A Cat-Proof Solution
Lew and I finished decorating our "tree" today! It was a task that spanned several days.
I purchased the triangle shelf, light, and garland on Amazon.
I strung up the garland on a peg board that we had attached to the wall several years ago. ("Strung up" = used paper clips!)
Lew installed the triangle shelf and light. He said it was a tougher project than it may appear to be.
The tree skirt is exactly that — a tree skirt that we already had. Lew suggested I cut it, but I didn't want to. I like the 3-D appearance.
I broke only two, inconsequential ornaments.
The light isn't on in the picture, but imagine a colored light fading into another color... and another... and another.
Not pictured: A bunch of ornaments hanging from the beam in our living room! 🎄

Dad 743: A Penny Prayer
(Dad writes today. Praying for an acquittal for Daniel Penny. ~ Tracy)
Derf Here! Another bright sunny start to the day. Temps at the beginning of the day were around freezing. Temps around 30s now at noon. However, the weather guys say snow this afternoon late and continuing overnight. We still have no snow along the coast, and probably won't get any tonight. Snow areas are all open for skiing. Let's keep the snow inland and none on the coast. (Although I don't think that will work!)
Now back to watching on television the hunt for the suspect that shot and killed the CEO from the insurance group who was in the Big Apple for a meeting. Also waiting for the verdict in the Daniel Penny case. He should not be in court for protecting people on the subway. He was a hero for the train riders. Why does it take more than one day for jury deliberations?
Congratulations to Zach for a 3-0 start to the basketball season!
Until next time!
Toodle Pip!
Derf!
