I haven't written for so long that I am feeling guilty. But what to write about. Politics? I can't wait for this election to be over. The phone calls and surveys are never ending. I should go vote early just to stop them. The only ones we don't get are the ones for Obama or Romney. The pressure is really on Colorado and Ohio now.
My 14 year old cat has kidney disease and high blood pressure. He is getting meds for the blood pressure and to keep him from tossing his cookies and to increase his appetite. I am giving him subcutaneous fluids every day. It takes two of us, one to hold him still and one to give the injection. I am the injector. My daughter or older grandson are the holders. Enough said about that.
The colors of the turning leaves this year are the most beautiful that I can remember. Too bad it took a drought and a heat wave to get them. And now they are falling too soon. Two days of raking so far with more to follow. Young grandson loves to rake and, truth to tell, I am enjoying it too.
Younger grandson has started playing the viola. Shades of the past-he hates to practice. Is there a kid anywhere who likes to practice? I said that when I was learning the piano and daughter said it when she was learning piano, then viola, then clarinet.
