I haven't been there in a long time. The prices have gone up tremendously. After we ate we went to Carol's house and visited for about an hour before I went home.
My other friend, Carol N. was in the hospital yesterday recovering from surgery. She fell on Monday and broke her ankle in three places. She was transferred to a rehab facility last night. We are going to try to go see her today.
Snowy is a little bit better, but still not well. Still not eating or using her litter box. I got her to eat about 6 or 8 treats and that's the first she's had in a week. I'm worried about her.
And to top it off, Joe's ex-wife (my step-son's mother) passed away in her sleep last night. I read it on facebook and couldn't believe it. Joe called D.J. right away. We will find out the funeral arrangements tonight and then Joe and I are heading to Tennessee for the funeral. We were going to go down this spring so I could meet Abbey and now I will never have the chance this side of heaven. I'm so glad I talked with her on the phone and emailed her and got to know this sweet lady. I will miss her. I've been crying all morning and Joe is taking it really hard too.
Life is never easy and things happen so unexpectedly. I will never forget to say "I love you" to those I love. We never know when our last moment will be.
I wanted to post another Friday Photo. When I took Joe to the doctor's the other day I took a shot of the pretty waiting room.
Their floral arrangement was very pretty and unusual.
And I've never seen a plant like this. At first I thought it was a calla lily, but then realized it was just the same leaves as the green ones, but they were white. I wonder what it is.
I have to go and get something to eat. Then I need to start to clean up the house. We have to get someone in to keep an eye on Snowy while we are gone and the place is a mess. I'll be checking in later and let you know what is going on.

So sorry. Poor kitty. I know there is formal name for the plant but it is a peace lily.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss, and give Joe and D.J. my sympathy. You know, from your description, and think you and Abbey were already friends, and I know she was blessed by your regard and love for her child---we always have an affinity for folks who love the folks WE love.
ReplyDeleteI pray you both Traveling Grace for the journey, and sweet memories for the future.

I did have a high regard for Abbey. She was a wonderful, loving woman. I will miss her cheery good mornings on facebook each day. Thanks for your sympathy. It is a hard time for us.
DeleteMy sympathy and prayers go out to you, Joe and DJ. Have a safe trip to TN. Thankful you had a good relationship with Abbey. May she rest in peace and always thankful when our loved ones knew the Lord. A bit easier to know where they are. Hugs! God bless you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Becky. We are still up in the air when to go and how to get there. It will be either train or plane. I hate flying.
DeleteYou are such a caring person!!
ReplyDeleteFrom friends, family to sweet little pets. Big heart!
Drive safely and keep intouch.
It will take too long to drive. We will take either the train or fly. Such a sad way to get to meet everyone.
DeleteKathy, I am so sorry to read about your step son's mom. Glad you are there for the Joe and his son. Prayers for your friend to heal quickly. It was nice that you and your other friend Carol, could have lunch together. Please take care of yourself and Joe. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susie. It's a nightmare trying to get a flight to get to Memphis.
DeletePrayers & sympathy for you,Joe & DJ. It's a blessing you got to know her. My prayers for Snowy as well. I can't imagine trying to book a flight last minute.I too like the plant...and the name 'Peace' plant.
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying. woof!
It has been a nightmare trying g to get a flight. We don't have over $2000 for tickets. Working on getting a cheaper flight. It's hard when it's the last minute.
DeleteYour plant is a peace lily. Kind regards
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteBe safe and I will pray for you and your cat.
