What to say, what to say??? I have typed & erased a
number of sentences here, but frankly I’m just not feeling it. Just imagine
that I said something witty, mkay?

My brother & I took my dad out for dinner for an early birthday
dinner. It was nice spending time with these guys! And that salad was
GINORMOUS. I took about 2/3 of it home for Dr. M to eat.

We’ve been watching the Ken Burns country music documentary
(very good!) which inspired Dr. M to pull out all of his dulcimers. I get to
benefit from that because he’s been playing again!

No real picture today, but this is a screen shot of the
hilarious book I read for book club (Dear
Committee Members, by Julie Schumacher). It’s all the letters (mostly
letters of recommendation) that a university professor writes for about a year.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Also, this is my dad’s actual birthday. Happy birthday Daddy!

From FB: I am shedding so much
these days that if I covered my body in glue I could be Bigfoot’s stumpy sister
in a matter of moments. At this point, I need an emotional support roomba to
just follow me around. Sigh. P. S. Not to worry - I still have PLENTY of hair.

Dr. M took his dad for his
second Mohs surgery today. He did well – he is now skin cancer free. This
is Smoky, his dad’s favorite cat.

Dr. M went to see his Pop & took another picture of
Smoky. Such a pretty kitty!

I helped out at my church’s tent at Catawba Valley Pride. It
was encouraging to see so many churches there – and a lot of fun!
I came home from the festival & did some house cleaning,
so I now I feel extra virtuous and shall feel free to enjoy the rest of my
evening. I hereby give all of you permission to enjoy the rest of your evening
(or day, if you’re reading it earlier in the day. I’m magnanimous that way.).
Wowie-zowie! I got my email notification! Life is good. Belated happy birthday wishes, and lots of scritches and pets to Smoky, who is a beautiful cat. I've been watching the Country Music documentary, too -- as has most of the country, as far as I can tell. It really is good: that great combination of educational and entertaining that seems to be getting more rare.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere long ago that we shed 1,000 hairs a day or maybe it was 100 hairs a day. I don't remember. It's been a loooong time since I read that.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful instruments. I'm sure they, along with Dr. M, make beautiful music.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I'm shedding a lot lately, too! Between me and the cats, it's pretty furry around here. And add in Rick's long silver strands--vacuuming is my Most Dreaded Chore.
ReplyDeleteI feel extra virtuous - that made me chuckle
ReplyDeleteAlways love a Cancer-free update from anyone/everyone!
We had a cat once that was just that color. I named him "Smoke". Coincidence? Or lack of imagination?
ReplyDeleteWow! What a collection of instruments. Need a YouTube video of the music!
ReplyDeleteLovely silky cat.
I had a grey cat like that. Her name was Smokey. My older two boys came up with that name. Clearly my oldest son's imagination improved as he got older. He named his cat "Meatwad."
ReplyDeleteDr. M's instruments are beautiful! Looking forward to more Facebook videos!
As I was out taking Harvest Moon pictures on the 13th and they were not coming out good, I wasn't sweating it because I knew Dr. M would have some spectacular ones to share. :) That's ok...you've provided plenty of moon shots!
