I have celebrated Xmas with my girl and Spot before. We might get some toys from Santa Claws. My girl tried to decorated a little tree that Spot would knock down. So, she didn’t keep doing that after a while. She would usually give us a can of tuna each. One Xmas, we had Isis too and she asked for a can of tuna, which Ali gave to her immediately.

That was the best Xmas. We had Ali all day and we each had a can of tuna. We didn’t need anything else.

I was born near Thanksgiving a long time ago. I know some humans celebrate the holiday. My girl would sometimes give me a can of tuna for Thanksgiving. She didn’t really do anything special for herself. I know she used to celebrate with her family, but all that has changed over the years. She no longer cares to celebrate the holiday anymore. I do like a tuna treat every now and then, so it was good for me.

Ali has always done some kind of crafting. Whether it was sewing, cross stitching or knitting or building dollhouses, she was always busy doing something. The only time she’d stop was when she was lying in bed sleeping or trying to get to sleep. I don’t know why she had to do so much all the time. I guess she enjoyed crafting and making things. She didn’t always keep everything she made. She gave much of it away to grateful people.

I can always remember Ali doing something for work. I never liked it when she worked away from home. I’d miss her and I got lonely. She would be gone too long and then I protested. She got my message and learned to stay home at least one whole day a week and that made me happier.

Actually, it was even better when she could do her work at home. Then I would know where she was at any time. I could sleep and dream in peace knowing my girl was near at hand whenever I needed her. I hope she can continue to work at home. I know Nuri likes it too.

I don’t know why my girl built a dollhouse. I suppose she likes them. I watched from afar. I wasn’t that interested. Spot and Isis watched her and thought she was building the dollhouse for them. I don’t know where they got that idea. I do know Ali made dolls to live in the dollhouse that was complete with furniture and accessories. She paid close attention to the details.

I don’t think she kept that particular dollhouse, but it didn’t stop her from trying to build another one later one. I guess she needs a dollhouse and some dolls. She doesn’t play with those things as she used to. These days, she uses the dolls and dollhouses to film her Writing Outtakes series. She has a doll which represents her and several which represent cats.

My girl likes to cook from scratch. She tends to cook for herself quite often. Perhaps not every day, but fairly often. It isn’t uncommon for her to be cooking while we watch her. It is a curious thing. I remember there was a time she actually cooked for Spot and me for a little while. Her cooking wasn’t bad. She didn’t cook our meat, but gave us some other food added to our meat. Spot and I were quite happy and content when she cooked for us.

It didn’t last long, but I know both Spot and Isis loved to watch her cook. Ali never cared that we all watched her so closely. She likes to cook and she always seemed so healthy and happy to me. Perhaps it was her cooking.
