You have a very nice looking family. I know you certainly enjoyed your traveling visits. The floods are terrible; we see them on our TVs. I am glad you and your home are safe.<br /><br />Good deal too, on the grandkids and the greats. I haven't posted on them yet but this Christmas is new to me with the greats. I have two, one was six weeks old on our first visit in December. The other lives in Nevada and is now eleven. She came for a month, first time this year, to visit her father (Tim) and her grandmother (our duaghter Susie).<br /><br />Your jokes are delicioius. I showed Mrs. Jim the Mime Joke and she loved it. We both laughed. And they all were what some people call 'decent' too. <br />I know of children who read mine quite regularly and others, family or in our Sunday school classes, who might not (could even lose a friend or two) if I strayed very far. A little suggestive is pretty well my limit [most times :)].<br /> <br />Cheers,<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-15290350741681892152011-01-08T16:00:29.998+11:002011-01-08T16:00:29.998+11:00Thanks for the smiles and the photos, Merle!

I wish you a very good New Year and all the best ! What a nice big family you have ! I became grandma for the first time in November. A little boy called Toby. Here you can see him and us http://gattinawritercramps.blogspot.com/2010/12/what-did-you-do-this-weekend_27.html<br /><br />BTW do you know what happened to Robin from Puss in Boots (Kat's craddle) ? Since September I haven't heard anything from her and she doesn't answer on emails either. Hope there is nothing wrong.Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-56611470590171982422011-01-06T03:43:31.106+11:002011-01-06T03:43:31.106+11:00Merle, no wonder you have a royal bearing, Your Ma...Merle, no wonder you have a royal bearing, Your Majesty. You are the Queen Mother of your own family! I can see that clearly in those photos. And very lovely photos they are too. I'm glad you had a great Holiday Season.<br /><br />I had a quiet one. My family aren't that bothered by Xmas so there's little to no point my trekking over at the most stressful expensive time of year to do nothing we wouldn't do in mid-January! I stayed in for New Year's too, because I used to go out to huge rave type events and am avoiding that type of stuff for the sake of my fractured mental health. I'm seeing a psychiatrist now (very infrequently). He's giving no meds he says I need to clear my system OUT before they can establish with any certainty what's what. So I'm trying to follow directions but it's not easy when he says NO DRINKING. <br />He did say just for a couple of months and then I can start again (hurrah!)... so I made it my New Year's Resolution to cut alcohol down and then out. (Been told it's inadvisable to stop anything ultra-suddenly considering some of the weird reactions that happened before)... So life's a bt confusing and dull this end what with cutting out this and cutting down on that and not doing the other. I never was into New Year's Resolutions until I gave up something that if you said it you'd mean there was a fissure in your wall. To me it's something I used to put on a pipe. (Begins with C, rhymes with "rack".) I stopped that 2 years ago and bar the odd little "lapse" never went back.<br />Once I throw all this rubbish out of my life I never want it back either.<br />Talking of rubbish I've been clearing out my house. Wow, it looks amazingly clear now. Quite uncanny...!<br /><br />Sorry to burble on and on about me (what's new). Really I came by to wish you <strong>VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR INDEED</strong>!<br /><br /><em>and may 2011 be way better than sodden old 2010!!</em>Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-46167809587694239162011-01-06T01:38:49.388+11:002011-01-06T01:38:49.388+11:00Thanks for sharing the photos of your family.

As for the poetry, very funny.<br /><br />Glad to know you are feeling better. Sorry to learn of the flooding. It seems both of our countries are having weather problems. We have been fortunate so far. It has passed us by. Although the tornadoes that passed through a few days back did come within several hundred miles of us.<br /><br />Take care.Jack K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-27345300130426568232011-01-06T00:56:22.117+11:002011-01-06T00:56:22.117+11:00Less pictures??
