Happy Christmas #Caturday from Daisy!
In 2002, we adopted the beautiful Daisy (or did she adopt us?) from @catadoptionrescueefforts. She was very affectionate and sociable, liking anyone who visited. Sadly, we lost her in 2011. She was a bright light in our lives.

What time of year is busiest for you? Many would say the holiday season. Some pick June, traditional month for weddings and graduations. What’s my busiest time? Read my post “The Business of Busyness” on this week’s Writers in Residence blog.
