All the making noises that sounded like mice (My God I hate the nasty things), proved to be Rex blundering around trying
to find me. He monitors my presence and acts bereaved every
time I leave the house. He is such a sweet devoted puppy.

We got an email from Ruth. She fell down her front steps
and had a miserable Christmas as well. She hates living
alone just like a prisoner in her mobile home. Now that
Dallas is not here, she really needs assisted living but
is too stubborn about being independent. She can spend
money now that Dallas isn't here being economical. We need
to make a trip to Wichita to see her.

My ex-SIL was here today. She has become such a bitter woman. It is true that life hasn't treated her fairly. For
one thing she was hiding behind the door when looks were
given out and resembles a possum. All the men she has ever
been involved with have been takers including Ted's brother.
Her four marriages all ended badly and she ended up being
sole support of her children. She sounds just like Rush
Limbaugh when she gets started on politics. All in All it
wasn't a happy visit.

Rex is picky about his food and now he is even tired of
chicken. We are all nuts about our animals but it worries
me when he won't eat dinner.

It is time to get ready for bed. Our weather is so dry
here that there is a lot of static electricity. A news
person was advocating running dryer sheets over your hair
and body to diminish it.

Happy Friday!
