Mommy and Daddy left today. They are on their way to the airport here in Chattanooga. I heard them say they’re flying in a plane to Atlanta. Then they’re taking another plane all the way across the pond to London. Then, they’re taking an Ocean Liner named the Queen Mary. It’s going to take them through where the Titanic sunk and most of the people died! *shiver* But if they make it through there, they’ll end up in New York City, and take another plane home. They’re going to balloroom dance to a big band every night! I won’t see them again until very, very late on the Monday before Christmas. Mommy might not be able to get the pictures Miss Christy sends her of me and my sisters. And she might not be able to say hi or show any of them to you until after she gets back. And after she recovers. And after she goes into work and gets the bulletins printed for 3 services. Hey, wait, that means I can’t go to work next week, either.
But don’t worry, we’ll be back. Maybe even before next year.
I might wait right here with my new friend until my Mommy comes home.
Love and *wags* and a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Xena, Lucy and Chia
Pee Ess: You didn’t get a Christmas card from us because Mommy was too busy to make and send any. Or even make and post any. *sigh* Maybe next year…

I found out that you only have to worry about ice floes and icebergs in the late spring and summer. Right now it’s too cold for the ice to break away.
Xena: I guess that’s what matters…if she HAD to go away.

Oh my goodness!!! I wondered if they would take the same route as the Titanic on their way back to the States. But don’t worry. Your mom would move Heaven and earth to get back to you. You 3 are her babies. And that’s all that matters, right? Love you and Merry Christmas!! 🩷
