I can attest that that would have been a very bad thing when we first met about that long ago... YOU HAVE GROWN SO MUCH!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

Long day here with snow and snooring pupz... In and out the back door as the cold was crapping my legz and they hurt so badly today... All good now... Mean MumTheBum makes Weezer get down as she sleeps right in front of the fire on the sofa. After she\'s been there, the seat is PREWARMED... See how evil I am??? Usually she gets down anyway as it\'s too hot for her... Onward for me to do just that so I can watch news and get these legz warmer than at my computer...

Love to you and Mom and Dad and everybody in CT!!! have a GREAT EVENING!!! Guy has a very warm fire in the woodburner (you do know it is our only heat, right? we have no furnace... crazy I know but free...) so we\'re all NICE AND COZY!!! xoxoxo Cj

Hi Chris, what a lovely day you had shopping and you got some amazing presents for your family for Christmas that they are going to love. I like the mugs you got for your family, and like the way you and your family love to collect them each year. You and your family must have quite a collection of them. Your family is going to love their presents from you. I enjoyed seeing your pictures of your writing area and the two Chrsitmas posters, the one of the cute adorable penguin I liked very much. Hugs x
