Welcome back for Part 2 of my catch up with my friend Linette Ramos de Soto . We really got rolling in this second half. Linette learns how weird I am and asks the questions that most Christ-followers have, but never ask.

It's a good time and February 17th starts the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse (moving out of the Snake)(Fun "Amy" fact: My first business name idea was "Serpentine Images")... So we're celebrating another New Year here with Part 2. Also, it's the start of Ramadan and the last day before Lent. Lot's of celebration and reflection for many. Perfect atmosphere to meet up with Linette and really get into 2026.

Linette is a multifaceted talent. On top of being a book author, she's written some songs and I'd like to direct you all to her albums:

Spotify: Here

Apple Music: Here

Linette's business: Breads and Threads: Here

Buy Linette's book: Here Ramblings of a Chicken Lady

This is a 3 part podcast, so come back next week for more catch up with Linette and this show. God bless you all!

Happy New Year Listeners! I know we're a whole month behind but we made it through the holidays and what's more is the holidays (Thanksgiving) provided an opportunity for your host to meet IRL a friend that up until then, had only been remote relationship.

Linette Ramos de Soto has been a friend for around 5 years and some change. We finally met and got to experience each other in the flesh. I was welcomed into Linette's family. I ate some of the amazing food that was prepared for the holiday and most importantly, got to give a hug that has been long overdue.

Linette is a multifaceted talent. Recently, she's written some songs and at the top of the links I'll provide, I'd like to direct you all to her albums:

Technically, Massy came before Ickus, but Ickus went before Massy, so I titled this the way they left.

We will forever miss you babies. We look forward to seeing you again when it's our time. Thank you Lord for the gifts you gave in these two cats. We are so very grateful. So glad they are out of pain.

Mrs. Massy Face (AKA: Mass-tastic, Burnt Marshmallow, Baby Iorek Byrnison, Massy Girl with a Twirl, Sweet Angel Kitty): June 2005 - November 24th 2025

Ickus (AKA: Ickaman, Man): May 2008 - September 30th 2025

Welcome back Elo Solarii... It's not been that long, but let's be real, there's been much to say. Sometimes, we need more time to get it all out. Sometimes, our bladders get in the way. :)

Check out Elo at Youth Gone Wild in New Richmond, WI.

Thank you again, Elo! You honor us with your story. We'll be keeping in touch as time moves ahead.

God bless!
