Posted by on Dec 31, 2023 | 16 comments

Thank you everyone, merci, for your thoughts and friendship during this not-so-easy-to-deal-with year. We are so glad you are on this earth...

Well, we just got too involved with wonderful Lunapic images and then mama FORGOT which ones she used, but she does wish to give Lunapic a hats off and merci for helping so often with our blog this year! Ms Ellen turned us on to Lunapic and mama can’t seem to try any other app yet. It really is addicting, I feel, as there are so many effects to...

Well, we are simply thankful for all of you and so sorry that my blog is acting up. I can get it on Google but evidently some of you cannot open it. All it is saying anyway is thanks for YOU. And for good stretching every now and then. And for doggies, we must not forget doggies who are, of course, second-class citizens in the kitty world, but we aim to...

Hey, are those reindeer coming tonight? Darn, my calendar is OFF! But I have more Xmas treats today even if it’s not THE day. Our dear friend, my aunty Jane Louise Curry, of the doll-house-xmas tableau, sent these to mama yesterday and we loved them. A children’s book author is so creative!!!

Our long time friend, Jane Louise Curry, who writes books for young adults, sent us this photo yesterday of her Christmas doll house tableau/creche (?) from the 1930s that she has set up every year for the holidays wherever she is living.

(View his soldiers online, if you wish.) Well, these holidays are bringing memories of other, calmer times. So our spark today is to remember loved ones who are not here, one of whom is mama’s brother who from the age of 14 began making lead soldiers and tableaux of things like Hannibal Crossing The Alps and so much more, and each Christmas mama puts...

Dream FX from Lunapic, but mama has no idea what FX stands for. We just like the colors! But I love, especially, the delineation of my hairs on my little bod and the sparkling jelly bean paws. The whole shebang just gave us a tickle, and right about now in December, we’ll take all the tickles we can get, haha....
