I decided to decorate. I have not done so since 2018, the last time we had company, and it was limited then. Gatto is much more interested in the packing than in the contents. He's a basic kind of dude.
The son sent me a text a couple of days ago saying he and his wife will visit Saturday. He will bring the food. This sounded fine by me. I'm sure the impulse to decorate came from knowing we will have company. It's amazing to me how much I have. Only about a quarter of it will be used. I think I may have had an over-the-top personality at one time. Now I'm more like an under-the-covers type.
I placed a pick-up order from Total Wine for 21 bottles of NA wine. They had twenty percent off, what's a person to do? It is the holiday season, afterall. Cheers!
Nothing happier than a cat in a box!
ReplyDeleteThat is a true statement, Far Side!!
DeleteLove seeing Gatto! Cats and toddlers always seem more interested in the packaging that what was in them--lol! Enjoy your visit!! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth, Rita!
DeleteThe Christmas spirit has found you!!!
ReplyDeleteIt has, Lori. It's been in hiding for years.
DeleteI adore that last photo of Gatto. I could just kiss him he has such a sweet face yet mischievous at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI like to read the newspapers that I have wrapped things.
Take Care,
Kaye
I thought about reading some of the newspapers, Kaye. Gatto is a sweety with tight naughty pants!
DeleteThe cat looks like it drank some of your wine.
ReplyDeleteHa! He would be sorely disappointed if he thought he'd get a buzz, AC.
DeleteThe is one happy, content cat in a box
ReplyDeleteHe does love a box, Jo-Anne.
DeleteThat Cat In The Box is planning something. Probably related to decorations.
ReplyDeleteYou read him well, Boud.
DeleteWhat sweet pictures of Gatto!
ReplyDeleteHe is a perfect model, Cheerful.
DeleteI'm bad I haven't put anything up for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYou went to spam, Dora. I have not put up a thing for 6 years. I'm actually enjoying doing it.
DeleteJust bring out boxes with paper inside of them and the cats will all think they hit the motherlode for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit on Saturday. We might get company then too.
:)
Happy decorating!
Gatto is particularly captivated by boxes, Val. I'm sure the visit will be pleasant and all I'll need to do is light a fire!
