It's a good thing.....


** to celebrate your birthday all week long. Tonight my parents took us (as in the whole family) out for steaks for my and Hubby's birthday (even though Hubby's birthday was in October, they hadn't taken us out for his birthday yet and that's what our family does, go out to dinner for birthdays)


** to have a good friend who sends you two birthday cards for your birthday.

** to have three kitties who sleep in the garage and are soft and furry and purr, instead of one dog who attacks you every time you go outside.

This is Tabby, our squatter kitty. She just showed up one day and started eating our cats' food. We kept shooing her away until one day we gave up and decided to keep her. She's a very nice kitty.

This is Socks. She's very persnickety.  She was rescued as a kitten from the wood pile in back of the Fastrip in a neighboring town. She's a very nice kitty and can catch a June bug in mid air.

This is Nikki. She's our old grandma kitty. She's rather grouchy, but we love her.

**  to have five wonderful children

**  to have a couple of great books to read!
