It's That Time of The Year!

That's right, and I don't mean the Holiday Season either (although it is that too, yipee!). What I'm talking about is the time of year when it's cold enough to finally break out my Hudson's Bay Company Point Blanket!

I absolutely LOVE my Hudson's Bay blanket!  My wonderful husband Steve got me this for Christmas in 2009. The Hudson's Bay point blanket and coat played a huge roll in the fur trade industry in Canada with the native population from 1670 on, leading to the birth of a nation!  Click the link here Origin of the Hudson's Bay Company to learn more about the history of the Hudson's Bay Company of Canada, the Fur Trade and the Point Blanket.  One Hudson's Bay point blanket was used in a Canadian home for over 50 years after being salvaged from a wreck on Lake Superior and spending several years under water!  This I learned from the pamphlet chalk full of information that comes with the blanket.
  
Now Freddie, he's not as excited about the blanket as I am.  He's not allowed to go on the bed until one of the hounds sheets covers it at night.

"Why Momma?"  "Why can't I go on your blanket?"

Sorry Freddie Spaghetti.  No hound fur on the blanket!  Besides you've got bigger things to brood about after Detroit got all those bad penalties against the Saints last night! :(

Now, Gloria.  She just doesn't care!

"'Cause while Freddie's brooding, she's in the big comfy chair!
