  1. We all want to wish all of you the very same thing. Mom loves what you wrote! Outside forces (as well as our own) can so often get us down. We must not allow that. We must smile and laugh and others will join us. Support your family and friends. Listen to a cat purr.

    Mr. Bowie looks like he is staring wisely into the future!
    I notice that he is very good at sitting on something that a human might like to read.
    My cats love to do that too.
    They are actually soaking up the information from the pages.
