Ahhh the joys of having a kitten.  I remember well what it is like.  Happy New Year to you!!!

You're right about the kids/job etc. When l had my drapery business, l wore a lot of hats, salesperson, buyer, "boss", administration/payroll, always multi-tasking. Now retired, my mind hasn't hit lower gear yet, but l keep in my mind " this one thing l do, and do well"...keeps me from flitting about ,llol.

Mary, hope you can post the pic of Mouse sleeping in your arms.  Very cute, I am sure.  To friend someone, go to their page and click on add as friend on the left under their profile picture.  Merry Christmas to you...

Good morning Mary.  I finally got around to seeing the invite to swapping fun.  I joined, but not sure what swap I will try.  Thank you for thinking of me.  I read your comment about add.  I am sure I have it, our son has adhd.  My sister says she has add and her solution is to have a project in every room so when she gets there she will have something to do.  

How is Mouse doing???

follow a list and get out?  what a concept! can it be done? 

Talk about add....my favorite joke of the week is...

"Why, if l had a dollar for every time l got distracted, l'd...Oh look! Another quilt pattern !"

You see, l completely understand. l can't walk into a busy dept. store w/o feeling tired & drained from "concentrating" on the task at hand. I need to put on the mental "blinders", follow my list , and get out!

I think that is just our luck.  When we moved to the Seattle area we were told it hardly ever snowed.  That Thanksgiving we had several inches and were housebound for a few days.  Plus, we lived on a hill that was just enough higher that we had more snow than others.  However, it started to rain and was gone in less than a day.  Mouse sounds like a lot of fun...  I can just see him wiggling back and forth waiting to jump.

Good morning Mary.  This is my first online group too.  I do have a facebook account, but it isn't the same as this one.  I like this one so much better.  You are right the ladies are friendly, encouraging, and lots of fun comments and good advice.

Our pipes got fixed the other day.  What a mess it was, but could have been worse.  When the plumber was here he said he was at a house around the corner that had pvc pipes instead of copper and they froze then shattered.  They had water in a lot of the house, had to get someone out to clean up water on carpets and floors.  

Hope you have a good day...
