MERRY CHRISTMAS, ML...((HUGS))

What did you have to eat?

[radu]

Ma needs to learn what a bed is for, huh? Maybe I need to put the Canteen Curfew Cop back on the job. LOL!

Currently, the “herd” numbers 37. We’ve lost a lot of kitties over the years but have also had several newbies show up.
Oh, we have 38 critters counting Wilbur, our potbelly pig. Can’t leave him out, can we?

[radu]

I know what happens when you are left to your own devices.

That's a scary thought, isn't it? ROTFL!

Get those gifts wrapped. We'll be here when you get back.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi radu, thanks for the lovely graphic.

Merry Christmas to all my friends in Tenn. HUGS

[radu]

Hey there Feathers! Yep, the year is almost over and the new one is just around the corner. EGADS! Where did the year go??
Hoping for a happy and prosperous one for us all.

Merry Christmas too you both and the troops!

[MoJo2001]

Hi JJ!

Moochelle was not invited

Oh...and I got to handle an item that is unusually lightweight and well balanced for its apparent size and scary look.

It is black and weighs much less than the Russian Model that came out in 1947.

I want one for Christmas! maybe next year.

[Soaring Feather]

Ma is probably in better shape to wrap, I have been partying since 5:00p.m.— no booze for me anyway, had to hold all those babies, our youngest great grand is 11 days young.

[MoJo2001]

Santa can deliver your Potbelly piggy! Radu started a trend! Since Ma and Santa are the same age, she should tell Santa to deliver it to you ASAP!

[left that other site]

I know. I know.

I’ll shoot my eye out.

[MoJo2001]

Wow! 11 days young? I bet they’re all beautiful like you! Ma, did you wrap Queenie’s gift yet? According to NORAD, Santa is already close to Queenie’s house.

[radu]

Be careful what you ask for! I wanted one for years, too, but had one of the cute little ones in mind. Instead, we have a 300+ pounder! Definitely not a house pig. LOL! But he's my buddy.

*HUGZ* backatcha, JJ!
