A heavenly birtday

 The only thing I have to offer today is I am still under the weather, but may be learning what might help. So what to write about???

Well, this is my mother's birthday, she died some years back at 85, fortunately in her own bed. She had felt il, refused going to a doctor, but never woke up the next morning. We think congestive heart failure. It was never diagnosed, due to her dislike of doctors. She visited them only long enough to keep her high blood pressure prescription, never had a physical, that I know of.

Mom and her sisters led interesting lives, from farmland as children to traveling the country and other countries as professional musicians in all girl orchestras, etc. 

Then they married and Mom returned to farm living where I grew up.

Since I have not been well, this will be short.  The following is a photo of my mom in her professional years.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Mom. Since I do not know, as some do, all of what might happen on the other side, I can just stick to hoping I see her again someday.

 

 

another week, another...

 I say this almost never-- no new post. I hope there will be one next week, but the way things are going, I don't know. Disappointing for me if not readers but I am simply not up to it. Not only do I not feel well on assorted fronts, but our beloved cat is dying slowly of a cancer the veterinarian, two of them, says cannot be cured. We just have to wait until she seems so miserable that we have the person come, who gently puts her down. I have cried so much that I just have to try to not think about it.

Crying leads to blurry reading. I don't think I've cried this much in years. So sorry for the downer, but between that and my own health issues, I got nothin' else. 

Trying to find one of our own photos, yesterday, I took one of me. I smiled for it. I didn't feel the smile not sure if it shows.

Oh, and hoping I, at least, feel physically better next week. I want to write about the medical system. Let's just say, it won't be an upper either.

 

 

 

what else can go wrong?

This has been a terrible week for me on more than one issue, due to being sick, having to cancel a doctor's appointment. and then what did this computer do but screw up everything. I won't go into details but for now at least I can write something and maybe it'll show up on the week-end, but with it that goofed up, who knows. Hope your week has been better.

The first photo is one of our denizens here, not poisonous. The cats like it... to kill, of course, as if they eat them, it leads to stomach upset. We also have a lot of bunnies, packrats, rats and mice, but could not easily find their photos while I've been sick.

Just remember, in nature all is prey or predator to keep their world alive. Only a few vegetarians and most of them are in the prey category.

And here come more-- those all, who live here, and know better than we
