       Darn this is like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.  This package is racking up the milage.

It gets to the States clears customs yippie ki-yay.  Then it is Cincinnati, my city, OH BOY!

No don't send it to the other part of the state, yep there it went. Cincinnati ~ Eaton ~ Cincinnati ~ Eaton ~ Cincinnati ~ Eaton ~ DETROIT (what the HBO Word) ~ Indianapolis.

I don't live in Indianapolis!

Hey if you can tell me where it is going next first I will send you something by way of the USPS.

Yep maybe it might reach you sometime In the year 2525, if man is still alive.

 

 

I tried to put an intercept on the tracking number but you can only do that for domestic not international mail because of all the terror threats in the world now.

The plaque in Maderia says

"Civic work is the rent we pay

for the space we occupy

in the community

in which we live"

 

Montgomery Town Square Christmas Tree

 

Yep I was going into town last week to show you Fountain Square, the heart of Cincinnati, all decorated with the giant tree and the ice skating rink a Nati City tradition and darn as we were driving Lee had the radio on and the station announced that the Federal Building was being evacuated and all traffic around would be stopped.  Well the Square is just in the next block, so we turned around and came home.

Am I having fun yet?

 

 Lee's Christmas card count 12

My count ~ GULP!

 

Please Mr. Postman look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a LETTER in your bag for me
(Please, please, Mr. Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time

I've been standin' here
Waitin' Mr. Postman so patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Sayin' it's for me

 

Lee ~ yes William ~ I was on hold with the post office for an hour and forty seven minutes and GUESS WHAT ~ what William ~ I GOT DISCONNECTED!

What the crap!

Lee can I take the Christmas tree down now?

Oh William remember Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive.

 

Thanks for being a friend
Traveling down the road and back again
Your heart is true and your a friend of  mine

Signing Off 
Sweet William The Scot

 

Oh that does not apply to the USPS

Lee has been painting a lot of shop windows since Thanksgiving, her hands are all cracked and bloody.  While Lee paints I sleep on my bed because I know I am not allowed off my bed when we are at the shops. If you are going through Nati town and see a shop window painted we sign with a paw print so you will know it is ours.
