Condolences to Her Majesty. No matter what you think of the monarchy, it’s shattering to lose your spouse.

That was my first thought.

Bob’s Burgers, episode: don’t know... Aunt Gayle does this to her cats... does not go well. 

Even if you managed to get the nails on, have fun enjoying your cat’s very temporary makeover.

There is no glamming up my goyle:

My girl is very glamorous without the need for pawdicures.

Mr. Goodratt and I were there literally the week of spring break last year (my family went there a while lot growing up as a vacation, hailing as we did originally from north of Kansas City), and it was wonderful. Got word while there that the school I work at was shutting down and we realized how dire the whole covid…

It’s fascinating, I’m a California native and have not extensively traveled the US, but I wandered around Eureka Springs just now in Google Maps and more than anything it strongly reminds me of the gold rush towns in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Places like Grass Valley, Nevada City, Angels Camp, and Murphys have a…

Would that be Eureka Springs?

On the plus side, the rest of the family went on to enjoy a four-day overbearing-Dad-less vacation of a lifetime!

Is it Clue the Musical? I did that several years ago and it was a heck of a lot of fun. It’s certainly not “high theater”, but a blast. I will admit that none of us were overly talented, with the exception of our Miss White (played by a guy, I don’t remember if that’s standard or if our director was just having fun)…

Rockin! What show is the tech-heavy one? Man, I’d love to be in Clue.

So cool! I'd love to see Clue on stage!

I wrote last week about my cat and knowing when to say good-bye. She had a rapid decline in the days after I posted so the answer was very apparent. So on Wednesdsy we had a vet come to the house and we let her go in peace. I am very sad and constantly hear/feel her in the house.

Look who passed his test! Who else has good news to share from this week?

Shelter Cat Update!

My Grandmother used to do fancy eggs like that. She’d also blow the insides out so she could save them. For a few years she’d do Ukranian Easter eggs, but they were so time consuming she only did about six or eight total. I wish I had one today, but I have no idea what happened to them all. That was back in the 80's.

So, after trying to discuss our monthly monetary shortfall with The Bartender, several times, I’ve decided to definitely find something online, part time. When I think about this I become mildly furious; certain things are quite expensive here in Panama, like prescriptions, and my pension doesn’t quite cover the…

Weather has been wonky here with highs in the 60s and lows in the 20s !!! Spring is most definitely here. Fun week with us starting to “travel” with our pre school lessons. So far we’ve flown to the Grand Canyon & Australia. Tiny human is all about the “in-flight” snacks and getting her passport stamped. Hope everyone…
