monday, 10/29/07

hectic weekend!! our roof is being put on throwing the pups in a tizzy! he's coming down here to hang with us and get out of the shaking, noisey house... mom and dad love banjo-- although he's enormous for them and his tail could be registered as a legal weapon. sasha weighs 6 pounds-- that's what they're used to having around!! the two tails respect each other and the jo has been nothing but a gentleman... it always fascinates me how animals know what humans need most-- be it a kiss, a nudge or simply checking out the situation. their intuition is amazing.

dad chose not to attend a special scottish rite luncheon on saturday. this is beyond different-- he's usually so happy to have such things on his calendar. of course his mind was on it all day as he went about asking where his badge was or his something else-- i can't remember the name of it. my brother was so upset by this.... it is upsetting-- but something that's becoming more the norm so we all must learn to roll with these punches to the gut without laboring over them.

brother was more than punchy yesterday during his visit... mom had a list of to do's and he sighed each time as if they were some great burden. naturally she let the sighs go while he was here and saved the banter for me.... that's ok-- at least she got it off her chest and didn't let it fester inside as she used to doing.

dad slept a great deal during brother's visit-- he came out when he knew i'd be here... and we stayed up a bit later to watch CSI on tv. now THAT was weird-- dad has never in his life watched shows other than PBS or news type television. for some reason he chuckled the whole way thru the show-- there was not too much funny stuff-- i'm still perplexed as to what he saw that made him chuckle...

we'll see if he wants to go to his rotary meeting today-- let's all pray.
