I have a feeling we are “in for it” this year in Iowa.  The ice was bad…this is beautiful ..some years we don’t have snow until January – other years it has snowed in October.  It would be nice to have a white Christmas.  I was headed to Des Moines to finish up the Christmas shopping this morning and decided to stop on the way at the Animal Rescue League.  I finally wore “him” down and he said we could get a cat :)))

May I introduce Kitty….I’m taking suggestions on names…Kate says winky…I just can’t call a cat winky…no offense to anyone who agrees with Katy.  Kitty is about 3 – he’s actually pretty large but he’s a lover.  I took 4 different cats to the play room and #3 was pretty sweet and it was noted he got along with dogs but before I made a decision – I decided to try an orange cat and he won my heart.

When I got home, I was carrying him in his carrier into the house and I slipped on the ice covered snow as I prepared to step on the deck.  This would be the exact spot “he” told me to watch last night when I came home.  My feet slipped out from under me – I dropped kitty = fell backwards and hit my head.  Did have darkness for a split second and then felt wierd – think it really rang my clock.  I called my daughter the nurse and Jenny said that she thought I would be fine…she said Kate told me not to tell you but she did the same thing yesterday.  My excuse was that the ice was covered with snow when I fell.  What do you have to say about that, Winky??

Until next time…..
