While the cats away.........

I want a cat.
I want a big orange cat.
It's not time yet, but I'm going to get one someday.

    They always seem to be really GOOD cats, too! Go for it!

    I LOVE orange cats. I'd like to adopt one day, too. I hear they have a lot of character.

      Or "Petey"...I knew a big orange male cat named Petey and he was the best, most mellow, handsome cat I ever knew.

    Ha ha, we have a "stray" one that keeps trying to get in our house. I'd send him to you if I could! -Jenn (we call him Orange Cat)

    As the owner of the late, great Marmelade Gypsy, perfect orange boy in every way, I can say there is no greater love cat than an orange. And pretty, too. I hope you find your perfect match!

    as a person who is deathly afraid of these beasts I now know I can never visit you. :-(
    sure you don't want a dog?

Return The Kindness

My #3 child is still working abroad. She and her partner live in England somewhere near Manchester. The company she works for is an Oregon based company that provides medical and dental insurance for the citizens of this and 3 other states. When she started at this company about 6 years ago she worked with an older gent who left within the first year of her employment. They did not have a ton of interaction but they were on friendly terms. The other day, quite out of the blue, my daughter received an email from this person. They reached out, wishing her well, and letting her know how very sorry he is for how the LGBTQIA+ community is being treated by the current government. Letting her know he is on her side.  I think we are going to need to do a lot of that from this point on. For the brown skinned people in our communities, who must be living in fear, for the LGBTQIA+ community, who has no idea what is in store for them in regards to passports, bathrooms, their names, their posit...

A Journey To Home

Image
My tender hearted girl decided she wanted to foster an old lady. Selkie is 14, is nearly deaf and nearly blind, has a hard time walking and uses her bark to get her needs met.  She got her home, took her for a bath and then basically loved this old girl for three weeks until the property manager decided that it wasn’t a good match (barking too much AND because she is a pit bull).  My girl knew it was probably temporary but she gave that dog a comfortable loving home, away from the chaos of the shelter, for a short time.  Ideally, she would have walked her home but that’s not how it worked this time.  Last night she stood and ugly cried on a strangers shoulder after giving her back.  I love that girl and her sweet heart.  I wish Selkie a new final home full of love.

It's OK Not To Know

The melancholy that has settled in during the holidays for the last 5 or 6 years has descended like a light mist. It’s become a bit of an old friend I suppose. I’ve decided not to fight it overly much.  My boy left for the Bay Area after a few days visit, I’ll see him in another month. How are we supposed to get used to saying goodbye?  The Joy that once filled my heart when putting up Christmas lights the day after Thanksgiving is muted & somewhat jagged. Perhaps it’s partially because of a dream put away or maybe a bit because thanksgiving wasn’t really an easy holiday this year. Don’t get me wrong the food was good and it was great to see the people I love but it was complicated. Complicated by my wrist being broken and by a relationship in transition. I’m growing… my soul is maturing, healing and part of me just wonders if I’m where I’m supposed to be. I don’t have to have the answers now, it’s OK. But I kind of wish I did. This is just today. Tomorrow will be b...
