Few Words From Kiki

It's been a while since I've posted my thoughts on SOL so I thought it was time again!  I'm very excited and I wanted to share the good news.  My aunt is coming very soon to visit and I couldn't be happier!  I went to visit her in New Mexico for Thanksgiving and my mom let me stay through Christmas.  I just love spending time there and believe me I get spoiled like you wouldn't believe.  I feel so much love when I am there!  I added some pictures and I'm sure you will see why I love spending time with her

Sometimes I just sit on the couch and watch TV with them . . . they watch some very interesting programs!

This is my favorite spot!  My aunt made up a bed for me when she saw how much I love this spot  in her closet!  Talk about comfy . . . awesome!

I really love hanging out in my aunt's bedroom.  She had to cover the chair because my uncle is a tiny bit allergic sometimes.

I love looking out the window too!  I turned so she could take a picture of me!  She loves doing that!

I don't like water, but I thought to be respectful I should clean myself in the appropriate area.

Yup, that's me laying on my aunt's lap . . . so so content!

Surprise Email

As part of this writing community for 5 years now, it's amazing how connected you become with people you may never meet!  Reading their stories, as well as sharing parts of yourself creates this special kind of "bond".  So imagine my surprise when I received an email from Judy from "my reading blog," also the mom of Michelle from "literacy zone" telling me she was stopping through New Mexico for a day and would I like to finally meet!  I was really excited to finally meet Judy because I was so fortunate enough to work with Michelle for quite a few years before retiring.  It was Michelle after all, who brought her mom and I into this wonderful community of writers. We set the day to meet for dinner in Old Town Albuquerque.  Our dinner almost didn't happen however, because I transposed a number when giving Judy my cell number!  But all worked out and not only did I get to meet Judy, but also her charming husband as well!  It was a lovely evening, with lively conversation.  It was a little like having Michelle here . . . I do miss her ;-)  When I texted Michelle that we had set the day to meet, I told her we would send a selfie!  Such a treat meeting these two very special people!

Our "selfie" toasting Michelle!
