I'll have to ask Daddy what Tiger's name is. (Cats and Bacon)

 That's the family lore about the time our next door neighbour "Auntie Elsie" asked me the name of our beautiful cat.

Those were the days  (1950's) when cats were fed with table scraps, and we put down milk for them to drink.

Our family grew and the scraps diminished.  Tiger found himself a new home just up the road.

All this is to say that although I am a dog person  (did you know that?) I have nothing against cats.

Which is just as well because cats dominate Facebook alongside Bacon.

Ah bacon! Our  local Indy Supermarket chain "Detwilers"  sells it by the slice. 

How very old fashioned. Just about every other week I buy five slices. Only five lest I become addicted. 

The sum is that cats and bacon  have their very good place but only in moderation! (Here I need an emoticon for tongue in cheek).

I find it impossible to be moderate about Geier's German Ham, and Mama G's bread.



                       Five slices. I am a wimpy bacon addict.

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.
