Moving On

Well, Kathy my very organized admin at the store asked me to post a hybrid ornament on my blog for Friday the 27th. Well, being in a hurry as it was Christmas, I just saw the 27th, which is Saturday as you all know and waited to post it. Then after a email yesterday, I looked again and saw the Friday part. Kathy posted a ink to the ornament on the DSS blog, but it won’t hurt to post it here, even though it is a day late. So sorry Kathy!!

Kathy has really done a great job on getting these ornaments all organized and posted on the right day. It was such a huge job and I did not hear one complaint out of her. What a trooper!

Moving ON

Hot water update

Finally! We have hot water. Late Christmas Day hubby was able to get it working. Have you ever noticed how much you wash your hands? or how much you use water in cooking? or how much you depend upon being able to run to the bathroom to take a shower if needed? I really became very conscious of these things this past week. I hesitated to do things that might have made me sweaty or very dirty knowing that I could not run and get a shower. I even hesitated at times to pick up Dayton as he sometimes has a little leakage that can be quite smelly. He did not mind though as he really does not like being picked up. He prefers to do the cuddling on his terms. His favorite is to sit on the back of my chair and purr.

Missie Update

I received an email from Missie Cook’s son before Christmas letting me know that his mother had passed. But, the father did not want us to post it until after Christmas as he did not want to quench any Christmas spirits. Here is the message I received:
I’m sorry to be sending this now but I must leave soon and have no other choice.
It’s over and has been for a few weeks.
My dad did not want us to say anything til after xmas as he did not want to ruin anyone’s xmas
so please do not give anyone the news til afterwards.
My dad is not doing well. He is hurt, mourning and angry all at once.
He can’t do anything right now but be by himself.
My family thanks everyone for all they did.
please convey this to all
we had a private family service, my mom passed in peace, she never woke up.
thank you again.
Adam.
p.s.. I will be closing her blog shortly.

It sounds like the family can use our prayers during this time of sorrow and grief. It tugs at my heart at all they have had to go through. I will be praying for them.
