It’s easy to predict which will be which. Just ask yourself “Who in this couple will be responsible for clearing the snow off of the vehicles, the driveway, and any roof that can’t stand the weight?”
I am more than a little worried that it’s January and we still haven’t had a snow that stays around, in Quebec. Not only for the implications of climate change but because my skis are going to be very lonely this season.
Though they’ve had cats for many years (they live in the kind of countryside place where you need a cat to keep the mice out) my sister’s family has somehow managed to train them all to stay away from the christmas tree. My nephew’s pet rabbit, on the other hand, would plunder the decorations from the lowest branches (it was a dwarf rabbit so couldn’t reach very high) and drag them into its cage.
We had boxes and boxes of beautiful ornaments from both sides, some dating back to the 1920’s, plus others we bought when we got married some *cough* years ago. My late sister in law made some big ceramic ones you could kill a person with and had to tie on the branches because the hooks wouldn’t hold them. The various cats we’ve had got all…of…them. 🙁 The only things they won’t touch are Dollarama ornaments and the metal ones but they knock those off. The only thing one of the dogs we’ve had has ever touched, other than knocking them off with their tails, was a little wooden sled one of them chewed that had our names painted on it and ‘happy 25th xmas’. The cat we have now isn’t so bad but there are still no ornaments on the bottom branches, just in case.
The way my back has been lately, it’s pumps, sandals, boatshoes and a long shoehorn for life apparently…or winter kneeboots in July…but will I throw a single pair of buckle or laceups out ? We all know the answer to that.
Was so relaxed on a vacation, did forget, and stressing made it worse. Gave up and joined breakfast. When getting ready to leave, managed to not think about it, and just let reflexes take over :}

And then there is the down, over, up routine until he gets the spot…

Wait until he has to get up and go to the bathroom…five times.

You mean, you didn’t “sample” any for, um, “quality assurance” purposes while you packed it up? 😜

That litle box started off as a large bowl, didn’t it ?
With extra garlic salt 🙂

I haven’t tied my shoes for at least a decade. Loafers for life. Even my steel toed shoes are slip on.
