Thank you...it was an honor in a very historic period of time. I feel unworthy.

Howdy, Kathy.

Did you get your car gassed up today? Had to be hard making yourself leave the warm confines of home to venture out into the cold. BRRR!!!

Golly! It's that time of the year again? Seems like we just had this series. I guess I *blinked*!

Thanks for presenting it, galz...it was truly a memorable event.

Now that Blue is in hibernation, my options for “FUN” have been greatly reduced!

Penny cooperates on “Business” walks, but really doesn’t like the cold too much, even with her lovely winter coat that she got last year. So today I stayed in mostly, and worked on my book...which was inspired by an FR Thread.

More to come....

Howdy, PRO!

Have a good day? Another afternoon of college football or did you and son-boy find some mischief to get into?

Howdy, LUV.

The year HAS gone by quickly this year, hasn’t it? I had pretty much the same reaction as you. LOL!
But it’s always a pleasure to read about it each year.

How was your day?

Well, so many FReepers remarked favorably about the Jerusalem Thread’s study of the Ark of the Covenant, so I am putting together a 96 Day Devotional based on that series.

First I had to retrieve all the threads.
Then I had to edit them and put them into a publishing format, and store them on my computer in a workable file system.

THEN, I had to change ALL the Scripture references to King James because that is the ONLY Translation that is in the Public Domain. (That is what I am doing right now)

It will take time.

It is a wonderful story of how compassionate and fierce our military are. They make me so proud!

We had a good day. Hubby was gone a lot for church stuff, and Dulcie slept a lot. I think she’s sleeping too much. I go in there and sit with her, but since she can’t hear me, there’s nothing to stimulate her. I need to buy her some magazines!

She’s eating well and is still her smiling self...until we accidentally hurt her when we have to move her around for stuff. Tomorrow will be busy. The nurse, the therapist and her other son and DIL will be over here. Which means another early morning. ugh. I guess I’d better get used to it, huh.

How was your day? Was it warm enough to spend time out...you and the kitties? I guess your girlies will go for their life change tomorrow, huh. Hope all goes well for them. Can’t believe they’re already old enough for that!

Getting old....you and me both. LOL!

But this story must continue to be told...important history must not be forgotten.

Glad the day went by with no panic-mode episodes. She’s probably sleeping a lot out of boredom more than anything. I hope you luck up on something she can entertain herself with.

It does sound like she won’t be bored tomorrow though! :-)

It was a little chilly today and there was a brisk wind that didn’t help. I let the cats go out but they were ready to come back in within an hour. All except Roxy. I couldn’t get her to come to my call before leaving to visit Aunt Clara and she wasn’t around when I got home. I walked around calling, fed the other cats, went out and called again (it was dark by then, and cold), and FINALLY found her holed up in one of the sheds. I’d checked it a few times already but she apparently hid from sight those time, the stinker! She was shivering pretty hard and I hope she learned a lesson. I doubt it.

Yes, Willow and Lorien will go to the vet tomorrow afternoon and stay overnight. That way they’ll be there when it’s time for their surgeries bright and early Tues. morning. We’ll repeat the process next Mon. with Hollian and Sophie.
It’s hard for me to believe they’re old enough already, too, especially since I can see how tiny they are for their age. That doesn’t really get across in pix.

And they did a fantabulous job!
They say necessity is the mother of invention. It was a critical situation and they were able to figure out a way to pull it off, saving many lives.
