Cat emergency at Karen's house

Dear readers,


Yesterday would have been somewhat uneventful, except I received a frantic call from my friend Karen. Seems she is doing some remodeling in her bathroom and the floor was rotted out in a small section. Marley (the cat) fell in the hole. Gary thinks she just went down there to look around. Anyway, I went over to help her....considering that I dislike cats this was a big favor. She was down on her hands and knees with a flashlight trying to coax Marley out of the hole. She was talking to that cat like it was her child....."Mommy's not mad at you, please come out" Hmmmm my only suggestion was...go and get her favorite treats and then she may come out. What do you know the cat hater solved the problem!!!!


Last night I watched 3 episodes of Clatterford BBC video. A birthday gift from Chris. It took me a little while to catch on to the accent, but then I really got into the story. It is nice to start at the beginning and know what is going on. I think it is a bunch of old biddies that belong to a church club and the Vicar is very funny. He would be funnier if he had to deal with Hyainth (sp). Anyway, I couldn't help noticing the difference between (I can't believe I had to sound that word out) Back to the video....in our sitcoms you wouldn't see anyone in torn clothes and pulling people around in wagons hooked up to J.D. tractors. One of the ladies has 2 personalities and one is looney as a looney bird with her false teeth falling out!!! I can't wait to get back to the grieving widow who now has her daughter and grandson (who happens to be black) living with her. Hmmmmm that has not been explained yet.


Gary has a Dr. appt. this p.m. and I am hoping that he will stop at Home Depot and get some things that need to be done around here. I am pouting about my porch, he keeps leading me on and then OOPs! Sorry....Oh well, I have everything I need and "it is was it is".


I am sooo looking forward to my birthday week! It starts with Sun. going to my favorite restaurant (the Cellar). and everyday is a celebration with the end very special with lunch with my 2 granddaughters on Sat. I am blessed to have a wonderful family and great friends.


Later Gator
