Purring Cat

Dailure, there's something very calming about holding a cat, in your arms or watching one, which is sleeping and purring at the same time. 

I would like to see mountains!  Living in Florida is nice but the landscape is, well there is very little landscape.  Palm trees look like telephone polls, even with holiday lights strung on them.

Daily Drag-12/25/08

Christmas....Bah Humbug!  There's something in the air and it's not the snow in Miami.  There's a feeling of impending doom.  What's going to happen in 2009?  How many more jobs will be lost?  How many more people will not be able to keep their homes?  

Shopping Malls are a Drag

Daily Drag
I would say being in a shopping mall around the holidays qualifies being under the 'Daily Drags' category. Because I'm lazy and a procrastinator I get what I deserve; suffering with the throngs of other lazy and procrastinator type of people. And people were NOT in a good mood today. I detected quite a lot of tension, wonder if it has anything to do with the ECONOMY? Duh.

Elisabet's arrival

Elisabet arrived from Spain last Thursday!

Grandmother's Plates

Okay, these aren't MY grandmother's plates but I wanted an image.  Last night we had friends for dinner and we used some of my grandmother Sherry's plates.  It really does give me pleasure to set the table with them.  They are always a conversation starter and people really enjoy eating off of them. 

Isn't it pretty?  It is and it's happening all the northwest and northeast.  But I'm living in Miami and this is without snow and not a bad place to be in December 2008.  

Last night I had the most wonderful Chinese food.  It was a first after having lived in Miami for 10 years I had all but given up of ever finding a good Chinese restaurant.  My faith has been restored!

Pulse Art Fair, one of the two-hundred satellite shows of Art Basel, was really interesting.  We went to about ten fairs and it didn't cost a penny (I had entrance tickets).  I so love this time of year in Miami!
