Reconnecting with the cats

While I was in Jackson, I check in with some old friends.

Burnie said hi, but I think I was keeping him from his nap.

He wanted to get back to sleep.  I understand that.  He sleeps even more than I do.

Crash greeted me very formally.

But before I knew it, we were sharing all sorts of secrets again.

Crash and Burnie are a little different than the other animals I know.  They're furry and soft like the bears and penguins at home, but they're warm and breath like Cromely.  They're a little skittish though.

Merry Christmas! From Jackson, NJ

Isn't this a pretty tree?





Look in the middle. That's me!







When I'm at home I spend time under a big penguin's wing, unless it's Christmas time, because then I sit in a tree with lots of little penguins.   On this trip I got to visit an even bigger tree. It has fewer penguins, but it does have lots of pretty ornaments.  Cromely says some of them are even older than he is.  That's old.

It was fun hanging out in there, but now it's time to go back to work and help Cromely wrap presents.





Have a wonderful Christmas with lots of ice creams!

Does -- Hot Springs, AR

Cromely took us to Arkansas in June.  I don't know why.  It was so hot I had to take off my scarf.

AA170 -- Somewhere over the Pacific

Japan was great, but eventually it was time to go home. Maybe I'll go back again someday.  There's lots more ice cream to try.

Gonpachi in Odaiba -- Tokyo, Japan

This restaurant had very different seats.

This neat guy was keeping an eye on things outside.

Fuji TV Building on Odaiba -- Tokyo, Japan

This is the Fuji TV building on an island.

See that ball?  I was in there! That's where this picture comes from:

Asakusa --- Tokyo, Japan

The crowds were crazy here.  It's part shopping center and part shrine.
