LIFE IS JUST A BOWL OF FRUIT SALAD.

I HAVEN'T BLOGGED IN 6 MONTHS, SO I DECIDED TO BORE MYSELF AND REMIND MYSELF WHAT I'M DOING THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. WE BACKED OUT OF BUILDING THE TOWNHOUSE BECAUSE THE BUILDER'S CONTRACT WAS SO LOPSIDED AND WE NEEDED TO MAKE 30 CHANGES. IN ADDITION, AFTER 1 YEAR, THEY ONLY PRE-SOLD 2 OUT OF 180. NOT A GOOD SIGN. SO WE CONTINUE TO BE "HOMELESS". AFTER KEEPING OUR SICK CAT ALIVE FOR SIX EXTRA MONTHS, HE LOST THE BATTLE TO KIDNEY DISEASE, AND WE PUT HIM TO SLEEP AT THE AGE OF 5. THREE WEEKS AGO. AFTER A LONG WALK, MY WIFE CAME HOME WITH A WILD IDEA. AFTER TRAVELING WITH A CAT FOR 17 YEARS (WE ALSO HAD ANOTHER FOR 12 YEARS), SHE DECIDED WE SHOULD JUST PACK THE CAR AND GO ON A WANDERING TRIP TO AN AREA WE HAVEN'T YET SEEN. SO ON OCT. 5, WE WILL BE DRIVING TO NEW MEXICO, UP THROUGH COLORADO AND BACK HOME. SHOULD TAKE US ABOUT THREE WEEKS. WHEN I SAY WE WILL BE DRIVING, I SHOULD CLARIFY THAT I WILL BE DRIVING AND MY WIFE WILL BE SIGHT-SEEING.

 

THEN IT'S BACK HOME FOR THANKSGIVING AND MY DAUGHTER'S 40TH BIRTHDAY. PACK UP AGAIN FOR OUR ANNUAL TREK TO FLORIDA TO ANNOY OUR SON. GOTTA STAY ACTIVE.

 

LET ME JUST SAY ONE OTHER THING. STEVE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PLEA FOR FUNDS TO KEEP THIS WONDERFUL NETWORK

GOING. WE SHOULD GLADLY SEND IN SOMETHING-WHATEVER IS AFFORDABLE. THERE ARE OVER 6000 MEMBERS AND IF EVERYONE DONATED $2.00/YEAR, THERE WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. 'NUFF SAID.

Marty, didn't you mean to say you would be driving and your wife would be shopping at all the interesting places you're driving therough?

 

I'm sorry about your kitty cat; too young to leave you. Perhaps after you do settle down after Florida, you will give a home to another cat in need of good parents. We have some lovely cats in Florida. Of course they meow with a southern accent. :big_grin: It's meow y'all.

I for one missed your funny blogs and when do we stop annoying our kids mine is 10 & he thinks same about me so I don't feel lonely now. I am sure you are going to have wonderful sightseeing/driving/shopping trip. love your idea of fundraising just donate us $2 or we won't allow you to login.

Marty,

 

Sorry to hear about your kitty - that is so young. But like us, there is no age attached to being struck down or rather struck upon. I hope you guys have a great trip. Enjoy all the shopping and sight-seeing.

 

I wholeheartedly agree with you about donating to this wonderful site to keep it up and operational. Even on extremely fixed incomes, it's possible to manage something. Heck, I squeeze Lincoln so hard he screams for mercy, yet I was able to help out.

 

As to annoying one's children - heck that was favorite hobby pre, now it's my JOB :big_grin:
