SCRIBBLES VIDEO | Holiday Recap
There's plenty of photos in this video and they go by fast, so you might want to watch it several times. This way you may also become familiar with the instrumental song "Mystic Ways", which provides the choreography and was created by me.
Yes, this time around both the video's concept and the background music were my concoctions.
WOW! This brings the euphoria to a whole new level!
THE MORE TIMES YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO -THE MORE THINGS YOU SEE!
ENCORE OF OUR OTHER HOLIDAY VIDEO:
SCRIBBLES VIDEO | Becky's Winter Wonderland
Our pal Becky has always enjoyed decorating for the holidays and now that she has a new very spacious home in the country, that enjoyment has doubled in size.
I visited with Becky this past week and helped her decorate her 9 foot Christmas tree, while Becky, her boyfriend Dan and her friend Lianne had already decked the halls, walls and areas both in and outside the house earlier on. Dog buddies Preston, Angel and Ram (who is visiting for a while) didn't help decorate but did offer to supervise, even when their help wasn't necessarily required.
It looks so great, I joked that she should charge admission and offer tours. Here's a peek at Becky's Winter Wonderland.

KIDS | Kitty Loves Her Visitor
Graham brought more editions of his cool publication Nighttime Digest for me to read. Would you believe he's made over 70 editions since February?
We're also playing online games, I just have to make sure I don't go over my data limit ....LOL!
We won't be venturing outside to record a new episode of 'The Real Pussycats of St. Patrick Street' this time around because it is freezing cold out there and even the feral cats have taken shelter - including the infamous "Black & White Cat" who we're happy to report now stays indoors in the neighbour's enclosed back porch. MEOW!

IN MEMORIAM | Angus
There's really no words to describe the feeling of having to say goodbye to a beloved pet, something sadly many Scribbles friends have experienced.
What can be said is that Angus was a lucky dog who was a great companion to those who loved him and gave them many fond memories to treasure forever.

FAMILY | A Tail-Wagging Christmas
My old furry friend and I were actually there Christmas Eve Day too, as I helped mom prepare the food and table setting. Everyone was bringing yummy dishes and desserts Christmas Day to go along with what mom & I prepared, which included the infamous cooking the turkey (Don't let on, but we cheated on the gravy, it was from a can. LOL)
I had packed an overnight bag when I went to mom's on Christmas Eve Day. There was snow forecast and we had a lot to do and it would take some time. If there was a blizzard going on at the same time, I was staying. But when we were finished and looked outside, there wasn't a single flake of snow falling. So -as previously planned- I took mom's car to get Timmi & I home.
I had already asked my neighbour if I could park mom's car in the back. She was fine with that, meaning I had a place to put the car when we got home.
Although it was still not snowing when I went to bed, snow began to fall in the middle of the night.
When I looked outside the next morning, mom's little Nissan car looked like an igloo. When I took Timmi out for a pee, I brought along my broom, first to sweep a path for the dog and then to sweep off the car, before returning inside for my well deserved morning coffee.
As I sat in the living room, sipping my coffee and wondering how I was going to take care of this car situation, I heard a sound outside. It was my neighbour. He was shoveling the driveway. He shoveled from the car to the road including the area the plow had gone by. It's not uncommon for him to shovel the driveway, but what was special was the fact he only shoveled where "my" car was. He usually shovels a path that would go from the garage where his mom's car is, to the road.
But not today. This time it was a direct path for me to get the car out and I was very touched by that.
Cinderella could go to the ball and Timmi & I could go to Nana's to spend Christmas Day with our family. It doesn't get much better than that!

| ME WITH TIMMI & MY MOM'S CAT PATCHES |
Hello Friends:
Here we are once again near the end of another year and into the holiday season. And once again I also find myself wondering, “Where did the time go?”
When I look back at the past 12 months, there’s many things that come to mind. I’d like to say those things are all wonderful, but that would be a lie. The world is a much different place than it was when we rang in 2017 and not all of it is good.
There’s been natural disasters, including record-breaking hurricanes and wildfires. There’s been devastating acts of hatred like the Vegas concert massacre and terrorist attacks around the globe and even inside a church.
And there’s been that guy who masqueraded as the leader of one of the most advanced countries on the planet, whose preferred methods of communication have been taunting tweets, inappropriate insults and unwarranted accusations. Try as I might, it’s hard to look back at the past year and not think of him and be very concerned for us all.

| MISS KITTY SAYS SEASONS GREETINGS |
I’ve continued to experience periods of depression and anxiety and increased chronic pain, while watching my dog Timmi rapidly “show his age”.
On the flip side, I got to visit with my cousins in the Ottawa Valley and take a road trip with an old friend. I shared the excitement of the birth of my cousin Megan’s baby Joe and friend Shanny’s beautiful boy Liam. I enjoyed a sleepover at my friends Doug & Heather’s campsite, attended Bylynnda & Phil's wedding, took in local concerts with my friend Shelley, had a gay old time at Pride in the Park with sister Jane, did lots of stuff with my mom and gave out goodies to over 70 kids on Halloween at my sister Kim's place.
Many of you got new pets, new jobs or new homes. You went on vacations, you celebrated holidays, including Canada’s 150th birthday, you took some amazing photos of your day-to-day lives and one of you has even put their name on the ballot to be mayor of their town next fall. And as always, we were there to share these things with your fellow Scribbles pals.
Here’s wishing each of you a wonderful holiday season and a new year filled with lots of great moments which we’ll all be talking about next year at this time.
Your friend,
Ken
