Terry:
I find everything you write really interesting, especially the stuff about rabbits, snakes, guns etc.
I'm amazed at Vee - wait till I tell my husband, he will be impressed.  He has an Aunt Velma who
in her 70's killed two armadilla's with one shot, they were fighting in her yard in the middle of the
night and keeping her awake. She couldn't eat them though.
 
It has been cold and tonight there was a story on the news here about a cat frozen to the sidewalk
in PA. He was one with nine lives because he was saved and taken home by a Good Samaritan.
It's time for me to thank all who have been praying for Jenna; she has been doing so well and
especially through this most difficult phase of her treatment. She gets tired more quickly than
her brother and sisters but she looks really well and still has her sweet disposition. She goes into
what they call maintenance after Christmas with less potent drugs further apart - her hair should
grow back then although being bald doesn't seem to bother her.  Our TX family are not coming
for Christmas this year because Jenna needs to stay close to her Medical Team.  We are having
our two daughters who live in town and our son and his family here  - the 2yr old grandson is
funny he is learning to talk and calls Santa Claus something that sounds like Crab Claws, our
son says that's the Cajun way to say it :)   judyt.

P.S. I was surprised to see that Vee shoots a gun - she looks too sweet - but must have a lot of what it takes :)
 ===========================================
Vee killed a deer last night just before dark, then stood in the cold holding a flashlight while I skinned and quartered it.  Quite a gal!  Never went hunting until she turned sixty-two.  She is now sixty-five and has harvested five deer.

A friend that I used to fish with in the keys sent us a box of lobster and stone crab, and a fishing buddy from Appalachicola brought me a bag of fresh oysters.  Unclean food to some, but we are rejoicing.

Went to our daughters house for pizza this evening.  Read the Christmas story from Luke ( a tradition with us) and exchanged gifts with our daughter and her kids, our grand kids.  Couldn't stay long because I have rabbits ready to give birth and have to bring in the babies when they come.  Lost a litter of seven last night.  They froze before I got to them.  Bunnies are born hairless and the mothers take no pains to keep them warm except for lining the nest with fur.  Tonight one doe had had only three.  Two of them were still alive, so I brought them in for the night.  Will have to do that for the next five nights unless it warms up some.  Once they grow some hair they are pretty hardy.

Got carried away there .You weren't asking about rabbits and I told you more than you wanted to know.

Have a good Christmas.  We are still praying for Jenna.
Terry
