Sunday May 3rd~

Just watching my cat can make me happy...

 Every morning Sniff has this little routine.  He waits

 for foodies on his mat.  Depending on the time I will give 

it to him.  Then he goes for his water.  He really loves his

water, and for that we are happy.  Afterwards, he grooms 

himself and then meows loudly for me to brush him. 

 Everyday the same thing.  How I love my Sniff.

Yesterday I did a few things I enjoyed. Even

 bought myself a couple of things from the mall.

 After walking the mall for quite some time I 

decided to just have lunch at home, and to take a

 little outing downtown in the late afternoon.  

As always downtown never disappoints.

Once again Legacy was not there in the afternoon. 

 We had some tornado like weather.  The wind was 

so crazy everything was just blowing away.  This 

lasted less than an hour, but the skies remained

 very dark and stormy for the rest of the evening.

This morning the skies are still dark, but

 there is no wind as of now.  May take a walk to

 Legacy in an hour or so and hopefully she and 

Newbie will be there waiting for foodies.

Arvid calls me often when he's away.  He outlines

 his day (very cute) and what he plans to do.  After 

he had lunch he called and told me that as soon as 

he walked into the restaurant, the owner asked,

 "where is your wife?"  When he called before

 bedtime, I was watching TV with Sniff.  

Sniff usually gets very upset when we talk to

 someone on speaker phone.  Especially on 

Facetime when we talk to the girls or to Arvid's

 brother.  If he hears another voice he/Sniff will

 not stop meowing.  When we talk to each other 

Sniff is all relaxed and continues his nap.  When

 Arvid called last night, he talked to Sniff and 

like all our pets, Sniff just kept looking for him.

Yesterday a cousin of mine in New York died.  

She just turned 19 years old. CANCER seems to 

be "taking" too many of my relatives. Just 2 months 

ago another cousin, same family died of CANCER

 also in New York.  How does one family deal 

with so much heartbreak?  She was just a baby.

Today I go to mom and dad's for dinner. 

 Looking forward very much to that.  Wishing 

everyone a happy day and may you always

 find it in your heart to be kind to others.

Goodbyes hurt the most when 

the story was not finished...
