   These two with their ridiculous shopping addictions ….. Irving always wanting the newest, latest, greatest electronic gadgets and Cathy with her love of shoes, clothes and, this time of year, everything to do with Christmas for her and everyone else on (and off) her list. Just makes me wonder: with all the money they spend, how are they not completely bankrupt and living in a homeless shelter by now?

   I do that for a couple of very special people on my list too. I’ve got an 85-year-old aunt that I send one to that really isn’t capable of sending one back and a cousin that I’m close to in age who’s always been like a big sister to me. She suffers from depression, anxiety and a host of other health issues that leaves her with little time and money to spend on something as trivial as Christmas cards when she’s got so many other needs to attend to that are a whole lot more important to think and worry about than that.

   After having sent so many Christmas cards over the last 30 years, I’ve definitely grown tired of doing it. But I continue on because I recognize the importance of needing to stay in touch with our family and friends — especially now that we’re living so far away from them.

   But the list has shrunk over time from what it used to be. There have been several deaths, of course, while other people have just flat-out quit sending them altogether. I’ve gotten to the point where, if I don’t hear from someone after a couple of years of sending one to them, then I’ll remove them from my list, as well. I hate to do it but don’t really feel like I’ve got much of a choice. While the cards themselves aren’t too terribly expensive — especially if you buy them somewhere like Dollar Tree where they’re $1.00 a box — the price of postage is quickly becoming an entirely different subject matter. It seems to go up just about every year and with stamps now $11.00 for a book of 20 (and I need at least two of them), it costs WAY more to mail them than the actual cards themselves are to buy so I really can’t afford to keep sending them to people year after year who simply aren’t interested enough in my husband and me to send one back to us.

   Awwwww ….. thanks so much for remembering our special day, Sis! Seems like it was only just yesterday that my husband and I both said our “I do’s” but here we are, 31 years later, still going just as strong as ever. Looks like the old adage is true: time sure flies when you’re having a good time! ♥

   Love and hugs to you and your precious family! :-)

   Pets are family and they’re absolutely, "paws"itively worth every single sacrifice that we have to make for them! ♥

   Our little 8-lb. dog positively loved running around and playing in the snow and didn’t mind at all going potty in it. But on the days when it got to be as deep (or deeper than) she was tall, we shoveled a nice big spot in the backyard for her to go in and a clear pathway across the deck, stairs and walkway in order for her to get to it safely and easily. If there was ever any ice, though, we’d carry her out to the “go” spot, then carry her back in so that she wouldn’t slip on it and hurt herself.

   It’s a lot of work being a loving, caring pet-parent, but she was absolutely, positively worth every sacrifice we ever made for her because she was a complete joy to have around for the 17 wonderful years we had her. ♥
