Or better late than never.
I am posting a few pictures from our family reunion. Enjoy!

I have a feeling I will be at my sister’s house this Christmas. She called and said that mom is now under hospice care twice a week, although she can call for help at any time. Mom is living on liquids because her Parkinsons has made it difficult for her to swallow. She doesn’t acknowledge anyone and appears to not know the TV is there until a baby appears and then she smiles.
Michelle is in a lot of pain still. We are playing a waiting game to see if the hormones will work, but the doctor says it is not too promising.
I’ll have a new washer today for Christmas (old one broke) and I’ll let you know how the front loaders perform.

Cat Haiku
You never feed me.
Perhaps I’ll sleep on your face.
And that will show you.
You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail! Behold,
Elevator butt.
I need a new toy.
Tail of a black dog keeps good time.
Pounce! Good dog! Good dog!
The rule for today.
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.
In deep sleep hear sound
Cat vomit hairball somewhere.
Will find in morning.
Grace personified:
I leap into the window
I meant to do that.
The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds
Your foot just squashed one.
You’re always typing
Well, let’s see you ignore me
Sitting on your hands.
Terrible battle
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What’s a term paper?
Cat Haiku II
- Wanna go outside.
- Oh, no! Help! I got outside!
- Let me back in!
Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitos
Fear vacuum cleaner
Want to trim my claws?
Don’t even think about it!
My yelps wake the dead.
I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?
Oh no! My Big One
has been trapped by newspaper.
Cat to the rescue.
Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams!
My claws aren’t that sharp.
Cats meow out of angst
“Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much.”
Litter box not here
You moved it on me again
I’ll crap in the sink.
We’re almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?

Shelly went to the emergency room because she was having trouble breathing. They were going to treat the breathing problem and send her home. Pulse ox was 81. Then she told them she has been sick for a long time, along with the “we don’t know if it is cancer” fluid in her stomach.
They say it is pneumonia and then they called in a gynecologist to check out the fluid. She suspects Shelly has an infection, internal bleeding, or that nasty “c” word. They are admitting her for the night and in the morning she will undergo a laparoscopy surgery and they can go in and look.
That is all we know right now.
