Terrible the Cat
This is Terrible Twin, one of the two brothers I had at Big Gulch. I loved those two boys. They live up near Baker's Peak now.
Parade of Lights
Our very own Santa and Mrs. Claus, George and Anne Kidder. George drives the mail truck when he is not being Santa. The beard is all his own.

Our orthopedic ward
Terry and I note, with some amusement, our version of Animal Hospital. We have a geriatric ward where the two old-lady cats live. When they come out of their apartment, we have to be very careful where we walk as they are slow moving around the floor.
We have an oncology ward, where Sadie lives--on a pile of straw outside my ground-level office.
And, finally, the orthopaedic ward with Charlie, who is doing quite well. It has not been fun for any of us, especially Charlie. He has a cast on his right back leg and is terribly off balance. His fractured left pelvis has knitted together enough that he puts weight on that leg (at first, he just pulled himself along with his front legs). We, or Charlie to be more exact, have had considerable challenges as he figures out how to pee and poop. I have rarely, since my babies were little, had to worry about poop. First, we worried that he couldn't poop. He can, he just doesn't, thus requiring a trip to the doc who irrigated little Charlie until he did.
As you can see, aside from the cast still on his leg, Charlie is doing well. He actually took the time to bite and scratch me today, which means he is feeling much better.
The cast may come off in four days.

Cranberry Relish
Every year for the last 10 or 15 or 20 years, I've made this relish. I love it. Most people don't quite know what to do with it, but it is delicious on turkey and on pork. It looks like ice cream with a horseradish kick, Yum!
Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish Recipe
2 cups raw cranberries
1 small onion
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons horseradish
Grind together the cranberries and onion, add the remaining ingredients and mix. Put in a plastic container and freeze. On Thanksgiving morning, move the mixture to the refrigerator to thaw.
Makes 1 1/2 pints.
