Molly on Monday
Molly here,
Something has happened. First I have to tell you that Baby is not going to live with us. - For some reason the person who was her Foster mom did not like us and said that she would not like us.. So we were disappointed. BG was sad. He had already gotten her a new collar and name tag. So B G says we will have to drive to Nebraska to see who they have.
Jon is here. It is good to have him here. He gives good ear rubs.
Cassie is also glad to see him. Liz is coming after Christmas. I hope I get to see her also.
BG has been cooking. Here is the pot roast he cooked for Christmas
Then we have Snow again.
BG is not pleased because Andrew left and went to Seattle with his Brother who is moving there. So the walks have not been shoveled. (Note. Andrew was still here and he shoveled..BG Bad)
But I like having it to eat. Snow is tasty.
This is Cousin Lily and Ned. Ned is little.
Cassie came over to see Ned and Lily. She is smaller than Ned.
Then we had Christmas. There was a stocking full of toys for us hanging under the chair. I don't know how it got there. BG said he didn't do it. I guess there really is a Santa.
BG made a movie of me opening my toys.
Here they are all for me.
Then I went out to see the snow and see if the Bunnies were any where around. BG saw three of them in the backyard. They are pretty big.
After my saunter around the yard I had to take a nap. I am always ready for one of those.

Sunday
“The utterance of God is a lamp, whose light is these words: Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship. ... So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.”
"Invisible threads are the strongest ties."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
"Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart bigger."
- Ben Okri: a Nigerian poet and novelist
“Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity.”

Freedom is the kite's response to the wind.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?

Neighborhood snow scenes Thursday morning, December 24, 2015 Photos by Bob Kelly
Here are some results of the snow that we were not suppose to have, but showed up anyway, to the delight of kids, photographers and folks who did not have to travel! As I walked down my street here are seven scenes that caught my eye.
