A Little Better Today

Yesterday was really tough, but we're doing a little better today.  I've caught myself looking for Cinder in her usual spots a couple times.  We miss her a lot.  The furry boys have seemed a little unsettled at times, too.  But we're all doing okay.

I've done a few things around the house, went out to do a couple errands, and we caught up on a few recorded shows.  Golfer got to the "Y".

There is still some snow on the ground but the streets all seem to be clear and dry, at least the ones I was on.  But it is COLD!  We started out at 16 this morning and made it all the way up to 25!

Stay safe!

Good-bye Sweet Girl




These are a couple of my favorite pictures of Cinder.  We had to say good-bye to her today.  She started having some problems and after a thorough exam the doctor said she had either had a stroke, had a brain  tumor or some other neurological event.  Considering her quality of life, we had to make a tough decision.  We have had over ten years to love her.  We will miss her.

And Today's Weather . . . . . . .

is snow!  I took this picture a couple hours ago. It's still snowing and things are all covered out there now.


Be careful if you have to go out!

It Was a Cold Night

This picture pretty much says it all.  Right before Golfer took this picture, Cinder was snuggled up on his lap.


From the "top" here are Finnigan, Cecil, and Angus.  Cecil has been a lot more sociable lately!  This is how we spend our evenings watching TV.  :)

Stay safe!

Some Thoughts

A cousin recently posted a question on Facebook asking for pet peeves.  I didn't reply on Facebook for various reasons, but I do have some "peeves".

Anyone who abuses  and mistreats children and animals.  If you can't treat them lovingly, don't have them.  That goes for children and animals.  Be nice.  And on that topic, have some patience and be nice to older people, too.

People who come to our country and want to live here, but want to change it and don't want to learn and speak English.  If you think you want to live here, come legally and adapt.  We certainly tried when we lived in Germany for four years and it was a great experience.  If you don't like our country enough to adapt and learn to speak our language, stay where you are.

People who don't obey the traffic laws.  I could write pages on that, but I won't.  If you know me, you know how I feel about traffic in general.

People who don't proof-read.  Some postings are like trying to figure out a puzzle.  Remember, "auto correct" is not always what you are trying to say.

People who won't get a job and take care of their families and just expect the rest of us to pay their way and take care of them.  In this category are the people who keep having children just to get bigger welfare checks.  (see first peeve)

Here's a new one - TV shows where the background noise and music is so loud you can't here the actors talking.

The current POTUS.  Period.  Don't get me started.

I'm stopping here.  Stay safe!  Have a good day!
