It's a Sunday in October

                   

           I didn't realize that this background  wouldn't be seam-
           less but that's ok.  I think it is supposed to be a graphic
           of a very old brick wall.

           I had all that I was going to write in my head but now
           that I am sitting here my mind is blank.  Of course it
           isn't unusual for me to have a blank mind (LOL).

          
Tomorrow would have been my Aunt E's 76th birth-
day.  I have never understood why people put flowers
on graves, but for some reason or another I feel that
I should put some there this time.  I feel that since she
                never married or had children, and little if any friends,
              that with her dying it is almost like she never was.  There
              is no one to remember her.  No one to keep her memory
              alive.  Maybe I feel that way because I am single with
              no kids.  Years ago I told my mom that I never wanted
              to end up like Aunt E, and here I feel like that is what
             I am becoming.

              My youngest niece will turn 18 this week.  Hard to
              believe she will be that old.  With her birthday comes
              an insurance check from when she was in a car accident
              a few years back.  It isn't much money really but her
             parents have decided that instead of putting it in a
            savings account for her they are going to spend it.  They
            want to take a vacation and just drive around the USA.
            I can almost promise you that by the time they are ready
            to come home that they will be broke.  And probably
            won't have the money to get back to NC with.  Oh well,
            not my problem.

            My dad came over last night.  As soon as he walked in the
            door he said my house stunk.  Great.  What does it smell
            like dad?  Cat.  I have had cats almost from the time I
            moved out from home.  2 cats.  And my place has never
            had an oder.  I tried to get dad to help me pin down the
            smell or what room but he just said he couldn't.  He did
            agree that he had never been in my house when it had an
            oder.  That's good.  Would hate to think I have had cats
            all these years and something stank and no one told me!

           Have I ever told the story of Elmer?  The cat that I 
           picked up in front of a diner a few years back?  I didn't
           have him but a couple of weeks when I had to put him
           down.  I should dig out pictures of him for you to see.

           Guess that's all for today.

           

           PS Because ever email I get from Rocketman has the this
           I feel I must share it yet again with you guys.Why should
           I be the only one to feel the heat?  LOL
