Year is flying
Michel I have shown both Miss Kitty and Mr.Grey before so I pulled out of folder here.
So far I haven't found the picture of Scott's little tree here but I post it every year. It sits on the kitchen table due to Mr. Grey. When he got comfortable with it he played with the little things under it. One day he found the container holding push pins that was under it and knocked it over and I had those push pins all over the floor and even the windowsill. As I set about sweeping them up he came over to bat one until I grabbed it. Thank the Lord he never tried to eat one! I only picked him up once since he came here and I have no idea how I would get him to the vet if needed.
He is no longer afraid of the walker and I think he delights getting in front of it. Then again I 'wall walk' more now and he will rub against my legs hindering movement. Lately he has been jumping up in my lap in the recliner. He must weigh 15 or 20 pounds. Wil loves to watch him running from window to window.
As for Miss Kitty she will always be feral. I offered her a treat one day as she stood inside the garage door. Her answer, smack it out of my hand. Karen said the 2 weeks she had her she was never able to touch her. She had her in the guest bathroom until she was spayed. Even the folks at the vet called her the wild one.
Now there is an orange and white cat, I suspect a male as when Mr. Grey sees him he really switches his tail.
Here is the picture of Scott's little tree Carissa had given him. Not a really good picture as details are absent. All the ornaments on this tree are permanently fixed to it. We still have the original box it goes in. The Santa is taken off and stored in a stocking but the rest stay on. They are more old fashioned, like candles and bulbs of years past. Under it the round white balls are antenna balls that Scott fixed to sit under the tree. Those are now more a collectors item as the Jack in the Box doesn't give them out any more. So many cars have no radio antenna's and that is what they go on.
This picture I actually took at his house. I have the table it was sitting on also. I have it set up in my coloring room.
The swing out the window I also have what is left of it. When I sit down on it I check the seat first. The other seat Wil set down and it tore.
Guess I babbled on enough. Oh I had a friend give me a rollator for Christmas and another friend here put it together. I am learning to walk with it as the 10 inch wheels I wanted really move. Wil lifts it in and out of the house as I can't lift 20 lbs. Now I don't know what to send Sandy for Christmas.
She is so determined I never fall again, though when I fell no walker was involved.

Glad that Mr. Grey has gotten used to the walker. I always enjoy the little snapshots of your life on your blog as well as your Facebook page.
Thank you CC and I'm holding my breath as years go by.

Merry Christmas and a safe 2022. My husband and I for the 3rd year, are home again partly because of covid and partly because of the stormy weather. Still, we have a lot to be thankful for Best to you, Will, and the kitties.
@fauquet: Yes I do love cats. Just about everything in this house holds some kind of memory. Sadly I have no one to leave it to.
You and your family have a safe and blessed Christmas.
Thanks Bonnie for the precisions about the kitties . It is sure you love càts !
The Christmas tree is a memory tree , Scott and Carissa memories . You know I often think of you.
I am glad you will be more easy to walk with the new rollator. However,take care of you.
