Tiger, tiger in our tree. I see him looking out at me. Who knew, when kitten found that he….Would make his home a Christmas tree?

When first he shimmied up the tree…He was a kit, 2 oz, pound three,…Now 15 pounds, give or take…His climb doth cause the tree to quake.

He is the smartest cat of all…and with his polydactyl claws..He knocks ornaments off with fury…Picking them up makes me weary.

Tiger coos with delight…As he climbs up past the lights…Then hubby cries out with a mighty shout…Tiger, from the tree get out!

Then Mr. Tiger takes a flight…Over all the Christmas lights…Like a sparrow, like a robin…He just makes those lights go wobblin’

Mr. Tiger, in our tree…Why did you climb up so high? Did you think you are a bird? Did you think that you could fly?

Tiger, tiger, in our tree…Again I see him look out at me…Who knew, when kitten found, that he…Would make his home a Christmas tree?

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Will is a lot like his dad. He loves decorating for Christmas.

He bought a Christmas tree at Goodwill, along with some porcelain houses for his bookcase. I can’t wait to see his tree.

He posted his pictures on Facebook, then added, “Can’t wait to help my parents put theirs up.” Love that boy.

Mary will start paid work in October.

Mary came home last week with the happy news that she will be starting paid work at the homeless shelter where she has been volunteering two days a week for the last year. This is full time, temporary work during the “giving season.” It will last from October through mid January.

They gave her a chance to practice her skills in accounting on a regular basis. Now they will give her a chance to be paid for it. Volunteering can lead to paid work.

And next week she will start on-the-road driving instruction in at the local rehabilitative driving school.
