No church today—Mamaw is still sick! Well, Poppy too but he goes to work anyhow. I’m just on pins and needles all day till he gets back home with us. He told Mamaw he was going to Mass at 4:30 and she could join him there but she said she was gonna pass…he’ll take our food pantry sack with him—Mamaw will rest. She’s got a great big newspaper to read and sometimes she likes to just hibernate all by herself…ya know—TO THINK ABOUT THINGS. She’s got so many irons in the fire she doesn’t know what to do. I’m thinking though that she’s gonna figure it out one project at a time…WAY TO GO MAMAW!
She is supposed to drive to Ankeny to meet up with her JIGS group and she isn’t even goin to do that! And she loves that…getting together with her old classmates (and I do mean OLD).
Lindsey is goin to see our own Dr. Blume today, THAT'S MY POPPY, and he called to ask John to come in too! Yesterday it was so hectic Poppy thought he had to rush John a little and he wants to see if he can wear contact lenses so he’s goin back today…they’re gonna work on that!
Mamaw did manage to get the bed made—I did manage to chew the nose off my squirrel that came with my “plate of food” from Pepper for Christmas. She snatched it right up and I just know she’s gonna throw it away so I gotta keep on my toes today—I mean ALL DAY.
Ozzie was outside with Miss Becky and I had a terrible time tryin to get to him! That snow was piled high and I wasn’t sure I could make it through all of that but he just looked so handsome I didn’t have a choice. I trudged through the snow…and gave him a huge kiss. Mamaw and Miss Becky just shake their heads and make the comment that nobody would believe “our love affair.” I’m satisfied now…
The cold, flu, virus whatever it is just won’t let go of my Mamaw and Poppy. And I gotta tell ya, they are a little “snippy” when they don’t feel well—EVEN TO ME! As if I’ve done anything to deserve that kind of treatment.
No cookin again…wonder how they are ever gonna get their strength back like this? Wish she’d let me in the kitchen so I could cook up something for them. I worry, don’t ya know? What would happen to me if they weren’t here for me? I’m gonna give some thought to that one…but in the meantime, I’m gonna enjoy the waterbed get-togethers and the belly rubs and the under-the-chin rubs and live each day to its fullest.
Sometime in the night I found myself in my kennel…now how DOES SHE DO THAT?
Mamaw's Important Stuff
Here I am with Dallas and Miss Becky
Me and Dallas--we are as RED as the fall leaves!
My friend Pepper...
I got allergies so Mamaw made me give Pepper all of my treats!
NEW WHEELS
Santa came to our house early and Mamaw has named her "LIL RED"
About Me
- andio
- West Des Moines, IA, United States
- Since 1982 I have wanted to write a book. But it was never possible for me to dedicate myself to writing so I pushed it aside. Permanent retirement caught up with me in March 2010. I began writing that novel and it is finished; now in its 4th editing. And during that time, I've become selfish about having it published. You see, it is a true story--MATCH.COM--and much too intimate to share with the masses. It is being held back for family and friends to enjoy at the proper time. And as previously mentioned, Miss Scarlett came into our lives at just the right time to completely enjoy her. She had a voice in this house from the very beginning and wanted to share feelings from her point of view from the beginning--I gave her that audience. Then she decided to take a break for nearly a year--she is back folks!
