WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?

1. It's hot beyond belief. Sixteen days of 100 degree heat or more so far this summer; the guy who mows my lawn called this afternoon to say he wasn't coming this week unless I wanted him to do so because due to the lack of rain he didn't think I'd need him. I don't.

2. Jaz and I are planning a yard sale this coming weekend beginning at 7:00 a.m. until the heat drives us inside. We have so much to unload, and I'm dreading just getting ready much less being outside for five or six hrs. each day for two days for the sale. Keep your fingers crossed for us; we have a really good location at their house so maybe it will really go well.

3. For ten days I have been dosing Delilah, my 17 yr. old cat, with an antibiotic and a vitamin-mineral tonic. I took her to the vet on Aug. 7, and he found her dehydrated and with severe weight loss. I won't burden you with the other symptoms I knew about. At this point I'm not optimistic as her appetite has diminished even more than what it was a few days ago. I'm very afraid her days are numbered, and it's very hard to live with that thought right now. Others have not found her to be a friendly cat, but she has been my dear companion for a very long time.

4. Did my display for Rally Day at St. Mark's this past Sunday. Mine was for Trinity Institute which comes up in Jan., 2011. Didn't have a lot of "stuff", but I thought it was pretty classy and looked like the adult enterprise it is. Here's a picture.





Keep cool, everybody, but keep on keeping' on.
