I have neglected posting very much lately. Still dealing with hubbys health issues. The most recent was being hospitalized and then sent to a rehab hospital because he could not walk. While there he developed a blood clot in his leg which required another regular hospital stay to have an IVC filter put in. He can't take the anticoagulant drugs so the filter was the only option. He goes back to rehab today. I am still harvesting from the garden even though we had the tropical storm move through. My pole beans are just hitting their stride in production. Trying to find time to freeze all my tomatoes. I have a sink full now waiting to be washed. My poor cats are all in various states of being shaved down since I don't have time to keep them groomed. I just grab one and shave a little when I have time. They are comical looking but I would be horrified if my breeder friends saw them now - they have only seen them perfectly show groomed. That is the problem with having Persians. I was supposed to be cat sitting for a friend of mine this weekend who has a brand new litter. When Bill went back in the hospital I told her I thought it would be best not to - I am not home enough right now to keep an eye on the new kittens and Mom. I usually am at the hospital at least 4 hours a day. This site and a couple of gardening sites are my escape. I should be doing something now instead of being on the computer, but I don't care. I love all the Then and Now photos everyone posted for this months contest - everyone is a winner.
