St Patrick's Day 2006

                                      


        Hello everyone.  I have been meaning to make an entry,
      but if it wasn't one thing it was another.  Like yesterday.
      I got a letter in the mail from animal control.  They finally
      got around to sending me the license for Sadie (I sent the
      check to pay for it in LAST April) but now they wanted
      proof that she had her rabies shots up to date.  This really
      put me in a mood because you know that I had to put Sadie
      to sleep in January this year.  Talk about timing! 

      So I have to go the vets to get an "offical" note that Sadie
      is no longer with us.  I could have just mailed in proof 
      that she had had her rabies shot but we were afraid that
      I may get more mail about her later down the line so it
      was easier to take care of it now.

      Licensing of cats just started last year, it's been around
      for dogs forever (or so it seems).  If you have your pet
      spayed or neutered it's a $5 fee, if they aren't then it's
      $25 per animal.  The county says this is to help cut down
      on unwanted cats and dogs.

            
Here is bit of the green for St Patrick's day.  I
am not into the whole "wearing of the green".  And
green beer sounds really nasty to me!!!

         Not much to share.  My dad's MRI came back ok.  No
         tumors but the blood vessels behind his right eye are
        "clogged".  The blood thinner he is already taking should
        clear it up but the doctor is sending him to an eye special-
        ist at the hospital.

         My aunt had her neck surgery yesterday and it seems
         that all went well.  She had 90% blockage in the artery
        in her neck.  So glad that has been taken care of.

        Here's another little graphic that has some green in it.
        It kinda goes with the background.  I'm
         not sure that this background is good for
        journaling.  Can you read this ok?

        My dad and his friends have been working
        on Aunt E's house so we can get it on the
        market.  They have almost finished painting the inside,
        but we are going to have to hire someone to paint the
        outside.  I get a headache just thinking of how much that
        is going to cost!  I want to hurry to get the house up for
        sale.  Aunt E died last June and it has taken us a while
        to get rid of her things and all.   I guess we are doing
        pretty good time wise for clearing up everything.  It
        still feels weird to go to that house.  It is so strange to
       think she is really dead.  I don't know how to explain it.

        That's all for now.  Take care.
