So much beauty to be seen

To my dear Flickr friends,

 

As they say here in Texas, I've "been going through a rough patch."

 

Thank you all so much for your kind messages of concern. I got kind of choked up when I saw them. It means a lot to know that you cared. It feels like coming home.

 

I finally got through that "rough patch" and it seemed that not much else could go wrong for me or my family. But then, just when I thought all the bad stuff was behind me, I lost all but one of my dear feline family.

 

Poor little Luna had to be euthanized after four days in the hospital. That hit hard, very hard.

 

Three weeks later old Mister Blue died.

 

And three weeks after that, Skipper dashed out of the house -- I haven't seen him since. He's been gone three months now and I have exhausted every means I know of

to find him . . . or to find out what became of him. As awful as some of the possibilities are, nothing is worse than not knowing. Three months with a heavy heart . . .

 

My daughter came from Greece to be with me for two months. That helped a lot. She just left this week but she left things (and her mother) better than she found them.

 

And now, time to get busy catching up with your wonderful photos!

Done
