Caturday and More

This has been an ordinary week compared to the excitement of Christmas. I had a number of end of year tasks, including a frustrating search for a payment that I was supposed to have received from a retirement account. (After you reach a certain age, the IRS requires that distributions be made from any IRAs that you have.) I wound up spending an hour on the phone trying to find out why that distribution never reached my bank. Apparently they sent it to some other account that was not mine! Mutual of America has promised to find out what happened and get my money to me.

It’s been cold, but most afternoons have been mild enough to take Charlie to one of the parks for a walk. He’ll give you a brief report below this picture for Caturday. I edited it in Picsart and then added an extra border in PhotoEditor.

Hi, it’s Charlie! I don’t really like having my picture taken, but Mom says she needs them for my report. Here I am at the state park. We went there twice this week. We also went to a Riley Park in Woodstock, but icold that day so we didn’t stay long. I went to day boarding twice, and I went to Sadie‘s house. I like Sadie‘s house the best because we get to play and run. I get to use her toys and eat one of her dog biscuits. Maybe more. She doesn’t mind, but sometimes she doesn’t like when I sit on her mom‘s lap.

Sadie has a lamb toy and look! I got one for Christmas! I haven’t gotten the squeaker out yet but I’m working on it. 

We had some big winds here. Mom had to pick up some things that blew in the yard. I still have to go outside, but we don’t stay out long when it’s windy.

The birds still come to the feeders, especially the lady cardinal. 

The last picture shows me at Sadie’s house.
