will get used to the scent of each other.

Lani, Harley has hissed once looking at the kittens in their little tent home. Hopefully it won't take too long to get them together. They look so tiny compared to him! I love the ZipFirt sheets, I ordered another set of the topper, you only need the one base section. Now I can change the sheets without waiting for Ed to wash them so I can put them back on. They are pricey but well worth it to me! Look at those lion cubs...cats are cats!

The Millers returned from vacation to find Bob and Daphne Honeymooning in the Spa.





Clynn, LOLOLOL on Harley!!  Hugs to the Turdbutt, too!!   :D :D :D :-* :-*

Our Rutt near the Red River...the ND/MN border...admin agrees...

Stay on this side of the river Rutt ;)

tig - pure ice down here on all roadways. SSRL confirms they pre-treated her roads this am. Smart and wiser than after the fact. Not treated down here..too late now. >:( I need not go anywhere but not sure how it will melt with our temps coming up.

Lani - Hope Mike gets some good relief with the 2nd shot.  Sometimes, one shot per year is probably not enough!

Og - You have definitely been a busy guy!  The storms have not been bad for us, but not so far away, coastal areas had lots more rain and high surf and had to deal with flooding.  We live about 11 miles inland from the ocean, so where we live, we don't get flooded, of which I am grateful.    Have a wonderful New Years Eve tomorrow and I'm sure you will make delicious Chili! :)

Bl - Sounds like you & Pip are in the perfect place - Enjoy your time!  :)

Puff  - You are right - not easy being cute (kittens)!   Thanks for the status at SWFL! ;D

Clynn - Bet the kittens slept pretty good after playing with the Munchkins.  Funny how they found a perfect quiet spot to sleep! :)     It was nice to finally have a quiet bed, but not only that, the bed actually felt differently and much more comfortable. :)
Wow - that picture out at Glacier National Park-Montana is gorgeous, but don't know if I would want to be way up there! ::)
Sounds like a good plan with trying to gradually introduce Harley to the kittens.

Tsk - I read your nice compliment to Kris and he got a big smile and said 'Thank you'! ;D    So nice of your niece to gift you with that nice cup to keep your tea hot.   I think I have a cup that size too!  Yeti cups are great  :)   Wonderful donation for the RRP!! ;D

Kb - Amazing you saw the waves around the Santa Cruz, CA area too!  I think today was the last morning of high surf and today the rain ended pretty early, so that was good break for the folks over in Santa Cruz County; Rio Del Mar, Seacliff Beach, Santa Cruz Wharf, Steamer Lane area.   
Awe, hugs for what you said to BL {{Kb}}

LisaG - Thank goodness for your cam in that you were able to see that a fox had visited your feed bowl!!   Kris says 'thank you'!! :)

Karen - Thank you for SWFL update! :)

Lori - Love the vids of the kittens!!  Thank you so much!! ;D

Phyl - Love the pics of the forest area-beautiful!!    Cute comic of kitty returning the sweater! :)   Cat-Opoly! ;D

Hi Baz! Beautiful picture of your twin greatnieces with their birthday cake!! 

Beakers have a warm, safe & nice evening.

T40, love the Main Coons! Love RxckStxr vids! New Tie  ;D ... OMG! Chaos in a few secs! Oh the howling  ;D ;D ;D... The dog watching the game! LOL!!! Victor Borge!  Great ones tonight!!!

{{{Clynn}}} Love the Tie-dye coverlet that big beautiful ginger {{{Harley  :-* }}} is hiding his face from you.... Good idea for getting the cats use to each other .... Bob and Daphne LOL!  ;D ... 5' can opener!

Happy birthday to your beautiful greatniece twins!

Tsk, simple things make the BEST gifts!

Good Morning Beakers.....HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!


I see there is a new kid in town at SWFL this morning! E23 in 2023, made it just in time!

tsk, Puff, tig, karen and all - Morning  :)

Phyl - You're welcome.  Thanks for the history on New Year’s, the festive facts and the 365.

Lani - Thanks for the SWFL update.

E4E:D

kb - Thanks for the Rutt update.

baz - Happy 6th Birthday to the twins!  Great shots of the Norther Lights by your nephew!

T40 - Thanks for the videos.  :)

clynn - Was just reading your comment to Lani, about Harley hissing at the kitties.  Bandit did that same thing to Misty when we brought her inside, but he was the one we had in the carrier.   ;D ;D The Millers returned from vacation to find Bob and Daphne Honeymooning in the Spa.

Good Morning Beakers!

      

Lisa, thanks for the news of E23 arriving at SWFL!  Wonder if E24 will hatch before midnight? I think there is always some hissing in the beginning of introducing cats, probably one more day and we will let them get close. Harley is just so much bigger than them!

Phyl, spooky 365... Interesting New Years article, a lot of interesting customs around the world! I would like rice pudding with an almond or eating a dozen grapes right before midnight! Will dig into the other article after breakfast! That is a beautiful wreath!

Lani, we have tie dye everywhere around here, Ed and Kelsey wear it a lot! I bet Ed has well over 100 tie dye tee shirts... Kelsey about 20. I have 5.  ;D ;D

baz, beautiful pictures of the Aurora Borealis from Norway, and a Burger King!  The twins are so cute! Six years old and the first tooth gone! Some cute pictures will be coming!

E4E, I bet Kris is looking for the next project! He seems like one who likes to keep busy working with his hands! I wish Ed was handy, he and his brother think they are handy but they are not. I should take a picture of the shelf Ed built in the new shed!

tsk, I got Mom one of those cups that will keep her coffee hot for 12 hours, I hope she uses it! I was going to set up Acorn on her TV while we were there, that was her present. Then she asked me not to because she would watch it all day and she has too many things she wants to get done, with her pictures and albums. Said she would like an immersion blender so she doesn't always have to get her mixer  or blender out, I ordered one on Amazon and it was delivered to her on Thursday!

kb, Rutt looks like a moose on a mission...  ;D


There's a lighthouse in Iceland that sits on the highest of three rocks six miles off the Icelandic coastline, built in 1939 on top of an extremely steep and dangerous rocky cliff. It's the the Thrídrangar lighthouse...

Breathtaking pic of cheetahs, imho.



and, from a trail cam....hmm, trail cams are turning out to be a godsend, right.

Morning all.
maybe a half inch of snow fell on top of our bad ice..roads still here have had no treatment whatsoever.
Hmm?...they have no concern apparently for life or property?
Oh that's right, it's Sunday and New Years eve, LOL

Hopefully I can stay awake long enough for tonight's Vikings/Packers game.
