She gave me back the copy of A Cup of Christmas Tea that I had given Grandma, with a lengthy note written in it, and she gave me Grandma's little notebook, where she kept her list of books. My mother understood what Grandma and I shared. It was important to keep those memories.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-67325087296087553602010-11-27T08:15:29.095-06:002010-11-27T08:15:29.095-06:00Kathy,

(grin) That is where we put the tree for a few years, until we got Josh. And, he's sitting on my lap right now, purring away. But, no tree this year, no matter what he says!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-3762978692307778322010-11-26T18:47:10.818-06:002010-11-26T18:47:10.818-06:00What a beautiful post Lesa, your attitude of grate...What a beautiful post Lesa, your attitude of gratefulness is so inspiring. This is such an honor to Jim, you were both blessed to have each other. I lost my dear grandmother this summer and miss her immensely. I treasure her memories and try to focus on all the life lessons that she gave me. I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving spending it the way you chose to.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838832109510581167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-20273382689233383322010-11-26T18:17:17.452-06:002010-11-26T18:17:17.452-06:00Jinx must have been adorable carrying that cat toy...Jinx must have been adorable carrying that cat toy around.<br /><br />Yes, cats and Christmas trees and decorations and wires. There are so many warnings about this now and cats chewing on things. <br /><br />Hope it works out.

Then, I want to go see the new movie, The King's Speech, on Sunday morning. It still takes me a while to decorate, but I haven't put up a tree for the last couple years. My older cats are fine with trees, but I have the feeling Josh would be a disaster. He likes to eat things - telephone cords, computer cords. He's never outgrown it (sigh), so I don't know what he'd do with a tree.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-24941675412501823372010-11-26T12:24:59.868-06:002010-11-26T12:24:59.868-06:00Lesa, you are so well-organized, it puts us to sha...Lesa, you are so well-organized, it puts us to shame.<br /><br />I finished Barbara Fister's book, read three New York Times' issues, did the puzzles and rewatched the thriller "No Way Out."<br /><br />Productive, I think not. <br /><br />And Jinx does sound like a joy.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-23350755912608698762010-11-26T10:10:46.259-06:002010-11-26T10:10:46.259-06:00Thank you, kathy.
