Uncle SC

I received sad news that Uncle SC passed away today.  I guess I was expecting it because he had been unwell for some time.  Over the years, he had Parkinson's Disease - without the shakes!  Then he slowly lost his ability to speak and he was using some kind of voice box.  Very strange sounds came from his throat to some box he wore around his waist.  It took a while to decipher what he was saying.

Uncle SC will be missed for his love of good food, chocolate ice-cream, great sense of humour, wry observations and great writing skills who taught me how to love a good book to read and to look at life with a sense of humour!

Grumpy Sister

Ever since we moved in October, my sister has been a really grumpy person.  Please don't let your grumpy mood to affect the dogs and cats at home.  It isn't good for their psychology to have a person in the house who scolds them when they greet you when you get home.  How would you feel if you went to greet someone and they showed you a grump face? 

If you are having a bad day at work, too bad! The dogs didn't create the bad day for you, neither did the cats.  Blame it on the other people at work who affect your mood .... don't blame us!

They start the day when they come to the house and lay out their tarp sheets and all other protective stuff on the floor.  This is when they come ...

These guys also lay out the cones, disaster area tape and a DANGER SIGN!
