Kitties and tea kettles

Maine Coon kitties love cold weather, they were born to it.  However, it does seem to make them (and me) lethargic. 

She normally sits up and looks out the window.  She's often looking out when one of us is gone from the house.  But these days she is laying down and looking out.

She tells me it is easier that way to keep track of her domain.  I say she has a bad case of winter lethargic...

I stopped by Goodwill while I was running errands yesterday and found a few goodies.  Including... something wonderful.  Just when I was losing faith in the ability to find anything outstanding at Goodwill (good stuff but not outstanding), I came across this...

A Le Cruset' tea kettle very much like the one I uh... burnt up a long time ago.  The reason why every tea kettle since then has had a whistle.  It looks like it has only been used a few times.  I love it!

My husband doesn't have the memory he used to but when he saw the tea kettle, he said it looks just like the one I melted.  I guess destroying such an expensive tea kettle sticks in his brain.  This one cost me just a few dollars.

Someday I hope to replace my ancient Le Cruset' dutch oven (one can only wish they'd find one of THOSE while thrifting).
