Palo and all,

Just a note to thank all who sent messages of sympathy at the loss of my little kittym Nacho. It has been a really tough week made worst by a flare up of Menieres Syndrome. But your wonderful words and concern were a tremendous help. I have printed off all your messages and will keep them with Nacho's things.

The grandkids arrive late tonite and I need to get some things done before they arrive..like make cookies....Gramps is going to take them camping this week and they have to have those vitimins!Talk to you later.

hi celtic gal
I am happy to see you
we are having monsoon season now in tucson, do you remember that from when you lived in Yuma
however this monsoon season is not like ones in past
remember all the wondrous lightning we used to get on desert?
this summer we have no lightning at all, just mistiness and humidity
we only got rain twice
which is not much, since we didnt have rain for 2 years
but for first time in l-o-n-g time I am seeing green things bud up from earth
must be desert weeds
I had forgotten earth gave birth, it's been so long
I love you

when r u comin' to tucson to teach me how to swim?
I have been practicing deadman's float
will you teach me flutter kick
kisses, Palo (should I practice blowing bubbles thru my nose in bathtub?)

I heard California is beautiful for camping

Its always so tough when we lose one of our dear beloved pets...I guess most of us have been through it, so we know and sympathize with your loss...

I dont know how others believe, but I always believe that God intended us to be the kind caretakers of the animals He created...and when we mourn when they die, I believe He feels our sadness also...Your Nacho, is safe in Gods memory, for I believe He loved your Naco as well...
