Hope everyone else had a nice one ... mine was pretty depressing. Nothing major happened, but my husband and I had competing sibling groups in town so we saw little of each other. While I saw a lot of mine, I also got into a really nasty fight with one that's had me in tears all day and ended with me sending an email that I'm almost certain to regret tomorrow.
My grandmother is 95 this year and for the first time she seemed really old on Thanksgiving. We haven't ever been close and I have a lot of issues with that side of my family but she was always pretty with it and she's clearly sliding fast -- almost blind, very deaf, and with several frightening coughing fits.
I guess I'm thankful that this year is nearly over. And also for these very amusing creatures that I can't imagine not having in my life. As requested.
Better days.
Your kitties are really lovely, I can well imagine being thankful for them. Sorry for the rest of the trauma, I hope that email doesn't have bad consequences.

Wow, mine was similar. To me, family is work in a bad way.
Your kitties are beautiful. The chair shot is so elegant.

I was feeling as if my thanksgiving was the only one that sucked ass.
I'm glad I am in such great company. The suckage isn't so bad then. Don't you wish we could pick who we get to have thanksgiving with?

hola Mary Scarlet. I can't believe how big & beautiful those cats are.
sorry 'bout thanksgiving. that sucks. mine was pretty lame and my grandma - well, same goes here. never been really close to her and suddenly she looked so old to me (in fact, she looked like sh*t). so sad. nothing like aging family members and bickering siblings to make the holidays . . . oh, just another holiday.
