Hello, All!
Once again, catching up...
So much going on here, so many changes...
Still not used to the "new normal" empty nest ~
♥
We have also lost two family members
in the last
few weeks, one human, one "fur"...
My brother-in-law Charles, first ~
Charles was a father-figure for my husband and my SIL (their own dad had passed away)...
they were practically still babies when he married their older sister, DeeDee.
Charles got not only a wife, but a whole family...he was their rock for 57 years.
♥ ♥ ♥

"Uncle Charles" was a good man.

Then yesterday, my daughter Mandy's kitty, Basil.
She explained it best in her Facebook post, which I will borrow here...
"My sweet Basil died in my arms this morning.
Six years old - heart failure, blood clot.
I've known the end was coming for about a month, but I had no idea when,
& I guess one is never really prepared.
I am so thankful it was quick, at home ...
& that I was with him.
He was a sweet, crazy boy from day one,
& life will never be the same without him.
So, now it's just me & two tabbies.
It's not quite right for BlackCatPratt to not have a black cat..."

As for me, I've been trying to get some things accomplished...
(Can you believe a month from today is Christmas?)
a beading project is in the works...
Kitties love beads, I've found...

Cyrus is guarding the beads...
Sitting on them like a dragon...
~

When I kept snapping pictures with my phone,
he turned around...
~

When Cyrus wasn't helping, Leo was.
Look how he lies half-on/half-off the table!
Graceful, that fellow is...no "Bull in the China Shop" here...

"I caused Mom to have to re-string an entire necklace after I swished
it off the coffee table with my tail...my work here is done...for now." ~ Cyrus

That's it for now...
Check back in a day or so and I will post step-by-step instructions
for my animal ornaments...
Really.
I'll be back.
Love,
