Hello?

Hello, all! (That is, if anyone ever checks this blog anymore.)

It being shortly after Thanksgiving, I have consumed a great deal of pie lately.   :)
Also, Mama Honrath just made another pie today! Hurrah!

Just a few updates:

Ann's beloved sister Rachel is married! She and her husband Joe tied the knot in June.   :)
It was a fabulous wedding.
The other siblings are all well and happy, too!
Ann, Madge, Orchid, Margaret, Freya, Cricket, the others, and I will all be taking the ACT a week from this Saturday!   O_O   Wish us luck!
We have so many cats. So, so many.
But we have lost some sheep.   :(
Many chickens and few eggs combine to make Mama Honrath less than happy.
Our dearly Beloved Ginger Hoss moved to my eldest brother's place this past Summer.   :(
It is cold.
I do not like cold.
Buddy dog is getting old and arthritic. Poor puppy.
The assorted birds living in the haymow make pleasant music.
On the subject of music, Jazz is a delight to the soul. Old Jazz, the good kind.
The Merry Macs were great singers.
Ben Johnson was a wonderful actor and a good man.
So was Telly Savalas.
And let us not forget my beloved James Cagney.
Joan Blondell was a talented actress, and played a very sassy girl called Nan in Footlight Parade.
You, my reader, should watch Footlight Parade.
Blue jays are lovely.
That's all for now.

Eat lots of Pie, stay warm, and don't give half-heart-ed hugs!
Love,
