Treasures
Bang, bang, bang. That’s pretty much what we heard in our apartment from Thursday last week until Monday this week. Thank goodness the rain made them finish up on Monday evening. They were redoing the roof of our apartment building and didn’t take a day off. I was so ready for them to finish so that I didn’t have to hear the banging any longer or their obnoxious choice of music. The other day when we asked them to turn the music down they told us that it was a bummer for them. It was definitely a bummer for us to have to listen to it in our own house. I was tempted to find some good crazy polka music and play it loudly for them. Now there is just stuff left around the apartment building, I hope they come clean up their messes soon.
By popular request here is a photo of the treasures that I brought home from my grandfather’s house - buttons, a darning egg (which I know will come in handy) and the library cards. There are so many more things in boxes that my mom has stored away. When she scans the photo of my grandparents, I may post it. It’s absolutely priceless. For now you’ll just have to settle for a photo of me that I had never seen before.
I think it’s my new favorite photo of myself.
Our family has lost another kitty family member. Milly, my first cat, who has lived with my parents the sixteen years I’ve been away from home was put to sleep on Sunday. She had been dealing with kidney failure for a while. Her seventeen and a half years were lived to their fullest. I know my parents will miss her dearly and will miss her sneakiness at the dinner table. Chloe sends her love to my mom and Lucy, the remaining kitty in my parents’ house.
