Hi Kris. Ted is so handsome and looks like a fun friend. What a precious kitty. And he's a lucky kitty since you found him - or should I say he found you. What is that sweet kitty's name?
My kitty is actually a feral puddy-cat. There was a stray cat who frequented my yard. It was not friendly. I started feeding it and eventually she let me touch her. She would even come inside my sunroom. One morning I went out on the deck and she was nursing 5 babies. To make a long story short - I chose one kitty and that was Peek-A-Boo. He grew to be a fat cat tho' nothing like a Coon.
I moved into Byron Manor because I could no longer do my housekeeping and yard work. At the time my daughter worked at the Manor, caring for alzheimer and dimentia patients. I adjusted quickly. Now and then I think of what I gave up. My home was a 2-story farm house over 100 years old and my yard was full of flower beds. I cried myself to sleep thinking of Peek. Sometimes I think of an item I had that was sold and remind myself it's a material thing I can't take it with me when God calls me home.
Think that pretty much covers it and it's lunch time. The meals aren't always to my liking. My daughter shops for groceries and sometimes I eat in my room.
Why aren't you sharing news about other pets? I'm nosey. Gotta go - Love, Anne

Damn ... he saw a lot ... I only went to Vietnam. Please thank him for his service as well. Hope you had a wonderful holiday.
It is sad to have 3 wars in a man's life time. My husband didn't survive open heart surgery.
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. Roasted turkey and all the trimmings. I pigged out.

I too apprecate your comments. I thought I had responded last night but don't know where my post disappeared to! I'm not sure how artistic either Annie or I are but we've had a pleasant chat. Thanks for understanding about Mom.

SWFeral ... You're welcome ... I guess I could say "been there ... done that" ... I took care of my Dad for nearly 10 years ... although I was lucky. He wasn't always cantankerous. He died at 93 a few years ago. Caregiving is a tough, sometimes full contact sport. I came to appreciate the impact of losing independence ... & I realized that the people closest to us, can sometimes be the hardest on us. So it does require some patience & forgiveness. But in the end, if you're lucky, you will feel like I did, which is glad I did it, but wouldn't want to do it again. Best of luck to you.
PS: Annie ... sorry for your loss. Keep those posts coming. ;)
