Oh Carolyn … I haven’t been here on Xanga much at all since they closed my account down … then I wrote them and they opened it again, at least until January 31st, when it’s then that I’ll need to pay near $50 to continue posting for a year … which I don’t think I’ll be able to do. It’s a slow time of year here for my husband’s work and we pinch the pennies until they squeal! So, after the 31st, I won’t be able to post here, but I think I’ll still be able to read and comment on my list of subscribers, at least that’s how it was when they had closed me down before. But if for some reason, I can’t get into my account here at all, I’ve been working on a new ‘free’ blog over on the full version of WordPress … I like it much better, it’s easier to use, and there’s support if you get ‘stuck’. I was also able to import ALL of my past posts from Xanga with just a couple of clicks!

There are also a few Xanga friends that I’ve found there, as well as over on the Blogger site I had set up (you had left a comment in the past there, too … I also set that one up just so I wouldn’t lose track of my friends that moved there, too. I haven’t been able to figure out how to import my files onto Blogger, though … it was so easy on WordPress! But I do hope you’ll follow me at both places when my Xanga site here expires … as far as I know, Xanga will still be here, and I’ll be checking in to read and comment, but I guess I’ll just have to post on one, or the other, of my blogs beginning in February. I do miss sharing and staying in closer touch like we all did on the ‘old’ Xanga. Change is inevitable when it comes to ‘techy’ things. I also haven’t seen any updates from the ‘Xanga Team’ on their blog since September of last year, and I know there are people having issues with this site … I think we may have been abandoned! And that’s another reason I’d be leery of paying for a year’s subscription, too. :/ Not sure if my account would reopen if I did use pay pal to re-subscribe!

Anyway, I hope all that didn’t sound too confusing to you … and now, for future reference, here are the two links to both my blogs .. as I said, you’ve already been to the one on Blogger, and if you do start a blog there, please let me know! Still I hope you can come visit!

I do love the photos of your Brutus! He is a beautiful cat, and I trust, settling in quite nicely!! I’m wondering if he’s full, or part, Siamese … he sure has the coloring, but the face isn’t as ‘sharp’ as a Siamese. I would LOVE to get our two kitties a cat tree … I know they would love that, too … never ending joy for them, and entertainment for us!

Hope you’re doing well these days … I’m still getting over the flu and still sound like a frog from the laryngitis that I have … at one point I completely lost my voice. I hope I start sounding normal soon, though … my cats look at me funny when I talk to them! lol! Have a blessed weekend, my friend, and I hope to see you soon!

((Hugs))
