~Good Being a Gran~~

The boy came by last night and picked up the stuff for

the kids for Christmas. He thinks they will all like their

things..I wrapped it all and sorted and he took everything-

but only gave the doll basket to Kirsten, he had no choice

as it wasn't wrapped and only in a clear plastic bag so

she saw it instantly. My phone rang and this sweet voice

said, "Gran, thank you for my doll and bed, I'm gonna go

play, talk to papaw" Donnie said as soon as he handed

her them, she immediately asked to phone me to say

thank you.. He is amazed himself at how smart she is..

What a sweetie, even if she is spoiled rotten..We don't

care.. that's part of the fun of being a grandparent is

getting to spoil the grandkids..
The baby squirrel has been here a lot lately. He is so

funny to watch as he runs really fast up to the tree then

jumps at it and climbs as fast as he can up to the branches.

He found the peanuts and is stuffing himself full.. then he

runs.. comes back and does the same thing.. Graybelle

is a stalker.. Shes seen the baby out there and Ive had

to call her so she would not make a run at him..twice now

shes wanted to get him.. I think I would pass out if I saw

a cat with a squirrel or bird in its mouth.. That would be

awful.. this baby maybe doesn't know about cats :-)
Usually none of the kitties bother the birds.. and the jays,

well no cat can fight off a blue jay anyway.. Jays have

been known to attack people!
My house in Indiana I had a huge oak tree out back..Way

up top was a blue jay nest.. We knew when there were

baby birds in it cuz no one was allowed by the tree or

the jay would dive bomb them.. I had one hit me in the

top of my head and drew blood! The claws on a bird

are sharp! That bird was constantly on guard.. Its fun

to watch them here, Ive counted as many as 5 or 6 here

at one time.. They love the corn on the cob, doesn't take

them but a day or so to clean off one of those corn ears.

We are having egg salad sandwiches for lunch. I only

have some Christmas cards yet to send out and I'm done

with my todo list...Time to post this and have a sandwich

and write cards.. But.. this GORGEOUS WEEBLE will

be back tomorrow! :-)

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you 'friend'.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
