Mornin' Cuzzies, Lovely, peaceful, very still morning.....daylight....sun's rays haven't cascaded into our forest back here. Fluff Cat is snoozing on the deck, all happy and comfy. Cute little cat. Someone has been very, very ugly to him. ) : Ah told you Ah crashed into a chest in the middle of the night.....still sore. Can't laugh, sneeze, cough....hurts a lot when I do. And, last night when I was eating dinner, I felt like I had the mumps on one side.....now, that would be a trip, wouldn't it! Ah tell you.....it's just hell to get older, at any age! I am grateful I'm not banging around Portugal like the sisters-in-law *still* are. Big travel is just not my thing.....they looooove to go! They'll be home soon. Houston has a brand new baby elephant and all the little children flocked to the zoo for a look see. She's as curious to see them as they are her. All the little ones so cute eyeing one another! Front page of the newspaper always has a picture of a funeral....been running on a daily basis. We've lost a basketball star, a soldier, a policeman, and another soldier....one day after the next. Speaking of talented young men....the Astros are still on a losing streak. ) : Our new multi-million dollar stadium is half-full. And, when I last checked, the oiyle is still pouring out where it shouldn't be, and the retired petroleum engineer around here, Ole Buckley, is still stomping around the house grumbling abt. it all. And, yeah, agitating abt. the younger generation bleeding these wells too fast for faster money and greed, losing the suction in them so they produce abt. half of what they are capable of.....but, he's been agitating abt. that for a number of years. Just a different breed of cat runs our world now.....and ye gods! We raised them! o : Y'all have a good one! ( : Buckette
