This is TightRope. She just appeared one day a couple of years ago, had 4 kittens, and decided to stay.
This is a dark picture of our first cat. Lady was given to Heather for Christmas by Lacey's dad, Dirk, and is
at least 15 years old. She stays in the untility room most of the time, except to eat.

Deal Struck!!

Ollie is real worried about paying us for helping her move. Actually, we did very little, and took 2 or 3 items over to her new apt. which she hasn't moved into yet. It has been bugging the crap out of her to pay us for this help. She calls up (second call in two days) about 4 this afternoon, and wants to know if she can give us something for helping her move. And I said "No, family helping family, I didn't do this expecting to be paid." But you know Ollie, her mind was made up. So she said she had this blue recliner that needed a new cushion, and we could have that. Trying to put the old gal off, I told her I had to run it by Cathy for approval. Then she said " I also have this old suitcase full of vibrators". And the picture that went through my mind, you cannot imagine, or maybe you can, and I know you guys thought of the same thing. In the background, I can hear Cathy snorting and choking and trying to keep from laughing out loud. In the mean time, Ollie is still talking to me about this suitcase full of vibrators and how we can sit on one, put one behind your knees or even use one by hand. Now the picture is clearing up, bizarre thoughts strolling through my brain,and when I can finally talk without sputtering and tears running down my cheeks, Cathy hauls ass for the bedroom and shuts the door. I can hear her in there hooting and hollering, the dogs start barking, there's somebody knocking at the door, I'm about to pee my pants, and Ollie's still trying to tell me about these vibrators! Tell me we don't have fun around here!! So, deal is struck, and we are headed to town to pick up our new toys. Don't know if they are battery or plug in type. Guess it doesn't really matter. So any time you want to stop by, we will have good vibrations. Take a number, no charge.

Another one bites the dust!

We got this advertisement in the mail today. It tells us the usual holiday greetings and wishes, but then goes on, in a letter to us on the inside, that Tyler's Gem Pharmacy has sold out to Sav-On Albertsons!!!! Now, don't that just beat all? As of Dec. 20th, no more Tylers. Rob will go to work for Albertsons for a while, and so will his employees. I guess he couldn't deal with all the BS that goes with today's insurance and Medicare. Sure will miss him.

pissed off your Mother

Yes I made your Mother mad, and no it was not hard to do. Her Dr. appointment is on the 9th in Boise. Cathy was going to take her. But she started running her mouth about Cathy trying to run her appointments and telling her what to do. She wanted an understanding that she was going to have it all her way. Well B.S. I will be damned if your Mother is going to Bad mouth Cathy in any way shape or form especially when Cathy goes out of her way to be nice to your Mother, and help out where she can, Cathy does not have to put up with any verbal abuse.The buck stops here. I told her to get her own damn ride and walked out. She can call 1-800-Dial a ride , for all I give shit. So the next time you talk to your Mother and she starts bitchin, this is what actually happened.

60 Big Ones

This sucks, a 20 year old mind and a 60 year old body, what the hell do you do now?? OH !! Thanks everone for the B day greeting's . And how do you spend your B day ? Why working on Clay's piece of shit car from 0900 t0 2300 that's Navy time for you land lubbers. But it's fixed and out the door, next. Got a call from Carla an Mitch they sang happy B day ,thanks. Didn't even have a beer, can you believe it? Got to take care of this old body, I think beer is just about history.I can still remember my 7th B day we lived in the old Bishop house and Nora B. Horn Grang Ma, one each. Gave me a Bow Tie , don't remember the color, for my B day. Damn ! ! ! What a let down. You would think Grand Mothers would be more sensitive to a young fellers dreams of becoming a Cowboy or rocket scientist, I think I shall seek counseling, beer does not help. Well so much for young Dreams now it's getting older memories and Hard fought experiences. Looking forward to the next 60, cause I'm going to live long die old and leave a butt ugly corpse.
