and nervous, but objects of delight are a comfort
to my soul. This year I received objects of
delight as gifts for Christmas.
My fun and feisty MIL, who does not like Christmas
(or any other) shopping, none-the-less pulled this
rabbit out of the hat this year. She bought it
in Williamsburg. Isn't a beauty?
My own Mumsie, knowing that Kent and I are trying
to replace some of the Java we drink with herbal
and green teas, gave us this cheerful teakettle. It
has a great whistle. The first morning I used it
the whole household was awakened by it. There is
just more ambience about heating your water in a
teakettle vs. heating it in the micro.
G'ma Opal gave us a quilt. I can't take a picture of
it because it is the wee hours of the morning and people
are still snuggled under it (DH and Princess Daughter
because she woke up with a bad dream). I'll post the
picture later.
G'ma said to me as I was looking at the quilt, "Now
I've given quilts to 5 out of my 6 grand-daughters."
I whispered to Mom, "Do you think she's trying to
communicate something by giving away all her quilts?"
Mom replied, "No, she's just afraid of the mice ruining
her quilts."

You received some lovely gifts! I still use a kettle to make tea too (instead of the microwave). We loved Colonial Williamsburg... your new new pot is a delight. I look forward to seeing a photo of your new quilt too. :~)
Despite the fact that we live in the big city, our orange kitty has figured out how to hunt mice. Does G. Opal own a cat?
e-mom, No. Over the years she's owned dozens, but now she hasn't a one. I think she gets too much fun out of setting the mousetraps to get another kitty.
Is your orange kitty a tiger? I love tiger cats.
