Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for December 26, 2012

Good Ole Dad, always supportive!!~Hi everyone, in town for the Holidays, and wish y’all a Happy, healthy, and safe New Year!~AND a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to lightenup!~I love living at the beach, and am making the move permanent, sans computer, but I’ll peek in from time to time!~Be happy!

You’re not fooling anyone, ladies! Dad didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday…Hi Willi Nilli!!! So good to hear from you and thank you for my birthday greeting! That totally made my day! :-) I’m glad you’re having a wonderful time living at the beach… we miss you and you’ll always be part of the clan. ((hugs!))Have a great day, nutty Cathy clan, from someone who is young-at-heart to all the other "kids’ out there!

Have a fantastic day, lightenup – may all your surprises be the best kinds!

I’m not leaving the house today, lots of snow in Ohio!

Happy birthday lightenup, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and hope the rest of your day is wonderful.

While I’d love to get out today and try to find some after-Christmas bargains (maybe even begin shopping now for Christmas next year!), the weather conditions are such that even if I wanted to go, my husband would probably be too afraid for my safety to let me go by myself . . . and since he’s not a browser like I am, I’d rather just stay home than to feel rushed by a man who likes to just get what he’s going for then getting the hell out of the store and back home again as quickly as he can! Maybe the weather will be better by the weekend and stores might still have a few bargains left to pick up then? Guess we’ll just have to see!

Hi, rgcviper!

Aaron and Dr. Billy: Still missing you both tremendously, hoping you’re okay — wherever you are — and that LMB had a super-wonderful 2nd birthday on Christmas Eve!

Whether you celebrated Christmas or not, hope all my “Cathy” friends had a really nice day yesterday!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas in whatever way you wished to celebrate.HAPPY BIRTHDAY lightenupIt seems that I may have missed saying Happy Birthday to a few other friends lately. Sorry about that and there was no intention of leaving anyone out. It is COLD here and way too much snow. I wish I could move to the beach for the next few months.

Aww I’m just getting back to the computer, and what nice, heart-warming greetings I got… THANK YOU!!! What a great birthday! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥And I LOVE the Cathy cake, GretchensMom!! :-) Extra nutty, right? LOLHave a wonderful, fantastic night, everyone!! HUGS TO ALL, especially Aaron and Billy who we miss dearly!

Why does this one not surprise me?

Happy Birthday, lightenup! Hope you’re having a wonderful day and get everything you ask for.

HI, MOM!

Hello, “Cathy” Clan. You guys are great.

Happy Birthday lightenup! I hope the rest of your holiday goes as planned. Checking in later than I have been for the past while. Took younger daughter to visit her grandmother this afternoon since older daughter had to head back to Toronto today. (She made it before the storm hit – Yea!).
