New Pal

This is my new pal. [Not the grandson, although he and I spend quality time together]. CC is short for Crazy Cat, or Curious Cat. Today I was thinking she should be JD for Juvenile Delinquent. She would not let me sleep. She kept tearing around on the bed.. and biting my nose. What a brat! Her mother's name is 'Noodles'. Named thus by my granddaughter when a couple of years ago when she was 4. Noodles is all black; but a Siamese was seen skulking around their house.

It was time to say good-bye to my pal Sassy. She was full of cancer and could barely walk due to the loss of the muscles in her back legs. This is the last picture taken of her. She looks so sad. I think she was in a lot of pain. It was a sad time for the family. My grandson who is a Senior in high school used to practice his wrestling moves on her when he was a little tyke. They would go round and round. Sassy knew if someone wasn't feeling well; she would sit by you and not leave your side. A friend of my son's came over while she was very pregnant and Sassy went to her and did not leave her side while she was visiting their home. The baby was born that night. Such a smart dog and so aware of people's feelings. Sassy loved to play with other dogs and played according to their size. She liked cats and slept side by side with them. She was a good friend to the family. We all miss her something fierce.

Not a joke

You know the saying about March? "In like a lion, out like a lamb? Well it isn't always true. These pictures were taken on March 29, 2007. I have to say it was fairly warm on the 30th and the snow was starting to melt. There is still snow on the ground although the snow melted off the driveway. You can see we got about 5 0r 6 inches. Had to did out my snow boots to wade to work.

I took the middle picture at the park. They are all dark because it was so overcast and snowing yet on the morning of the 29th.

Saturday night was the high school prom. Parents, grandparents,

and friends are allowed to come watch the 'grand march'. Since I have a grandson who is a Senior, I planned on attending. The

event started at 8:00 PM so I figured if I left at 7:30 I could get

there at 7:40 and be early. My youngest son called at 7:30 and

said I better get there; they were saving me a seat. They arrived at 7:00 and still had to sit in the nosebleed section. The prom participants looked so elegant in their tuxes and formals. Of course some of the girls wore flip flops and some of the guys wore tennis shoes. Brother! When they entered they walked around an Eiffel Tower. Very elegant decorations. I wonder what happens to

the decorations when the prom is over.
