Jingle Bells….. well Bells the kitten

A bunch of junk has happened since I was in Tampa..  and I got too busy to get on here to write about it all…  Last weekend I was in Lexington Virginia at the Equestrian center.. I was pretty pissed off at most of the people there and the attitude of some of the contestants…
but, I did ride my horse up in the middle of a “christmas in camelot” party. It was really a renaissance fair.  People all dressed up in pretty gowns and stuff, a minstrel band and everything. They were singing christmas songs and the such…
Maggs and I walked on over to the food tent and got us some delightful dish called “pig on a stick” came with a roasted apple and everything..  I also got me some spiced cider.. I was tempted to try her bubbly potion but, I wasn’t sure what that was all about..

And onto this past weekend, my Mom and Dad are up here.. and we decided to go riding on the palmetto trail on Saturday… had a great time.. packed in some MRE’s and had a picnic lunch type thing on the banks of the river.. then road back to where we parked the trailer.. it was a good 8 mile ride 🙂

Some of the woods

Very pretty stuff up in here

After we got back from riding, and got everyone settled..  I decided that maybe I could get in the Christmas spirit and all that crap..

So here is the tree.. with the light up snoopy I bought…
I wound up watching The Charlie brown christmas special and wished I was a kid again… then decided to make Oatmeal raising and chocolate cookies… then ate that for supper with some milk.. hahahaha
any ways… no garland.. just ornaments.. It is like 7 days before Christmas and stuff..  so less crap to take down 🙂

I did wind up buying some christmas stockings…
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…. I re-arranged alll the rooms in the house..  The room depicted in the picture to the left, is the old like formal sitting room….
I totally took that over, because there is a fireplace in there.. that was boarded up, well I have been getting quotes from the gas companies about running propane to the house, so I can get a Gas range and gas logs.. so I opened the fireplace up.. and viola.. new living room… 🙂

Now, last Friday my assistant came into the office with a kitten…. and what do you think happened?  I brought it home with me…   she’s a sweet little thing 🙂
I named her Bells.. as in Jingle Bells..
