Mine...sorry to hear you had an ordinary Christmas.<br /><br />Mine was with family at the Gold Coast, in the humidity of the non existent (monsoonal) rain we've had this month (and last month... for a while!)<br /><br />As I said on my blog, we were trapped in town on Monday afternoon/evening by floodwaters when they cut off the bridges on the two routes we could have taken home.<br /><br />We (Mum and I) finally got a lift throught the floodwaters over the bridge and to our door from a kind neighbour (we didn't know them before this) at 9:30pm, and I must bake them a cake to say thanks! (And write a letter to the local paper.)kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819693069445947851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-184568617416273895.post-74835801833362138602010-12-30T05:49:28.103+00:002010-12-30T05:49:28.103+00:00thank you for your kind words. the neighbour is n...thank you for your kind words. the neighbour is now working to make sure his wife is settled. they live in a community that is to take them to, as i say, to the grave. he will ensure she will move into a smaller place rather than the home they have now. <br />i grew up with dogs, we only introduced cats into our household with a present to me..our dear tabitha who was killed playing her favourite game..running between car wheels as they moved. she had 5 kittys. her runt died at 18. <br />i decided my daughter needed a pet, the canary (who lived 18 years) wasn't doing it for her. she needed a pet to hold. all small rodents were out of the question for me. a dog - which i would have preferred - was out of the question for a single working mother. too high maintenance. so we found a calico cat from a farm. and neve was more than accomacating to our lifestyle. she was a different cat than i have ever known.. she actually barked! she never groomed us, and never grew more than 4 pounds i could go onmissredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231036948849802445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-184568617416273895.post-19312575015117100042010-12-30T04:22:49.516+00:002010-12-30T04:22:49.516+00:00Welcome back. Talk about an up and down Christmas...Welcome back. Talk about an up and down Christmas! Naturally, I am sorry to hear about the neighbor. Here's a prayer that, if a miraculous cure is out of the question, that the transition to the next life will be as gentle as God can make it.<br /><br />And my heart goes out to you for the loss of your kitty cat. I remember each of the four cats I have shared time with and the grief I felt when they moved on. I have nothing against dogs. I like them a lot, in fact, but I have never been able to be home enough to have one. Cats, on the other hand, worked just fine. The quirky little beasts really grow on you. <br /><br />Look at it this way, the New Year is definitely looking like an improvement.Nashville Beathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946662890622040279noreply@blogger.com
