Christmas Dinner Revised

• The Chili for Christmas dinner idea was nixed by the girls. We are having a more traditional ham. I am rebelling against the formal traditional Christmas sit down dinner by serving potato salad, green salad, and Jello salad with the ham.


• Our cat ran away several days ago. I am worried. I was having cat related nightmares, I couldn't sleep and got out of bed at 4AM


• I kept hearing the cat meow, or was it my imagination? The dog wouldn't come in the house, she kept going over the the fence. I looked around in the dark, no cat.


• I finally went out front, and looked on the other side of the fence, in the empty lot which is a forest, in the dark, this is where I found the cat. Could I have heard her, in my house with all the windows and doors shut, meowing in the lot next door?


• Can a cat speak to you in your dreams?


• She didn't lose any weight being gone for three days, I am thinking she has an alternate food source. Although, she is currently eating and purring at the same time.


• At least we didn't lose the cat on Christmas


• Miss Lily found her bike, hidden in the garage, her gift from Santa. I almost threw up


• Kim has posted her french onion soup recipe, it looks great. Mine is almost identical only I make homemade beef stock and add some bourbon, just a couple of tablespoons. Hers looks much better, check it out here.
