udate from TuMani

The weather here has been too warm for a regular November and that always bothers me cause I am afraid we will have tornados. One year it was like this in December and there was a tornado on Christmas Eve in Brentwood that killed a couple of people. It is supposed to turn cooler tonight and there are snow flurries in the forecast for some areas . Last week was Jaime's birthday and I got her a new kitten. Her name is Mitzi and she is all black except for a white spot about the size of a quarter on her lower tummy. She is five months old and has an underbite that makes her look a little like an English bulldog. She is a shoulder monkey---Shadow was a shoulder monkey and we have missed that since Shadow left.

This is a picture of Mitzi laying on Jaime's back. She weighs about three pounds(maybe) The other kitties have accepted her. Diannah adopted her the minute she saw her which surprised us cause Diannah is sort of a bully with her brothers. Her brothers and mother love Mitzi too. Ed has taken up with her and so has Asuka---Pedro and Cassie are a little jealous but I have seen them groom her and play with her so there is no hissing except for Piper who just wants to be left alone in her laundry room. I think Piper was mistreated befor she came to live with us. She is getting more social but it may take months for her to feel like exploring the entire house.

Monday was our wedding anniversary--thirty five years. Where has all the time gone? I can't believe that Meg is going to be sixteen in January. So far she has no interest in learning to drive---doesn't sound like a typical teenager maybe I better check that birth certificate again :)

I have been thinking about making a TuMani blog but am undecided--what do you think?
