We had a very warm January in the south this year. Temps in the high sixties some days. Now, the second week in Feb. we are finally feeling like winter, with temps going down to 19 degrees tonight. Maybe the "Big One" is coming. I hear snow flew as far south as TN yesterday. But here, 400 miles south of anywhere, we have seen snow only twice in the last 6 years. The old timers watch the wooly caterpillars but in vain. Just checking in with my "Cat Who" friends. We had a very warm January in the south this year. Temps in the high sixties some days.

[Sometimes it depends on where you click the "reply" button (at the bottom or after a specific comment) but I don't see your comment there either.] Anne, and Joyce I have aready replied to your comment, but have not noticed it in the recent comments. given the way things have been around here with electrical storms etc, I wonder if you could let me know where the glitch could possibly be, Joyce? Anyway, lots of greetings to Anne and lots of get better. Please let us know how you are going. Kindest of Regards, Diana Diana, I got your message about your comments not appearing.

I noticed the two were slightly different and thought that either: a) you were talking about the tape in one and the book in the other or b) my memory is not what is used to be and I am experiencing a case of deja vu. In any case, I'm glad you are back to absorbing LJB. Life has been so demanding lately that we haven't heard much from the members. My fault: I haven't posted a review in a long time. I'll have to put that on my "to do" list. I'll look forward to that. I'll be able to read the book on my new Kindle Fire. Glad you said it was a double post.

I am only a third of the way in and already we have met Aubrey Scotten, a gentle giant who raises bees and has premature white hair, Ellen Fedder who we learn stole Iris Cobb's cookbook, the hotel has been bombed and we met Oonosh who is mysterious. We learn Qwill will participate in a Bachelor Auction for charity at the Great Food Explo. He buys a used cheese book from Eddington Smith and it stinks so bad he has to bury it............twice, when animals dig it up. This little book is a great read or listen it is so full of humor and adventure. I have listened to the first two tapes of the Book: The Cat Who Ate Cheese" and it is a great little book.

They are getting ready to have the auction to raise money for the great food explo. The old Pickax Hotel has blown up and Polly is recovering from her heart attack.. Qwill has just agreed to be a bachelor in the auction. We find out in this book that Elaine Feder stole Iris Cobb's cookbook and Qwill devises a plan to get it back. He buys a book from Eddignton Smith and has to bury it because it was so stinky. Qwill meets Aubrey Scotten who has premature white hair and is a gentle giant.

Hope he follows your example and takes as good care of you. Thanks for remembering us and coming back to let us know how it's going. Bless your heart, Anne.

We are busy at my house with recovering from accidents and illnesses. My husband had a hip replacement in Dec and even though he has had six weeks to heal, recovery is slow and painful. I have had another cancer pop up and am back in treatment. We are a "sorry" lot right now and being sick while caring for a sick husband is not in my top ten list of fun things to do! I have enjoyed reading posts and fan fiction. I wish everyone a happy new year and a good year. I can just imagine if Qwill has to have a knee replacement on that "bad kneee" of his what a bear he would be during recovery. I don't know who would be available to take care of him the way I do my bear of a husband, lol. Anne I have not had time to post here since the new year.

When the siamese smelled the lake they let out several yowwwwws and nowwwwwws. Qwill took a deep breath as well, enjoying the fresh country air. As he turned into the driveway, just past the large "K" nailed to a post, he saw ruts and fresh tire tracks. He drove over the crest and the cabin and lake came into view.

He yelled treat, and when yumyum bounded down he let her eat a bit and then put her in the wicker hamper that served as the cat carrier. Koko yeowwwed an ear splitting yeow and hopped in the carrier on his own, arranging himself beside yumyum who was in her "dead-cat" pose in the basket.

A black comb, a drivers license, money, a checkbook, toothpicks, and keys. Qwill learned this from Andrew Brodie, chief of police in Pickax City one night, when he stopped by for a night cap and some conversation. Yow said Koko and Now said Yumyum as their favorite policeman sat down and began to nibble on some Gouda cheese.
