((HUGS))Good morning, Kathy. How’s it going?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...I picked my sister up at the airport last night. She came to give me a break in caring for my Mom. Both her memory and her hallucinations are getting worse. I need a mental break.

Hope you and Bo have a wonderful day. Hope Bo has been a great hunter of late.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night, Ladies....I’m right behind you. Rest is needed.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for Arrowhead's recovery, and in his absence....

[radu]

I’m getting ready to shut things down and head off to bed too. Got all the cats who get extra canned food fed and the sick ones medicated now.

Glad you’re able to go to bed early for a change, Kathy. A big THANK YOU to your sister for taking over mom duties for a while to give you a break.

Sleep well both of you.

God bless and keep safe our troops worldwide.

Talk About “Enemy Territory”!

We had to walk quite a way from the Parking Garage to get to the venue. I noticed some huge lighted windows at a print shop with students gathered around taking pictures with their smart phones of some activity inside the window. Naturally, my curiosity was piqued, and I glanced inside only to see hairy people silk screening HUGE anti Trump posters for tomorrow’s “festivities”. These signs were as large as a dining room tabletop!

Tres’ Expensive! Who (or what?) is paying for these?

Little did these little creeps know that the old lady in the crowd was one of those people who MADE Harvard Square a hip place a half century ago! They are “Culturally Appropriating” MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!!!
