and alive for the most part. I came down with a very nasty upper
respiratory type ailment just before we left Australia. Actually on
Thursday I thought perhaps I was simply overwhelmed with all there was
to see and do, then on Friday I thought, maybe this is a bug of some
sort. On Saturday (when I spent 25 hours on planes and in airports)
there was no question I was getting sick.  I spent this past week in bed
too exhausted to turn on a computer.

The cats have been perfect nurses and I'm feeling much better having
spent a week in bed with five cats :)

Now I'm ready to finalize the holiday card list. I have two names to add
to the list but am giving everyone one final chance to join if you
haven't already done so. I'll be sending the finalized list out
tomorrow, I hope. If you aren't on the list and would like to be please
send your name and snail mail address to me at GaDragonfly at comcast
dot net.

ps: I have missed so many posts I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up
so we're sending out blanket purrs and and purrayers for everyone
needing them.
