Hi Cathy. What do you mean with Joe ????
Can you please explain it for me ?:)
My younger 61 year old brother is developmentally disabled plus profoundly deaf. He developed his art though because of that. He's hilariously funny. He paints cartoon paintings and it may take me awhile to see the joke...and then I'll see it and laugh out loud. Roll on the floor laughing cause it took me so long to see it. I just try to help him out a bit here and there...

I only thought this old Everly Brothers song fits to you because of the name Cathy. I really don`t think that you are someones clown. Please don`t misunderstand me. Maybe you can post little cartoons that your brother made ?

I know. I remember the song. I actually liked it. You'll be seeing some of his paintings soon. I asked him if he would do paintings for me for the card exchange and he said yes. I'm not letting him worm his way out of it. And the song's name is Cathy's Clown. Please don't feel like you'll hurt my feelings. I would much rather hear your jokes to me.

Your post to me so perfectly fits. I'm really happy you thought of me.

Well, I'm in for the day. Thursday I bought a very small portion ham and I think I'll cook that for lunch. Not quite time yet for lunch, but I can get it and the potatoes started.

When I made the first fire of the winter in the wood stove I put down a couple rags for Misty to lay by the fire.

I miss wood burners. Nothing better than coming in from the cold sitting next to it. Also used to love cooking a big pot of chili on it in the winter.

Cold dark & raining here, just kind of Wintry looking. Leaves mostly down now, our back garden looking bare except for bright red spots where our Burning Bushes are located. They look great.

Two newly made Christmas tree baubles for our tree. The painted one needs a final coat of lacquer & the plain wooden one received it’s first coating a few minutes ago. Ive just trued up another blank for tree No. 3

Nice job! Maybe I should get a lathe to give me something to do.

Good evening everyone. My state of mind is getting better. Went to my brother's for Thanksgiving and his wife is going thru radiation treatments for cancer. Kind of put me back into perspective of how lucky I am to be here. Her outlook looks good so that's a blessing. 65° and very windy here today. Opo never moved from the back corner of his box. I think I am going to and some more fence for the enclosure. So I can get more sun in the enclosure. There is only a 3' wide strip from 11 am till 3 pm that shines inside the enclosure. I doesn't shine on his box anymore so he hasn't figured out he needs to walk outside to get sun. My wife sets him out there and he loves basking. Sooner or later I think he will figure it out.

I'm still here so I did survive it...surprisingly I had fun. I got the 2 things I wanted for cheap cheap. All the people in line with me were fun to be with and helpful to each other. The couple in front of me held my wall hanging in their cart so I didn't have to carry it. I wanted it for our Christmas card exchange. But I'll use it all year for years to come. I can display new photos, cards, and such stuff. There was only one that had enough spaces for what I wanted and I'm the one that found it. I was blessed.
I am so glad for you. I love it when a plan comes together.:D

Oh I am sure that he will figure it eventually.
