I am still working at not losing blogs to the Internet ether and I think this one might really be an add-on.It is now 'Christmastime, my favorite time of year and even though the season is about to wind down, my heart is still glad for our many blessings and, AND the snowfall that left us with a healthy blanket of snow for Christmas Morning. That was a first Christmas snow in the last 80+ years, or so we were told.
"Bradley" (see previous entry) and "Mary-Mary," two of our three dogs ran in circles around our yard in the snow for 15 minutes. Markey, our "coyote-looking" dog is still angry about the arrival of Brad so he just sulked.
I managed to spend the first week of December in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania with my little girl, Wendy, her husband Kurt and of course Jakob and Paige her two precious children. Can a Father have any more fun than playing with those kids and teasing with my daughter and my Son-in-Law?
My eldest son, Mike and his wife Amy decided to spend Christmas in Japan. My duties are to take care of and feed the 'critters they leave behind: Three kittens 'meowing, One German Shepherd barking, one Gecko hissing and one "Christmas Pink Toed South American Tarantula" that sits and waits for dinner in the evening...
When I reached into the aquarium and picked up a lively little cricket tonight I swear I heard him say from the palm of my hand, (in a tiny little high shrilled voice) "Merry Christmas Mr. Fennig Sir, This is so nice of you to pick me from all of my friends to wish me a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...and just where are we going this fine wintry evening?"
I cleared my throat and said, "Uh... I...uh...Say Jiminy, let me hold your coat and hat...and you won't be needing the little cane this evening...oh, and a Merry Christmas to you too..."
