“So, where does Buddy keep his water?”

I turned around and he had the cat’s water dish in his hand.

“Oh, just put it by the shredder, that’s where you usually have it.”

“Ok, cause I want to make sure he knows he has water.”

To self, rotten cat. I don’t mean that. Buddy has been a lifesaver for him. One day I came home from work – at 12:30pm – cat is lying on W’s feet in bed.

“Hon, why aren’t you up?”

“Cause Buddy’s on my feet.”

Dear, God, Cat. I thank you.

Today we did all the things we usually do on Christmas Eve. We shopped around and enjoyed picking up extra gifts – no pressure as we were “done”. That’s our tradition for W&I. Being M&M will be here and probably visiting and using the car, we made today the 24th.

Off to the grocery store for extra cheese treats and snacks for Christmas Eve. The freezers are bulging!

We chose a family restaurant for our luncheon (on Brian) and had the most wonderful turkey dinner. No pic as I forgot the camera! Maybe we’ll go again before company arrives.

After lunch we stopped at the new Oriental Market and bought Korean snacks for MiHwa as a surprise. A young girl was shopping and I asked if she could show us the Korean food – “Yes, I am from Korea.” When I told her the situation, she carefully picked out all kinds of snacks. After we bought them, she ran out the door after us and whispered that next time we could buy them a lot cheaper at the Super Store. Thought that was cute. A nice Christmas memory for this year. I’ll have to tell MiHwa.

It was very nice to sit with our coffee and read our Christmas cards. We hadn’t picked up the mail for 3 days so — Several nieces and nephews sent pics of their families. A bit surprised that W didn’t remember any of the children.

Now home to sit before the fire and wrap our last minute gifts for people. W is totally pooped so will get him down for a sleep and maybe enjoy some TV later.

Hope Everyone had a great day – wherever you are!
