Make it Pretty Monday – Week 64

by 43 Comments

Hello World!  Happy Monday!  Well, we dropped her off at her first day of Kindergarten!  I didn’t cry until after we had deposited her in her classroom and we were walking back to the car.  I’m such a ball of mixed emotions.  I’m so happy for her, but a little nervous for her as well.  I will miss her, but I know we’ll have a nice time cuddling with her when we get her home from school.  
No pictures of the kittens.  I could not get a non-blurry picture of any of them.  They will be 8 weeks tomorrow and are a flurry of activity.  They are pretty much weaned except for the occasional snuggle with mama cat which usually ends up with one or more of them nursing.  So, the two boys will be heading off to my Mother-in-law’s house sometime next week, and the girl will be staying here with Colette and Camille. 
Okay, enough jabbering.  Let’s get to the party.  Welcome to Week 64 of:

    Hi Kathryn, I haven't shared in quite awhile. My dear, sweet hubby passed away on the 16th. With a heavy heart, I wrote a post about him and shared that with you today. xo
