Hello everyone! I'm back from Italy!
Here is a photo of my house before I left in September:
Here it is today:
It looks kind of bleak. But that’s just because it’s Massachusetts and IT”S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!
Here are ten things that are great about Massachusetts, in no particular order:
- The water. It has a great coppery taste that I have been craving for MONTHS.
- The air. It is really clean!
- The Christmas music. I tried to explain to Gene how you have to listen to all the old tacky Christmas hits that are on the radio between Thanksgiving and Christmasthis to Gene, but he just didn’t get it. The first American thing to happen to me when I got into the airport in Boston was hearing that George Michael Christmas song in the airplane restroom.
- My room. It has lots of colors and my bed has at least six blankets on it!
- My cats. Above is Squeaky. Here she is again:

| She also answers to "Tiny Hiney". |
Here is Winnie:

| "Fuzzywump" |
And here is Zackie:

| "Pokeypants" |
- My Christmas tree. I put it up Wednesday and I decorated it yesterday. It is fake.
 |
| The magic of Christmas |
It has lots of wonderful Christmas tree ornaments (the fragile ones are at the top).
- My Christmas stocking. Santa goes in the little chimney. Thanks, Gram!
- McIntosh apples. They are truly the best tasting fruit EVER. I did not see a single one in Italy, but I have eaten at least eight since I’ve been home.
- My nativity. It has a CAMEL. And look at the cats and the emu/ostrich/flamingo!
- My warm fluffy coat and boots. They are just right for this freezing cold weather.
Here is my mother with the Lindt chocolate ball I brought home for here birthday:
My cats are very happy. Here are Pookypaws, His Highness, and Princessface eating their din-din:
