Either I was better organized this year or had more time. I got my
cards done faster than I thought I would. Although I will admit some
of the writing isn't the best(due to tired hand and spasms) and I had
a few places I had to use White-out.(which is old and no longer
white!) But I had a good time writing them all out.

After turning them over to the postmaster to stamp, I got my mail. And
there were several cards! Lydia, I love that up-side-downy head! And,
Lori, your picture story was great! Marina, your card is great, and I
loved the stamp! I always enjoy the cards so much and seeing the
foreign stamps, too.

Other news...We got only the edge of the ice storm, and a few inches
of snow. Today was so warm the streets in town were slush. But we are
purring and praying for all those thousands and millions of people in
the ice disaster.

Cold nights now. Djoser burrows under the covers next to my belly and
Robin holds my feet down while Sheba breathes warm air in  my face!
Such thoughtful, loving masters!

Djoser is especially solicitous of my health. He supervises and
"helps" me with my exercises for my Frozen Shoulder. Trouble is, the
Therapist told me to use a one pound weight; not a 12 pound cat! At
least he doesn't interf...uh, I mean "help" when I use the pulley and
the Theraband. But he likes my back and leg strengthening exercises
best of all. My back groans under the weight of the purring cat on my
stomach as I suspend my torso between my feet and shoulders!

I was careful how I decorated my Tree for young Robin. But he didn't
even "help" me! And he ignores the tree. But he loves to sit on the
rug in front of the tree and stare at the snowmen collection
underneath. Is he expecting them to come to life? A couple of them are
music boxes. I wonder what he would do if I wound them up? ;->

Happy Holidays to all!
