Going Home...

Making our lists and checking them twice... for packing that is!  Just wanted to share a glimpse of our tree and sweet holiday spirit before we leave for our Christmas trip very early Sunday morning. Today has been a flurry of all sorts, last minute things and packing.  Thank you so much for all the happy and safe journey wishes this week.  And not least all the love for our Charlie-Boy! ;o)   I will probably have limited online time during our trip, but hope to share a photo or two while we're Stateside.  I'll be in touch soon!  Happy Days! :o)

P.S.  A little extra holiday glow at my other place, A Certain Slant of Light...

A Note from Charlie...

Hi, girls!  It's me, Charlie-Boy.  It is cold, wet and sometimes snowy here now, so I have been indoors a lot snoozing, semi-hibernating.  But I wanted to drop by in place of my Mommy, as she has her hands full this week.  There is a tree in the living room with sparkly things on it and lights.  It doesn't smell, so it can't be a real tree, but it looks like a tree.  I would like to climb it, but I'm not allowed to. There's something that looks like a blanket at the bottom of this tree, which is very cozy.  I like blankets.  Here's me lying on a favorite one now!

Mommy and Daddy are flying around, in and out, and all around--fussing with all kinds of things I don't understand. But I hear the word "trip" a lot and something called Christmas...

Mommy sends her love to you all.   She will be around, and back here very soon, before she & Daddy go away.  They think I don't know what's up, that they're going away... But I know... Oh, it's my nap time again.  Bye girls!

Love & Purrs... Charlie-Boy =^o^=

Home Sweet Home!

Don't you love the feeling of this place?!  I'm ready to move in!  LOL!!  We spied this charming abode while taking a wander downtown by the old ship wharf on Saturday. In town there was a Christmas Market, and all sorts of activities happening near the wharf.  So we took a walk and had a look around, admiring the Christmas displays and decorations.  The area where this cute little house is located, is home to local artisans and small art galleries.  Fun and inspiring!

For some more holiday coziness from our walk, stop by my other place, A Certain Slant of Light.

I look forward to catching up with all of you during the week before we leave next weekend!  Happy Days!  :o)

We Light Three Candles...

Så tenner vi tre lys i kveld
for lengsel, håp og glede.

We light three candles tonight
We light them for our heart's wish, hope, and happiness.

(My translation from Norwegian of "Adventslysene", The Advent Lights by Inger Hagerup)

Let us light a candle each for a wish we hold dear, hope and happiness in our lives!
