I wish you -- and all of my fellow commenters, a year filled with delight, contentment and peace. This retrospective? Well, it oculd be a whole new set of cards, you know. Like my colleagues here, I teared up looking at our precious Jerry Lee - and then whispered &quot;Thank you&quot;....his few weeks were the best a kitty could have. He had a long and happy life, it just went by very quick. Enjoy your vacation, and yes--we&#39;ll content ourselves with looking at archival pictures.<BR/><BR/>With love: dale-harriet, Evangline and Lillianedale-harriethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03802162735113365804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-24130587545313432112009-01-03T08:18:00.000-08:002009-01-03T08:18:00.000-08:00Laurie - Thank you so much for this New Year&#39;s gift of such beautiful memories. This blog has given me many smiles (and a few tears with sweet Jerry Lee &amp; Bernadette). As with so many others, I check at least once a day to see what treasure you have posted. Enjoy your time away (and best wishes for an easy jury duty). Know we will all be here when you get back, looking forward to another year of very special kittens - and people.Webbthistlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-2736640917436554372009-01-03T07:50:00.000-08:002009-01-03T07:50:00.000-08:00Thank you so much for this retrospective of all these wonderful little ones.
