Just wanted to say to those of you who “might” have seen the posting of “oh So Close” I found a way to secure the new truck. I sold Mike’s “Songpile” this morning. That’s what he called his longboard, exotic lumber that he collected over the years: Myrtlewood, mahogany, Zebrawood etc.. He used to say that he only bought wood that sang to him. It was a bittersweet sale, but I am now the proud owner of a 2006 Ford Expedition! Those of you who did read my posting, please forgive me for posting it. It was out-of-line.
Link is again in trouble. He keeps falling over and I am not sure why. I am supremely worried about him because of this cold snap, because this morning, when I went out to the pasture (WARNING GRAPHIC INFO APPROACHING)
I found Mystic, she was frozen solid and she was gone. But, what was really strange was that her left rear leg was missing?!!! There was no wound, no hole, no nothing- just a leg gone??? I don’t know what happened to her- was she dying and she froze and a raccoon snapped her leg off? She had all claws intact on her remaining leg- no road marks, no nothing, she was just gone. It was 22 degrees last night. She was a kitty that showed up years ago and just would come and go to eat. I talked to my vet, but he had no clue either. I am sad she came to this end, and now, not having seen Link in a week- I wonder if he too is in trouble under the house. Tomorrow, despite my bum knee and bad foot, I am crawling under the house to try and find him and get him to the vet yet again.
Did I miss a deleted entry?
I am sorry that you had to let Mike’s ‘Songpile’ go (what a marvellous name for a collection of wood; beautiful), but I suspect he would be perfectly fine with the transaction.
I read about Mystic on Facebook, but not seeing Link in a week is indeed worrisome. The best of luck in finding him.
I saw the Oh So Close entry and I didn’t see anything wrong with it. Certainly nothing that would warrant deleting it. Maybe you were stepping out of your comfort zone? Sometimes when we do that it feels wrong.
Happy that you finally have dependable transportation. It was necessary and it seems fitting that something Mike “stockpiled” something that works for your good.
I love the transformation of your home. It looks so much better! You did all you could when you were juggling so many things, and that’s all anybody can do.
