The Nicest Christmas Card Came Today: by Diane Ogden


I haven't been at my blog desk for a long time.  Sometimes life sends us lemons and it also sometimes takes certain people, me, longer than others to figure out how to make lemonade out of them.  I must have lost my squeezer somewhere along the way this year.  I am still working on squeezing them one by one by  hand.  And with a degree of osteo arthritis, it is taking me longer than usual.  Obviously I do not have osteo of the brain.  And possibly it was a bad analogy.  Either way.....I am coming out of it.  Thank God and myself not to mention this card sure helped a bunches.
So today I received a beautiful hand made Christmas card from my son Daniel.  I wanted to share it with you.  He makes them by hand as he is incarcerated  http://tucsonprisonlife.com  
He makes them for the other inmates to send home and they pay him with stamps or food treats. 
This was lemonade via the U.S. Penitentiary via the U.S. Mail Service. 
Thanks Dan, I love you and I probably wasn't the easiest Mom or the best Mom either.  Forgiveness is free. We both learned that one.

Random Cat Photo's.......by Diane Ogden

I can't give this fellow credit for his or her photo, because I grabbed it off of my I Google opening screen under Random Cat Photos. 
My last couple blog posts have not depicted so much Happy News from this lady until I came across this little lady....surely this is a lady cat right?  Maybe not, too laid back for a female? Whichever....I could only wish either of my cats or little dog would allow me this privilege.  Forget the shirt, I would be beholden to hold either cat in this manner.  One is a rescue and the other from a farm.  The rescue is a  very sweet Ferrell, not sure how to spell that one, but sure learning how to give her a quick pick up and put down.  Even after four years!  She has claws that is why the quick pic up and put down.  She begs for attention, but do not pic me up thank you.  She also eats one jar of baby food, Ham being the only flavor she will eat, every morning. The other cat is my daughters and is a cunning sort of creature. Stares me down eyeball to eyeball.  Another don't pic me up or I will dig in to get down.  So I just spend money and feed them, clean out their litter boxes, pet them as I go past.  Sort of like a couple of the husbands I used to have hanging around. I have to upgrade in all areas.  Its easier to get rid of a husband than it is these cats..... The dog makes up for it though. She only bites if I try to check her teeth, clip the poo of her boodie, clip her nails, and put a coat on her. Oh or a leash.  Who rules around here anyway?  Me or the critters? My mentor of 33 years taught me "anything for peace."  I think I took it too far!
