Dear Maria~

Hi! Thanks for your letter; I really was entertained by your description of "Furball" furring out at the other kitty! LOL She must have looked a sight!! LOL I know how it is when my daughter Ronee' 's cat, "Cajun" (a Maine Coon, but she is a tortoisehell with white; she is really pretty!) acts when another cat (or strange dog) sees her or crosses her territory! Instant POOFBALL of FUR!! LOL

It was nice to hear from you, and I was so happy to know that you and "Furball" are reunited! I bet you cried BUCKETS when you took your cat into your arms again!! That must have been AGONIZING not knowing her whereabouts or if you'd ever see her alive again!!

I am waiting for yet another load of clothes to dry; seems that the laundry got away from me again! I seem to have more and more laundry each time I do it!! Sheesh!! I also have been baking and I also have been trying to get the house in top shape prior to our company's arrival (we are getting company from Colorado, Louisana, Texas, Alaska, and even as far away as FINLAND coming to our house for Christmas!!). It will be a very crazy, busy time, but it will be sooo nice to see everyone again (in particular my kids who live away from home and my son in law and especially my GRANDBABIES!! I will get to spoil 'em again! LOL Hey, after all, I AM their grandmere'!

Ooops! The bell sounded; guess it is time for me to get the clothes and then fold them and put yet another load in. SIGGGGH!! I will write more next time! Until later, if I don't see you for Christmas, you have a very merry one and you have a good New Year too! Hope 2006 is much better for you!! Will be praying for you extra hard!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend, Louie May Sandusky. :D
