You bet I'm late! What a week (was it only a week?)

I also owe a big thank you to my Santa. Not only did I wait 'til the day, I waited for LAST!! And what a treat. I'll post photos as soon as possible.

The Chicago Manual of Style is right next to the OTHER Bible on the shelf, and has already been put to use. What a luxury to have in my life! I think you will inspire me to get to work.

This VERY thoughtful woman also sent me some beautiful tactile treasures of her neighborhood including a lovely piece of petrified wood, and some sand for my collection. Having this come from a mudcatter makes it all the more special! The card was especially gorgeous.

Thank you, Kat, and thanks to all the Santa's elves for making this happen. What fun! The Mudcat at its very nicest.
