The most precious gift

Well, the tree and ornaments are packed away for another year.  The stockings likewise. The holiday music is back in the drawer (taking up most of it, I might add), and Mr. L has breathed a sigh of relief for another 11 months.

Santa was very good to me this year.  Mr. L gave me a Kindle Fire (which I will blog more about later) and a bunch of other swell stuff, but the gift that meant the most to me was this one ... in a frame.

Sisters-2011

This picture of our sister act was taken only a few months before we lost our dear sweet Bonnie (left).  Unwrapping this made me cry, but only because I miss her so.  Bonnie wasn't smiling, but maybe that's because she already didn't feel well.  (We'll never know.)

What was your favorite Christmas or Hanukkah gift?

  1. That is an awesome gift Lorna.

    My favorite gift this year ended up being a practical one - a GPS. I am so directionally challenged that I can get lost in my own neighborhood. Apparently everyone knew I needed help, and I ended up with 2 GPS units. So, I took one back and got a Kindle Touch (gave my older Kindle to my dad). I used the GPS to transport some cats to a rescue this weekend and it worked splendidly. Plus, during my 5 hour drive, I listened to an audio book on my Kindle. Life is good...

  2. Oh that is such a beautiful gift :)

    I think my favorite gift was my Kobo Vox from my husband. I've used it plenty of times already and love being able to buy a book instantly on it!

  3. That is a beautiful picture and a lovely gift. What a nice way to remember you beloved feline and your other still living beloved feline. :) I got a new microwave and a new DVD player for Christmas. Those are pretty nice! And a new toaster big enough to toast bagels!
