Just a quick note to let you know I am thinking of you & your son re:kitty. 17 years seems like a long time, but we never have enough time with precious pets AND precious people in our lives.
How are you both doing?
Had a wonderful day trip to my friend's mom's funeral. It was really in the boonies... The service, commitment, dinner all went well & the deceased was a spitfire of a woman, Miss Cleveland at one time & she sang with many of the big bands. She was a knockout in her youth & a beautiful woman as she aged
My friend & I decided to take a LONG ride back via very little county roads. We asked those at funeral what was around to see & they laughed & said the Football Hall of Fame in Canton(which of course everyone here knows about & it was a long way away).That isn't what I meant but they didn't understand. I look for natural things, interesting things along the way - NOT NECESSARILY BIG TOURISTY ATTRACTIONS.
Let me tell you what we found. a community (crossroads) called FUNK. that had a sweet dog that enticed me to come pet & play with him for a bit (while my dogs in the car were watching & jealous) Vistas that would take your breath away. A little Federal nature preserve tucked away on a little narrow road where we let the dogs romp a bit, a grave of a man from the revolutionary war (the only other one I have seen is at Mt Vernon....General George Washington). That was in an obscure rural area, kitty corner from a cemetery I had just browsed through, gorgeous lakes & river, wonderful estates in the middle of nowhere, pastoral farms with the fattest goats I have ever seen, Amish buggies galore, old barely standing barns that were huge & no doubt at one time stately & proud of the task they had to shelter animals, produce & perhaps had a couple or two in love along the way find fun in the straw, , . I could go on & on. and of course I took a LOT of pix along the way
Today right after church going to see movie Bella (anyone see it?)
then go to the Browns game "watch" at a fav club with huge screen & good eats.
Our Ohio State did not fare so well yesterday. Watched the last minutes over dinner. The little Italian Mom & pop place has TVs around & all eyes were on the screens. A scuffle between players ensued after final seconds. Not sure what that was about can guess a little name calling began the ordeal
We are both doing better. Barry called last night and he isn’t generally a big talker but he wanted to talk a lot last night and I was so glad he did let it out.
He told me that his cat was ‘his reason’ and he knew when he opened the door to come in that he waited for the “meow” greeting. He is sad but will be alright. He was talking about his dad too and said everything you love leaves you eventually! He said he understands better how much I must have missed “dad” so bad in those first months after.
