Normalcy

Greeting most humans and many others,

Well, things around here are back to whatever "normal" is for us. No more humming toilets and that sort of thing for a few days now. I suppose "they" are gone.

Missy Linda is happy about one thing, and that is pretty rare. Mr. Nick asked if he could set up Missy Linda's Christmas village at his house. He remembers that he enjoyed doing it with Missy Linda when he was a kid, and he wants to put it up with Missy Ryley. Also, it hasn't been set up around here for at least four years- - -not since I've been here. Missy Linda is very happy that it is going to be enjoyed, and she does not have to do the work!

She did have to stoop over and drag it out of the closet that goes underneath the stairs that is behind another closet. But, hey, maybe Mr. Nick will want to keep it at his house after this!

Evidently, it is quite an undertaking as Missy Linda has collected things for the village for about thirty years. She has a little downtown area with a school, store, fire station, and train station. There is a side of town with smaller houses, and a side of town with big 'ol mansions. There is a farm and a skating rink with skaters, a ski slope with skiiers and a hockey rink with a game in progress. There is even a Santa in his sleigh that flies around over the town. Just the electrical system is an afternoon's job. Merry Christmas, Mr. Nick!
