Good-bye Darling Lucky













We lost our darling, happy-go-lucky 9 month old Lucky today quite unexpectedly. We are all in shock with grief and sadness. We will all have a big hole in our hearts without Lucky. He was one special little cat. We got him when he was about 5 - 6 weeks old as a nearly road-kill baby from a busy road in Akron, Ohio. Students sheltered him one night on campus and contacted me to inquire if I might be interested in raising a kitten. I sent his picture to George and the rest is history. George says Lucky was his first cat. He never knew that kittens were so much fun. We had regular play times with him each morning and evening as he adjusted to living in our home. He loved life and lived it to the max. We will miss him so much.

Welcome to Winter 2010







4 degrees this morning, but "warmed" up to 16 degrees by 4:45. It just kept snowing and snowing and snowing today! At least 14 inches fell. We shoveled the driveway twice so far today. Believe it or not we went out driving 4 times today. 3 trips were to get new tires on George's car and one was to go out to Cleats for lunch with some friends. We are staying put the rest of the day. I'm making good progress on my future red wool felted brimmed hat.
