We are having compay once again.   

In November my older sister did give me some money but that is all. One of Bill's sisters did buy beer once.

pye if I come to new york can I sleep on your sofa bed? Can I come and stay a night or two with you? I would love to be your first sleep over company.

LOL---of course you could...I would have to buy sheets and stuff for the sofa bed..it's never even been used...this was a replacement sofa bed gotten about three years ago...my mother slept on it but just on the sofa, she never undid it to make it the bed part....oh, and would have to get rid of all the cat hair..LOL..my cats have claimed the sofa bed as theirs..LOL

I can live with cat hair and I will bring the sheets. I have lots of extra sheets what size it it. Queen, full or king? heehee

LOL--this is embarrassing, I don't even know the size of the sheets I would need since the bed part's never been used...maybe King???

Oh well when I come I will measure it and then go and buy some new sheets. heehee. I can understand that. The bed part is almost as wide as the couch so if you have a love seat the bed is a double, if it is 5 foot it is a queen I think and longer it is a king.
Do not worry I will give you lots of time to figure it out. i cannot come until I get some money in and that ain't happen for a long time.

That is who I have felt because I have had one set of company leave in the morning and the next set come that afternoon. You talk about hurricane clean between company. I have been so tired doing all of the cleaning. My hubby does not help me with the company. He is good at sitting in his chair watching me.

seems we have similar natured hubbys.good that you dont scream like me,get your butt off from that chair.(not that it makes much of difference)

He use to be better at helping me before his stroke now I just do not think she see's what needs to be done. I have turned into him mom.

I am looking forward to having the grand baby any time. Hopefully I will have more than one grand child. My daughter has been trying to get pregnant for five years. Hopefully she will get pregnant soon. I would love the cousins to be close.

You are so right no steak. I do make spaghetti, beans, and stuff like that. In November I made a turkey when everyone came yum

How many cats do you have now?

25

Wow I cannot handle the two I have at times. Ambagil meows all the time she drives me crazy at times.

I have a few that drive us crazy, a couple of them are looking for homes...

We have a Last Hope Cat Kingdom here in our area which is a cat rescue. They put cats up for adoption in Pets Mart. I adopted Abagail from them. It use to be 35 dollars to adopt a cat now it is $75. Wow I cannot adopt a cat for that much money when I can get a kitten for free from other places.

It was $125 to adopt from the organization I worked with in 07.

Wow that is a lot of money to adopt a cat. Why so high?

The group pays for the spay/neuter and all the baby shots up to day, test for FIV/FLuk, and place a microchip.

I can understand then what you pay for.

I do not plan on having guests next month but I will be out of town when I go and stay with my son and his girlfriend when they have the baby.

You know I do love them all I am looking forward to a break thou. I will be gone in February when the baby comes so I will not be home for company. We bought this house four years ago and before this we did not have room for company. Now we do and they do stay.

Thanks I will have fun and everything will be great. My daughter is such a good cook and she is bringing all the food for the shower. It is my house my mess so I will be doing the cleaning up.

Thank you

I do love company but it is getting old. I think that I would like a few months off. When summer comes I will have more company because we have a swimming pool and have swimming parties on the patio. I do love that time of year.

You are really luck! You having good company and will have more in summer. Wow you have a swimming pool also and you arrange swimming party there! Actually we can't think about a swimming party in our country. Swimming is a sport for high class people here. We at our yonger age swimmed at our pond. Till I never swimmed at swimming pool.

I grew up on a river near Yosemite National Park in California USA and learned to swim from Easter to Thanksgiving which is March/April till the end of November. You see in that area is gets cold and sometimes we had to brake the ice off the rocks in the rive to get in. Now I get to cold and cannot get in the cold water.
Now I have a swimming pool and a lot of my neighbors also have pools it is a thing to have. I tell you it does cost a lot to keep it up. I wish I would keep it heated so I could swim longer in the years or every day. The thing with swimming in a pool is the chemicals where as swimming in a pond there is not chlorine or chemicals. But the swimming pool is clear and you can see the bottom and there is no fish.

I see to have a swimming pool to you and your country is not a matter but I think it is costly to keep well condition to use. In my country a swimming pool is simbol of luxury and you must be rich person to have one or use it. Yes, I am happy with our ponds they are really better than those swimming pool. As your words your's one very very nice I think.

I will tell you I sure do appreciate it. It is costly to have and keep up. I wish I can afford to get it heated so I can use it all year long. but alas we could not afford that.
