@Purdee , beautiful ages to watch them explore the magic of Christmas. Our Grandson is 14 and it was wonderful watching him through each Christmas, how his interests changed…as Grandparents we were able to almost stand back and appreciate him so much more without all those parental Christmas responsibilities!
Dont tell Dan, but there’ll be more! Bahahaha!!

I totally fell in love with the ginger girl in the front row! Many women my age would kill for that all natural colour of hair instead of what's available in bottles.

My morning started quite early ( again ) as I had slept soundly for many hours ( unintentionally ) from 8 p.m. till 2 a.m.
I woke up on the long sofa in the basement very befuddled? T.V. was off, lights all out.....
Hmmmm did the cats spike my drink so they could romp through the presents under the tree upstairs?
This adorable culprit was doggy shamed after setting off the fire alarm at doggy daycare.

Let's pause for a moment and think of that last phrase.....DOGGY DAYCARE. My parents would " howl " at that if they were alive. They would both think it was a bad joke as people from their lifetime usually had dogs sleeping outside somewhere and fed them table scraps.

Now enjoy.

Good morning!

So a deal was made to release that basketball player, trading her for a gun dealer! Must come as a surprise to all those OTHER parents, loved ones in other countries in the world who have been petitioning the government for YEARS to help in their family members’ release! And many of them aren’t guilty of anything! Wow. Absolutely unbelievable!!!

Ok! On with the day….!

I am not that concerned who was traded to get Brittney home, I'm just thrilled she is coming home!! Honestly, there was NO crime on her part, weed is legal in so many places, good grief! Jailed for that?! O.K. so the whole thing reeks with Paul Whelan still imprisoned in Russia, I hope they can eventually make a prisoner swap for his release too.

Just popping in to say hi. Has anyone heard from Natalka? Looks like she hasn't posted since July.

Unfortunately, @walkonby , although weed is legal in so many places, it makes a difference which country you're in. If it's illegal there, you get jailed. Best to know the rules before internationally travelling. Being a "celebrity" makes no difference.
Unless you're a celebrity basketball player, I guess.
But you're right: there are many who are truly innocent yet languish in filthy prisons because they can't handle a basketball.
Best to be respectful of a country's rules and norms...for instance, when we visited Turkey, Egypt, I had a very light long-sleeved shirt over my tank top. It's just respectful, that's all.

Btw...have you ever watched some program called something like "imprisoned Abroad" or some such? I haven't, but I hear it's a great eye-opener!
