Our old friend

Spike has been an important part of our family for 18 years and this weekend we have had to say good-bye to him....I remember the day that we brought him home from the Grandparents house (along with his sister Tinkerbell) Spike was Matt's kitten and Tinkerbell was Melissa's. They were adorable kitties. Tinkerbell was cross-eyed with beautiful long hair. Spike was short haired & large! When people saw him, they were amazed at how muscular he was, how large his feet were! He was always wandering around the yard looking for birds to catch or cats that didn't belong in his yard. His ears were a testament to his fighting days. I don't think he lost many fights in his youth.
I looked up the average life span of a cat on google today and it seems (through a very complicated method) that Spike was 78 years old which is unheard of for a cat that has lived outside a good part of his life.
It's hard to lose a friend who has been so loyal and giving. He gave us love and entertainment for every day of his life. It was very hard to call Matt to tell him that Spike was gone. I have not turned the light out of his bedroom yet.
Good Bye Old Friend.

Oops!

Here is picture missing from last post!!!

A happy face!

So many people I know are having a tough time right now. So on this gloomy Monday morning. Here is something to help us all have a little smile! I found this guy at Rite Aid & just knew he needed to come home with me & what his hair needed to look like!!! I love how he looks! Hope he makes you smile!
Now he needs a cute name...suggestions???

On our way to the June primary election

So last Friday was the day that Les went to the County Clerks office to sign his final papers & pay the fee to be on the ballet.
His appointment was at 10am & he signed & signed & signed ! Many things were questions that he had to repeat over & over. Like what party are you registered with..maybe they were hoping to trick him into jumping party!! Who knows?!!!
So, now it will be more of the same as before but more of it! Does that make sense? You know...more funds needed
More people needed, signs ordered, more speeches, fundraisers, letters phone calls, emails , walking door to door, meetings, research , ... Whew it will be exciting tiring, scarry, you name it! But we know that if God wants him to be a part of the California State Senate he will be there .

It's Spring...isn't it???

Spring is such a great time...some years! I love sunny spring, not rainy spring! Yes I know....we NEED rain, we need water in the lake, BUT I LOVE sunshine & warm!!!! Here are a few pics of the SPRING outside my living room window!

Funny!!!

I went to lunch with my friends from church...our monthly lunch bunch! We went to a favorite restaurant in Anderson Clarizio's. They have an entertaining menu. I took a picture of one of the entries!!!

Record breaking 😢

This not the way we want the record for gas prices to be broken. Let's have a record LOW price for once. My gas tank is over 30 gallons...I have to fill up before empty or else I can't fill the tank at the pump... We aren't supposed to see an end in the daily increases before the end of April...could get very ugly for those of us who don't have the luxury of mass transit that works!
Oh well, we will keep on keeping on won't we...
