At the End of the Year. There Are Not Enough Superlatives to Describe a Truly Mind Blowing Experience at Total Wine

 



So there I was to buy a couple of bottles of wine for the New Year. I have a liking for German Red Wines. They are not available everywhere.



It was when I got to the head of the line that I realised that I'd left my bill fold/wallet at home.

I apologised to Erika the Clerk/Cashier  and explained that I couldn't buy the wine (and why).

Erika responded "I'll buy them for you".  I protested. She resisted,  I suggested "only one bottle".  Not a chance,  Erika was firm.  She called a manager to verify a staff purchase.

There are no superlatives to describe this burst of light in an often dark world.  Gratitude is the only word. I get goosebumps as I think about it.

At my request the Manager directed me to a Total Wine website at which I could describe my experience. You can bet your life that I rushed to the site as soon as I got home.

My plan was to go to Trader Joe's on New Year's Day to buy a nice plant for Erika.  

I can't. More Kudos to Total Wine. They do not open on the holiday so that their staff can celebrate it with glee or rest, whichever is their preference.

Ah well, there is always Tuesday!

In a State of Shock. From 8:00 - 2:00 today

  Please no 'phone calls.  PLEASE!  (but this news is not private) At 8:00 this morning I took Zion to a local  Veterinarian for a scan of a mass on his jaw. By 12:30 the Vet phoned me with this shocking and unexpected news.  (see below)   How odd that a scan for a lesser issue should reveal the bad news.   I think that the scan was providential. I could have taken him home for what would have been his last two to three possible miserable days but I  decided to say goodbye to Zion there and then.  I stayed with him to the end at 2:00 p.m. I am in shock.  I am grateful for six fantastic years together.  I rejoice that he brought joy to so many people. His remains will be returned to me to be buried near my home, with a flowering shrub planted over them. Thanks for your care John Michael Povey Hello Michael,   I will show you the images when you arrive but essentially what we see on the CT is that he has multiple masses on his spleen and several in his lungs, additionally he has flui

Utterly Wonderful

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.
