Various things happening
We'll start with the gloom report, because I'd like for there to be good news towards the end of this. I got a nice big jesus fix in today because we had to go to a funeral. The hubby's ex' mother died, rather out of the blue in fact, and we went to Portales today for the service. It was nice enough, but I'm not all that big on the churchy thing and there's always plenty of that around here. I'd only met her a couple times, much to my detriment because the woman was certainly a firecracker. The place was pretty crowded - a testament to how wonderful she was. We didn't stay long enough for the hubby to speak with the family; it's tax season and he can't exactly afford to hang around. I know when he gets a chance they'll talk on the phone.
And another death - our friend, who played Lucy to my hubby's Ethel a few years back at the Beast Western in Rialto, her mother was diagnosed with cancer recently and we got the call that she would be going quite soon. Turns out that the predicted week was rather optimistic and she's already gone. I don't believe we'll be able to make it to that funeral, unfortunately. I got to meet her when Lucy got married last year, and she was a sweet lady.
Oy, this year has been doom and gloom almost from the get-go. I'm getting a bit weary of this constant barrage of illness and death. It's everywhere! Seems every time I turn around something bad is happening to someone. So no more of it, please. I will now turn to the good news.
First off, our friend from Farwell is now out of the cardiac ward and in a place for extended care. Things are looking up, his wife his staying in a mobile home on the premises so she isn't too far away and also not paying outrageous hotel bills just for the privilege of being close to her loved one. We expect to be going out to Amarillo this Sunday to see her and give her a bit of relief.
And finally, to hopefully put a smile on your faces - our kitty Lila should be a mommy pretty soon. She's been doing that rolling around and trilling thing that kitties in heat always do. Weezer has been all over her - he's mounting her or sniffing at her nethers pretty much every opportunity he gets. I figure that she'll have her babies just a little after I've left for Faire (this always happens), so I won't get to see her pretty little kittens until I get home.
K', that's it for now.
