I'm always interested to see what people write - even the bad ones!Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-23905190916718119492010-12-17T06:20:55.399-07:002010-12-17T06:20:55.399-07:00queen_cupcake, hello!

Luckily I have not travelled this year or insulated my home, although my heating did pack up and I dreamed of the travelling I used to do until my lovely (I hope talented in due course) children came along!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894218954285865917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-26132566301930827942010-12-16T06:57:26.477-07:002010-12-16T06:57:26.477-07:00Hilarious!

The husband has <i>made up a fictional fourth child</i> whose antics fill an additional 3 or 4 paragraphs. I shudder when I see the envelope in my mail. I was considering a Christmas letter of my own this year: 4 cats, no kids, kitchen <i>finally</i> done--end of story.
