Hi everyone,

Well, I finally got logged back in so I can now check in on all the goings on! I'll have to have Andrea show me how to include photos. Anyway as you saw from Janelle's posting, we had a wonderful gathering at her house for Thanksgiving. It's always great to get caught up with everyone.

I just returned from LA to help Lauren through the death of her little cat Cleo who had had health problems for the last couple of years. It's always so sad to lose a pet, as we all know. We buried her in the planter at Dad's/Dylan's house next to the remains of my childhood cat, Kitty Bo. Then to cheer Lauren up, we painted a couple of walls in her condo and bought her a new bed. I enjoyed spending some time with her even though it was for a sad event.

I am playing catch up this week since my trip down south with unexpected so I better get busy or there will be no presents under the tree!

Karen
