Thanks for stopping by for another edition of T stands for Tuesday! 
After several glorious days of way above normal temps that took away all of our snow…the cold has returned and as well as the snow. And the bonus…there is a wonderful layer of ice underneath. Treacherous driving conditions today for sure. Too bad I had to drive J to school this morning when his bus never showed…
I’m having a cup of tea….Earl Grey…while I get some work done preparing for Christmas Eve and Day that we’ll be hosting here.
Notice the goblet behind…there is quite a story behind that one involving one finicky Miss Gracie. This table is the only one she is allowed on in the house and she respects that rule completely. You see, it’s an endtable that sits under the front window adjacent to her cat perch and scratching post. I tend to sit on the couch next to the table such as today with my tea. A few weeks ago I spied her drinking out of my water glass on that table repeatedly. Ewww. She doesn’t typically drink enough water so this was a good sign…except, again…ewww…my water. So I went to Goodwill and bought her a fancy goblet of her very own to drink from. She loves it and now hopefully will be more healthy with a proper amount of water. 
Last evening was the Holiday concert at the high school. This being our first year with a high schooler we didn’t know what to expect. It was beautiful. I was amazed at how many students participate in choir. For the final number they had all of the choirs on stage together plus invited an alumni(only 4 yrs worth)to join in singing the traditional closing song. There we so many kids that they were in the wings of the theatre. So awesome!
My gorgeous poinsettia from the concert. A wonderful but late night…for a school night.
Today…back to reality. Housework, baking, wrapping the last couple gifts and checking the packing mini-me did for her 6th grade trip tomorrow.
What are you doing today?
Gracie is a prima dona and knows her crystal hah!
I swore by Yak Traks when we were in Colorado and there was ice = such a great invention! Ice can be treacherous.
I bet the concert was wonderful…when children sing I always seem to cry…it is so sweet and beautiful.
Fa la laa
oxo
I love the fancy goblet just for the kitty :) I’m glad the concert went well. The poinsettia is certainly pretty. Happy T Tuesday!
Chrystal for the cat…….LOVE IT!!!!!
Christmas music is my favorite and of course when sung by children it tops the charts.
Almost through the T list, then I think I will do some baking today. It is raining off and on this morning, just a light rain, so I think I’ll make the house smell like Christmas…..LOL
Happy T-day
I had to laugh! My last cat, Chakra (before Karma) liked to sneak a drink out of the fish bowl that was the residence of Bubbles the Betta. Stolen water always tastes better to a cat. LOL! I LOVE your solution!!
Looks like quite a production at the school–wow! Lovely poinsettia!! Happy T-Day! :)
What a beautiful goblet for your kitty! So precious. I too love to hear children singing Carols, they seem so much more poignant some how.
Happy T Day (just in time) :o))
What a wonderful post. It must have been a magical night for all the kids AND the parents. I’m certain it was impressive for your entire family.
Bleubeard is now jealous of Gracie. Actually, he has never tried to drink out of my glass, I guess because I use a mug with a lid on it. But Gracie apparently has great taste, anyway.
Sorry I’m late visiting. Kathy came to Wichita today and we went shopping, then I took her to lunch as part of her Christmas gift.
so wonderful to hear about a music program that is doing well. your school is fortunate to have a director who gets the students enthusiastic enough to actually visit as alumni! hope your high schooler enjoys the program to the fullest. the cat’s goblet made me smile…too funny! ;) happy T day, and joyous holidays!
One spoiled and lucky kitty ♥ Be careful on that ice!
