Out and About Degrees of Separation

 Adele

She and her husband Eric often take early morning walks at the Nathan Benderson Park.  So do I, with Zion. Our paths cross once in a while.

A, E and I have developed a nice rapport.  We once had lunch together (sans chien).


I was at the Sarasota Memorial Hospital Clinic (University Parkway) this morning (at 6:30 a.m.) for a routine test.  I had an appointment so I was first in line to register,

I returned to my seat and looked across the room.  There was Adele. She scooted over and sat alongside me.  We chatted merrily.  I hadn't recognised her -  for I had never before seen her hat-less!

Eddy


City of Sarasota trash and re-cycling truck (stock photo' with a T.V. reporter when the semi-automatic system was new). 

Semi automatic is fine, but there are drawbacks.  In the olden days when Eddy  ( the finest trash collector in the world) had to get out of the truck,  he and I would exchange fist bumps or handshakes and short but important chats.

I happened to be outside this morning when Eddy and his truck was nearby.  We waved, grinned and blew kisses.  Pity we didn't have time or space to chat about his wife and (grown) daughters.

Out and about.  Adele and Eddy.  Carpe Diem with joy.

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.
