Okay, Bob, but there are nice-looking witches with warmer nipples than gnu's! Some of us are here, even!**bg**

It's been a good morning here. Cold for the Banana Belt of Colorado...about 30F, but weather dot com says it feels like 25F and it got down to 13F last night which is cold for here. Another month we should be seeing signs of Spring.

I had my usual breakfast made by Rog...smoothie with almond milk, blueberries, dried figs, and protein powder plus Ezekiel bread toast.

Worked on the final copy edit of Prairie Child my next book. I am getting excited about it almost being ready for printing/publication.

Spoke with my grandson, Morgan, who told me he loves me.:-)

Got an okay finger stick at the coumadin clinic.

Brought home a fav. takeaway lunch and enjoyed eating it while reading Mudcat.

Had an email from a taiko drum maker whom I've never met, telling me he will sell me a practice drum, originally made for his church, at a GREAT discount, for small payments for a few months, to help me further Morgan's music learning and for me to play, too. I gave my drum away a few years ago and it was right and meant to be at the time, but I have missed having a drum (not the one I gave away, though, it was supposed to go.) This was a great thing to get in my email!!

The coumadin clinic nurse oohed and ahed over my MMario-Mudcat-Hug shawl this morning. I love wearing it and the one Jacqui sent me, too, and telling people where they came from. They are astounded when I mention I've never actually met, face to face, most of the folks who were behind the hugs.:-) Thanks, Mudcatters!
