Christmas is a coming...

We’re almost ready. Just a few more things to do; vacuum and dust. Bake a pie. Maybe pick up and hide some of the books and magazines till after the crowd is gone.

Speaking of magazines; we’re going to cut back on the number of subscriptions we carry. They really can become a burden; with not enough time to read them all. And the guilt! I can hardly bear to throw them away…

And what was all about? The phone just rang…once. I don’t like a phone ringing at any hour, but a ring at this early hour is especially disconcerting. Who was it? Was it a wrong number or was it someone we know who decided, at the last second, to halt the call?

Telephonophobia is a fear of phones…I don’t have that. I simply dislike them. Of course I Googled the subject and found a site that would, for a nominal fee, cure me! “Our premium 'VIP' One-on-One service, Working one-on-one with one of our team, with guaranteed lifetime elimination of Fear Of Phones. From $1,497 and up. Call…” By only disliking telephones and not fearing them, look at the money I have saved!

We have had some amusement the past few days as we have watched the cat bonding with a pottery pig. The pig sits on the hearth and perhaps Boo associates the pig with the welcome heat from the fire. She curls up close to the pig, resting her head against it and sometimes placing a paw on it’s neck…weird. But funny!
