Hey Annie,
The story about your Aunt Rose made me remember something I hadn't thought of years. Being raised Catholic, when I was preparing for my confirmation, we had to pick someone to be a sponser. So, I picked my favorite aunt, Aunt Gertie, who was my dad's sister. I assumed her name was "Gertrude". It was many years later when I learned her real name was ... Genevieve.
Anyway, are you staying warm, or trying to? Even Patch doesn't want to go out ... except when he has to go do his business. He'll pee in the cat litter box, but not poop. Go figure.
Stay warm,
Jane
