Kitties on the walk

The kitties that come to greet Gene & me when we walk in our neighborhood give me a warm feeling similar to coming home & being greeted by beloved felines. I’m very aware that’s one of the things I miss since we don’t have a cat. I’m grateful for the Nala, Lucy Lou & Fluffy on our walk!!

Unrelated: I’m surprised I didn’t write anything about the deadly tornado that devastated areas south of Valley View on May 25, coming perilously close to where my niece & her family sheltered in a bathroom (or closet). I may be in a phase where it’s not my role to write about such things. I guess time will tell. 

Memorable or notable

Mother’s Day was memorable, so maybe that’s why I didn’t document it. Here’s a belated place holder. 

Time to share

I coulda shoulda written about our Branson trip. Instead, I’m just making a belated note, so maybe I’ll come back & write about it later. 

May be …

Step by step in April

There was much to be grateful for in April. 

I am grateful. 

Bucket list anthem!

It’s amazing I’m not posting about this until two days later. I finally got up the courage to volunteer to sing the Star-Spangled Banner at the Bassmaster Rlite Series takeoff on the St. Johns River at Palatka Riverfront in Florida! 

I sang it again Saturday (getting the OK at the very last minute, as the invocation was being given!), but was grateful to sleep in today (Sunday)! 

I’m grateful to friends old & new strangers for all the encouraging words. I always sing along with The Anthem anyway, but it still took more courage than I expected to volunteer & then be the one singing on the microphone in front of everyone!

I may add more to this later. 

What a waste!

(This was a draft file April 2 so I could write about Walmart delivery fail on that resulted in 6 or 7 bags of groceries, many of them perishable, left at our front door. I didn’t get back to it until now, so it shows up on April 17. I also see now that this could have been part of my April Fool’s post, as April 1 is likely the day the delivery happened!))
