There are different things that made me happy this month.
Getting another car. An 11 year old Buick. It will be a second car. It's a deep purple in colour.
Midnight Pussy, our mouse police. To this day since she moved in, she still does a great job of catching mice!
Bookwright: I created another book. In a thrift shop one day I found a 200 sheet package of notebook filler paper. It appears to be older paper as it is drilled for a 5 hole notebook instead of 3. The alignment of the holes is different too. It would not fit a standard 3 hole pocket portfolio. I hand-made a new cover for the paper.
Swap-bot November 2018 Journal project. I joined the swap. It is my 9th participation. I like the creativity options I put into it.
Blessed be,

In the wee hours of this morning I am brought out of a deep sleep via the loud meow from Midnight like she had her mouth full. That got me off the bed to take a look. Yep - she had a mouse in her jaws. She dropped it and it began to run. She caught it again. Then she dropped it into her food dish like she was serving herself some dinner. Second time she did that with a mouse. I never saw a cat do that. Very cute ! She has 24 toes and claws. 6 on each of her 4 feet. I am surprised anything survives her big feet.

Addendum: She did it again and again! The night before last she caught a mouse and put it in her food dish. 🤣 . She has done this 6 times now.
Some of you, my readers, may remember the tv show: Green Acres. It was a sit-com that aired from 1965 to 1971. On the show was a country store by name of Drucker's. It was a store that sold everything. The Hooterville post office was also located inside Drucker's Store.
Forward to 2018 . . well we have Carlson's Country Store. The store is 98 years old. It sells a little of everything. The Turtlepoint post office is located inside the store also.
Open 2 hours a day. It is a room that measures 16' x 7'. Somewhere between here and where ever, my mail has been lost from time to time. I also had some damaged . This is the only post office in a 10 mile and more radius. There is a very high employee turnover. Those who do get hired here do not stay here long. No one wants to work for 2 hours a day and 6 days a week. I do very little business here. In wintertime this is my only option as my driving anywhere is severely limited.
If I send you something in the mail and you don't receive it, then please send me an email or text and let me know.

Writing and creating made me happy this month as well as the environment I do it in. My library in my home. This small room holds my telly, computer, stereos, and my crafting supplies. Tis a nice place to write, read, and meditate.
Currently I am working on 3 projects. A couple Swap-bot projects and a personal narrative. The S-b stuff also involve making journals. This is a pleasure for me. I use my life experience in my trade to do it. When I was able to work, the print shop customers chose the materials and inks to use. Now when I create it is a purely selfish endeavor. I get to choose. If people like it then wonderful! Otherwise I am happy.
