If rock is wet...

My feet...

...and the rest of me between the Dutch door
and the entertainment center.

OK, so this is my new favorite place to nap (see photos above).

BTW, have you noticed that I am the ONLY cat not wearing a collar? I won the right to run around naked while we were still living in Fort Wayne only I forgot to tell you about it. After working my collar off day after day for a few weeks, Mommy finally gave in and said I could just go around buck nekked if that was what I wanted. And so I have.

Mommy Bonnie has one more week of work and then she will be home with us. We will like that. She found out this week that she is no longer borderline diabetic and she will be seeing a doctor on Thursday to see how she is going to need to handle her diabetes. Today she and Mommy went to the store and bought lots of low sugar things for Mommy Bonnie to eat. She is going to exercise and try to lose some weight too. We will know more after Mommy Bonnie sees the doctor and has some more tests run. Mommy brought home some books on diabetes for Mommy Bonnie to read, and Mommy Bonnie picked up a magazine today for Diabetics.

Mommy and her brothers and their wives tried to surprise Grandma with a dinner in Wabash on Wednesday, but Grandma is just too smart and had it figured out. Mommy Bonnie wasn't feeling well and had to miss the dinner. But a good time was had by all who attended. Mommy paid for it. It was her Christmas present to her brothers and their wives and she is going to do it every year for Grandma's birthday.

Mommy ordered her Davis home weather station on Thursday and it will be here on Monday. She is putting it in the middle of the vineyard so she can keep track of the micro climate in our vineyard. Our neighbor, Denny, is going to help Mommy put it up because he likes that kind of boring stuff too. Mommy got a couple of books about weather to read and one was Weather for Dummies. Miss Marra told her that weather was easy: if rock is wet, it is raining; if rock is white, it is snowing. Isn't that silly?

And speaking of silly...Book review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. Mommy couldn't understand why Miss Marra hadn't suggested that she read this book since it, and the others in the series, are so popular. So Mommy picked it up and read it and thought it was really, really cute. Get ahold of a copy of this book and share it with your grandchildren who are old enough to appreciate it. It is about a young boy in middle school and his adventures with his best friend. He has an older and younger brother. Mommy just liked the way this kid's mind worked. Maybe it reminded her a little of herself. Anyway, his Halloween and Christmas adventures, running for a class office, the unit of wrestling in gym class, being on the school safety patrol...all make for a fun read. And then there is "the cheese." Read this best seller even if you don't have grandkids!

Mommy was saddened to receive word this morning that her Uncle Bob had passed away. She said he was a wonderful, wonderful man who was a role model for the many Boy Scouts who had the good fortune to be in his troop. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
