Thanksgiving

Another week of Thankfuls. And, with Thanksgiving approaching I am indeed full of so much to be thankful for. God is Good! My thankfuls include:
  • a cat that thinks the spray bottle is a game. To deter scratching of furniture we have a bottle that has water, vinegar, and hot sauce. This seemed to deter him for awhile. Now, when we sit in our chairs, he comes, looks at us, and if we don't spray, he will start scratching. We spray, he runs off, licks the liquid off, and returns for another dose.
  • prospects of a new vacuum cleaner.
  • making it through a very busy 10 1/4 hour work day on Thursday. "Dinner" consisted of a granola bar eaten on the fly, and a couple of cheese sandwich crackers.
  • enjoying making Christmas cards.
  • knowing that we can trust the Lord to meet our needs, both big and little. And, that He knows our needs better than we do, and that His timing is perfect in meeting those needs.
  • time (and energy) to reorganize my pantry this week. And thankful that I have a pantry to reorganize.
  • enjoying fall in the south.
  • browsing the grocery store with hubby.

The stories you tell about your cat just scare me. He seems to be a glutton for punishment. Maybe you should spray him with HolyWater instead? ;-)

Have you tried lemon juice, or essence yet? I seem to remember hearing somewhere that cats don't like lemon. Though I do like dj's idea :)

DJ, methinks you need a pet.

999: As much as Max likes vinegar I am afraid he would really love the lemon juice! But, maybe we should try it.
