One last farewell before John and I leave for the airport. Worked very hard this week shipping boxes, writing new proposals, putting everything in order so I can be gone for a week without leaving anything undone. Spent lots of time with my kitty. He is just a little rag doll now but his affection seems to increase as he continues to weaken. He sleeps on our feet or our shoes and talks to us in a croaky meow. He represents a long and treasured era in our lives.
Heads up on the great Art Fair that happens after Squam in Sandwich, NH. If you are in the area and can come I am sure it will be a wonderful opportunity to shop for lovely handmade things. I know of several artists who will have soft goods, books and so on; let's have a nice turn out for these deserving people. I, of course, will be recording the event for you.I'm looking forward to seeing many old, well-loved friends there as well as meeting for the first time many of my blog heros. If you are coming, safe travel. I'll be back in a week. Ciao.
Have a good one, Judy. And that journal page is awesome. Tell us all about it when you can. Love and good wishes to the Kitty, from Athens GA.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time Judy! I have had the same experience with my aged kitties. They seem to need more human contact and love as they get older.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time, I'm excited to see your footage. :]
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear your lovey kitty is on the downhill slide. I had to put my big boy to sleep a couple of weeks ago because his lung tumors were compromising his breathing. I still keep expecting him to appear on the laundry room counter, waiting for me to scoop his turkey breakfast out for him.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I'm bummed! I first-preferenced "Wax the Casbah" at ArtFest and got my second or third choice instead! I had so much fun in your Thurday eve and Friday class at Art Unraveled that I wanted more. But I guess it's the universe telling me not to be so piggy, to let others have the chance to experience your magic.
Have a safe trip.
I look forward to reading about it. Home safely!
ReplyDeleteLove to kitty!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to investigate some of the books you show in your sidebar.
Your hubby's garden is so abundent and beautiful!
i love that "took someone off my bloglines for cheering the Republicans"....
ReplyDeletelove it, love it! (i do that too, in fact, i try to be very, very careful about who i put on my bloglines and links on my site).
Love the face and your faces in the journal pages.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you, we had to have our 'rag doll' put down this week after eighteen years. After all the grief and sadness, it amazed me the relief I felt after it was over, making the decision is the unbearable part.
Have a great week away, look forward to your posts when you return
