It's only 19 below so we'll go out to play with neighbordog Maggie and give her her Holiday bone (rawhide). The two semi-humans here in hiding and one kitty, Nosey Diddie-Bits are sending you warm wishes for a wonderful holiday!

I was on a working trip but succeeded in hooking up with another loner friend (very special) for just a few minutes.
It was great to see her!
and later that day hooked up with another special friend for a delightful dinner, and had a chatty fun time.
this was all very unusual for me but so glad to see 2 other loner ladies on the same day.
no presents, no Christmas talk, just sincere conversation in comfortable settings.
the only meager presents I gave this year went to 2 physicians offices and to a low paid admin support staff I have known for decades

best wishes to all for a calm holiday season.
