   Monday, Mondays are the second day of every week right?  Well guess what today was very special at least to me.  You see today was a normal  day like most other days when oh, about 2:P.M. I thought it was time to take the trash out. Upon opening the back door I began to take my first steps Right foot then left. All of the sudden I looked to my left and just about 6 feet away sat the prettest grey kitten I think I ever seen.
     I say, say think because a time about, less than 10 yrs. ago we had a grey kitten that looks so much like this kitten it is Hard to believe.  They could pass as twins. I thought I think our kitten has reincarnated. I gave it food, he gave it food all the while Belle was showing her jealous streak. She never once attempted to hurt this kitten. Belle is a kind animal.
     I hope it stays its so pretty and un-like the orange one, this grey one allowed me to bend over and touch it. It looks like its about 1 yr..  If it stays what shall I name it? I know, if its here tomorrow I'll get pictures first chance I can, post them and may be you'll help me name it. It was so bony today I fed it canned alpo and he gave it the cat food that's hard, out of a bag.
     Are you ready for Christmas?
I'll say good night for now.
Sincerely, Linda G..

"Hello"
oh what a very nice day it has been. Today I got a ride and went into town, loaded up with food
I don't like to thought of getting low on anything and there be a storm on its way.  I buy stuff just so I feel assured that I will not run out. I have 10 cans of anything in there and still buy another one. It must be a phobia? what does it sound like to you?
     When I got back from town today my tv had recorded survivorman and moonshiners, Primal Survivor, I really like these shows plus duel survivor, Life below zero, I really enjoy all those types of shows. What shows do you enjoy?? I can hear them now that I have a working hearing aid.
     Yesterday I stood outside along my properity line and I thought what it would really be like just to take off with a pair of hiking boots, or mountain boots? I need to talk to someone that knows boots/shoes. What would it be like just to go? not to let anything or anyone stop me just go?
     Could you do that? Right now it's raining, where do you think you would be sleeping tonight?
It's 11:25P.M. right now, dark was hours ago. Would you have prepared? Food?, water, extra clothes? Here's a big one a pot or pan to cook in.
     What about your age? Does it matter to you how old you are out there? at what age is too old to be thinking about things like that?
     I think I'll go lay down and think about this. Who knows one day I may just keep right on going.
Do you think you could do such a thing? Tell me your thoughts.
Sincerely, Linda G..

     Weather channel has been calling for rain what seems like forever. They claim it will hang around for 3 days.  Rainy days are ok with me as long as I don't need to go out in that mess.
I laid in bed until 11:A.M. today. Normally I'm up much earlier, don't know why I have been wanting to sleep so long, for days now. Really I do now or at least I think I know but I'm not ready to share it. Maybe my new hearing aids will come in today or get here soon. This one is ok, the battery does go dead sooner than I'd expect it to. But at least it works and I can hear.
     Bell just came in. I mopped a bathroom floor. Need to go write Myrt. and Bill a letter. They are wonderful people live up in Minnesota, I'm proud to call them my aunt and uncle, my dads side. My Dad has a lot of Good family up north. North is nice especially in summer, I prefer south, the north was very good to me when I was up there a couple months ago, CTCA (Cancer Treatment Centers of America).
     So far I've had a bowl of rice cereal and a glass of whey to eat. I feel good! I do need to go into town to buy myself food.
     I have one of those colorama colored pencils with a book set. I did happen to pick it up last evening for a short period of time it was fun. Perhaps I'll do it again sometime.
     Right now I'm sewing, working on a quilt and a messenger bag, I'm making it from scratch and decorating it along the way. It'll be really nice. Maybe Lisa would like to make herself one or have this one.
I'm going for now.
It would be nice to hear from you (No pun intended).
