Book Club
I may have mentioned this before, but I joined my sister’s book club last November. At the time I was being nurse to a senior cat who was suffering from liver failure. The books were a distraction for both of us. All he wanted to do was sit on the back patio and someone had to be with him. Elvis enjoyed the November book: The Dutch House by Ann Patchett, read by Tom Hanks, and I did too. Today is National Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day and I’ll always remember the sweet kitty who enjoyed sitting outside and listening to that first book club book and with me.
Book Club gets together monthly to talk about the book of the month and have some sort of refreshments that are reminiscent of that month’s story. This past Sunday we gathered to talk about Cold Sassy Tree and eat fried chicken, biscuits, dumplings, peach cobbler, and other southern delicacies. The only down side to the meeting was that attendance was low: Mema, Emily, and Sydney were absent, as well as Chynna who is currently in Costa Rica. Nevertheless, it was a good and fun meeting.

Emily and Rich asked if I could watch Zeke on Monday…

Adventures in Babysitting
Pictured above is Zeke, wearing a swimsuit that I bought for Rory several years ago. It was all that I had because his suit was at home in the washer. Prior to this photo, Glammy and Zeke washed the giant white swan (Fergus) with a bucketful of suds because he was covered in mildew and dirt from ongoing rainy summer days. Zeke loved this job and I was happy to let him join in.

Movies
that I watched this past month.
I’m not going to take the time to thoroughly review each one, but I will say whether or not I recommend.
Greenland
Yes. But No to Greenland 2.
The Long Walk
No. Gross.
Jungle
No. Why put yourself through this?
Powder
No. Too sad.
The Substance
No. A resounding No.
Weapons
Yes. Story is good, although big-time gore.
The Hunt
Yes. She kicks @$$ and rightfully so.

I finally bit the bullet and made it to my annual doctor appointment. I’d put it off for many reasons: vital statistics that I’d rather keep to myself, fasting for blood work, and invasiveness to name a few. LB drove me and waited in the waiting room as he does every year. Afterward, he took me to the Town Center and then out to dinner.

The Anniversary
Although my Daddy has gone, he has remained the love of Mama’s life.
Today would have been their 61st anniversary.
