We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
I am thankful that Brody is a lap cat. He prefers my hubby, but he does pay me a visit a couple times a day.
I skipped the poem this week as I have been busy preparing for our Christmas open house this Sunday. In addition to cleaning and decorating we bottled wine and made horseradish. I am a teetotaler, but my hubby likes to make wine and most people seem to like it. This year it is Ruby Cabernet.
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.
1. ________________made me smile recently.
2. I am looking forward to seeing ___________________over the holidays.

We love Brody Yeah!
Thank you. 🙂 I love him too. XO
That wine sounds good and festive. Wouldn’t mind trying some LOL.
Thank you. 🙂 I wish you could try some. XO
My human has never had a lap cat. Probably because her lap is too fidgety!
That must be why. 🙂
LOVE Brody the lap-kitty. Hey, a couple of times a day is a lot! I was a lap kitty and then preferred my couch as I aged. But maybe I’ll try again to perch on the knees when we watch TV. Open house? Wow. Wish we were there.
Thank you. 🙂 He came a long way from semi-feral. I wish you could come to the open house. XO
It is nice that Brody is a lap cat.
Yes, he is a sweet guy. XO
Hope your party is a big success – I know it will be – you make lots of delish food and I’m sure it will be a fun time for everyone. We know your hubby makes GREAT wine (tee hee)……….Brody is so adorable I’m really happy he’s a lap cat.
Hugs, Pam

Thank you for these great answers. XO
Brody and your Hubby, it’s a guy thing! Ruby Cabernet… how interesting. I am excited for you all for the Christmas Open House. That is a special kind of festive.
Thank you. 🙂 XO
Sweet photo. Have fun on Sunday!
Thank you. 🙂 XO
How interesting that you make wine. How long does it take? Do you squish the grapes with your feet like I LOVE LUCY?
We used to make it with our grapes ( concords) so we had to put them through a crusher ( no feet 🙂 ) This time my hubby bought the juice from a local store that sells wine supplies. You add yeast to that and in a few days you put it in a 5 gallon carboy and leave it for almost a year then you bottle it. Bottling is a big project too becaue you need to sterilize the bottles. I Love Lucy too. XO
Yay Brody!! Ellen I know your open house will be a huge success.
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. 🙂 XO
Brody is a sweetie! Enjoy your Open House…sounds like fun!
Thank you. 🙂
I love wine AND horseradish but I don’t know how to make either. I bet both are really good!
Horseradish is much easier to make. 🙂 XO
My comment said service unavailable. Bugger.
I love lap cats. I’ve had many and love them all.
Take some pictures of your open house and pass me a glass of wine.
I’m all ready for the Friendly Fill-ins.

Good- I am sure your mum loves that. I wish you lived near us so your mum could come to the open house. XO
Brody, you’ve come a long way, baby!
He sure has. 🙂
Lap cats are wonderful !
Be careful if you are bottling wine & horseradish at the same time ! A mix up could be drastic !
I agree. LOL! We did it on different days. 🙂
you are so lucky to have a lap cat! Would you believe not a single one of my kitties is a lap cat!!!
Most of the cats like my hubby’s lap, only Brody likes mine too and Sammy likes to be by my side.XO
Laps are the best!
He thinks so. 🙂
Oh my whiskers, your mom has been busy! Our human has been a bit of a grinch this year but we still love her and do spend some quality time in her lap.
Purrs, Head Bonks and Holiday Greetings,
Alberto, Oliver, Lily and the grinchy Human
Snuggling with her will get the Grinch out. 🙂
Brody is an equal opportunity lap cat. 🙂
We made dandelion wine this spring (based on an old family recipe) and it turned out good. I would like to try rhubarb wine sometime (another family recipe).
My hubby has not tried either of those, but he has done pear, strawberry, blueberry, pumpkin and ground cherry. XO

Thank you. 🙂 XO
Oh My Goodness, Brody sure knows what he wants when he wants it. Dad says I prefer his lap, and mom says I prefer hers. I just let them fight it out.
Most of the cats prefer my hubby’s,maybe because I usually have a laptop on mine. 🙂
