Since it’s my birthday month, I get to use Xena’s blog anytime I want to. And I want to tell all y’all about our friend Gracie coming to stay with us last month. I’ve heard that Gracie’s been coming over here since before Angel Lexi passed. They were kinda like friends. At least Lexi didn’t object to her being here. Gracie stayed with Mom and Dad the Christmas after Lexi became an angel. She even went to Fort Wayne with them and sat on Santa’s lap. Gracie’s a little girl with a big personality.
Do you see Xena’s sweater on Gracie? Xena didn’t mind her wearing it at all. Gracie tries to get along with everyone and within a day of being here she just becomes one of our pack. Mom didn’t want to let her go home this time and threatened to move next time she was here and not give her pawrents our new address, BOL. Uh, you don’t think she was serious, do you?
We had a cold spell in December and I got to wear my red plaid winter coat that I got for Christmas last year. Or maybe it was the year before. Anyhoo, it sure felt good when we went out to do our business early in the morning. The next day it had warmed up nice and neither of us had to wear a sweater or coat. Mom took just me and Gracie for a walk in the sunshine.
Gracie even started sleeping in Mom’s bed with us. It’ ok, she doesn’t take up much room. And Mom would cover her with a blanket so she didn’t get cold during the night.
So that’s my story of having a friend stay with us. I hope she comes back and visits again soon!
Lucy, the birthday month girl. (I’m gonna be 9 and that’s so fine! *smiles and wags*)

Yikes is right! Everything, yes everything, would be shut down here. Some of the schools were still closed yesterday with just the few inches we got. Be safe and stay warm!

Sleep overs are fun. Did you and Gracie tell secrets too and have snacks in bed?
I think your comments are coming up as anonymous on my blog…not sure why.

Hi Lucy……..it’s mighty nice for you not to mind having company but since it’s someone you already KNOW, it’s easier having a visitor isn’t it. Gracie seems to fit right in too. It’s nice of you all to make her feel at home while she visits!
Hugs, Teddy
