January 20th ~

Life imposes things on you that you 

can’t control, but you still have the choice

 of how you’re going to live through this...

Not much to talk about.  Have been missing
 the sunshine and the palm trees 🌴.

Suddenly I get a Snap from Michael in Norway. 
 Boy did it break my heart.  I debated so much before 

showing it to Arvid, not because I didn't want to but 

because seeing his mom this way it not easy 😢

Molly, one of the most resilient women I have 

come across in my lifetime, and for me it was not 

easy to see her this way either.  Yes we must all die 

one day, but it sure is hard on those left behind.

Icy roads today.  Another day of going NOWHERE!

 Sure miss the sunshine, and my mornings in Puerto Rico 

with "my" kitties.  Seems like such a long time ago.

Wishing everyone a good day.  Stay clear from the ice 

on the roads.  Puerto Rico, Florida, no such things 

as icy roads.  What were we thinking of?

Sniff takes no chances.  He will be warm no matter what.

Life is never easy. There is work to

 be done and obligations to be met...

January 12th ~

 Some days I wish I can go back in life.  Not to

 change anything, but to feel a few things twice. 

 And if I could change something, why not?...

Yesterday I interviewed two potential pet sitters. 

Sniff as usual met them by the door. Sniff is just too

 friendly.  IF he had a “fault” that would be it 🙈.

Both were very nice, but when he met the second girl

 he hissed at her.  Not violently, just a little stay away from

 me hiss she said she had the smell of another cat on her. 

Sniff never hisses. The first time he hissed was at our

 granddaughter Aleah 😢.  It was not a pleasant scene. To this 

day neither Arvid nor I ever figured out what went wrong.

Little Aleah was so scared. We have no clue as to why 

Sniff was this way toward her.  She never did anything to him. 

 All she wanted to do was pet him.  It was strange. He just kept

 hissing and hissing like I have never seen before.

Much warmer day today.  The birds are everywhere.

  We saw "our deer" yesterday and we even saw the orange

 tabby again.  I will name his Rusty.  he just sits on the

 log for hours.  He comes out when the sun is out.

The birds are out in full swing.  Arvid will be 

making me a bird feeder for them.  I'm so happy.

Everyday is different, and some days are better than others,

 but no matter how challenging the day, I get up and live it...
