This last

This last week has been a bit of a challenge. David came home for a few additional days from our holiday visit back east, which was great! I love being with him, in our home. But we look over at Monk and his bottom left fang is dangling by a thread. We bring him to the vet and start pouring money into fixing up his teeth. Poor little guy.

Arrow on the other hand just needed a blog feature and wanted to show off his prime real estate, the view out the window, overlooking the arial path to the bird feeder. Imagine him chirping in anger that those flying things would dare fly anywhere in his vicinity.
This week about 18 inches of snow fell. Shoveling has been a blast-oh yeah! The alternative septic tank motor blew out and my good friend got in an accident on her way over to pick me up for a fun dinner party. Broken ribs, injured neck.
My friend is such a good sport. She is happy to have walked away with her life and her husband, knows it will only be time that makes her feel better. I love listening to her gentle voice say these things. She is a very special person, indeed.
All of this while I am trying to settle down, focus on writing my book and learn to live alone for the time being. Even with all these life happenings; I am doing good work. Nothing I can show, you'll have to read the book when it comes out, but I feel satisfied with the work I am creating.
So please say prayers for my buddy! I haven't asked her if it is OK to say even this much on the blog, so I will not write out her name. But I would love for her to feel well wishes from far and wide.

What a week is right! I'm glad you are weathering the storm, and I saw your buddy yesterday. She can't wait for us to get together and play! She promised not to try dancing on the tables for awhile, though!
Keep writing, girl... I want to place my book order now, but realize I need to be patient. All the best things take a little time, so I'll wait!
See you soon,

Judy
