Kitty
1999 - 2007
(Soo many things have been going on with me lately that I just can't seem to get focused on blogging. )
My dad's mother passed away two weeks ago. She lived to be 96 years young! She worked every day of her life. The only reason that she went to the hospital in the first place was that she told one of her co-workers that she was feeling tired. So, her co-worker took her to the hospital to see what was wrong. She had had heart problems for a long time and we were wondering if it might be the issue. She ended up having pneumonia, and a few other minor things. But all of the minor things really brought her down. When she didn't end up getting any better she ended up having cancer all of these years and we didn't know it. She lived in a the same house for about 50 years. Her streets were made of bricks! So, anytime a car went by it sounded like horse hooves going by! We sure squished about 100.00 worth of coins on the railroad tracks behind her house. That was the silly fun we had - placing the coins on the track, walking back home, listening for the train whistle and letting out a squeal of glee as we all raced to the tracks to search for our squished prize! Simple pleasures! She sure led a full life and everyone was there to send her on her way. She was buried near my mom and she had her funeral in the same chapel. She was soo beautiful. She was a crafter like my mom and they shared sooo many crafts. I figure that there will be a little more crafting in heaven with those two paired together again!!
The Life in the Yard...
Our Orange plant is really making us oranges! Who knew! We had to spread a little Seven dust and put some chimes near them to keep the critters away!
Our Tried-n-True Gerber Daisey! Never fails to bloom and bring color to the dead yard!
And even though it never bloomed this year due to a late frost, our hydrangea never looked heartier!
And who would have thought that our gardenia bush will STILL be making the backyard smell so good?
And my personal favorite - the hibiscus! It has the most beautiful samony/red HUGE blooms on it! And they just keep coming!!
For some reason I sure get a lot of happiness from our yard. I'm not sure why...I just love to mow it, water it, and then enjoy it... its that simple!
It's getting hard to type because the baby kitty has moved to my arms (like a baby) and I only have one hand now...
So, enjoy your family. Celebrate them here and now and when they are gone, think about the fun things they have ahead of them and who they will have fun with...Enjoy the simple things like a yard, a flower, a little baby kitty trusting you in your arms...Enjoy your family, no matter where they are, how furry they might be...
