very supportive of each other, it was a very genuine experience. I was in charge of Linda and my friend Bea was in charge of the daughter

Memorial boat is a pretty intense experience when one's got family represented on it.

yeah

I did it when my mom died.

I painted his shield for them

but, like, here is HRH, grieving, and still being so very gracious and kind to everyone.

Yeah, part of me thinks it must take an awful lot of strength...and part of me wonders if Pennsic is a welcome distraction from mourning.

I think both?

Probably.

Pennsic was only, like, 3 weeks after my dad's funeral

I considered, but could not do the boat that year

I was a mess when I did it for my mom.

I bet

Katie was a mess

Richildis and the Widows sort of clung together through the whole thing

I can imagine.

a ton of black talon showed up, their original household

Okay, I must vanish. Errands.

byeee

Up! And alone, but that's ok.

aw

hi

*waves!*

Ok. 6-7 hrs sleep. Not bad.

Tea. Also not bad.

And, washing puppy bedding, which is very good.... although I would really like her to explain why she stole the trinket box off Thing1's desk.....

OTOH, Jewel is better than the Things at putting her toys away.

ha

chuckle Does she have a place to put them? We have a box for the cats' toys. They know where to go to get them...but they're no good at returning them.

She's putting them in her kennel, which is fine with me. It's contained, and it's apparently a natural behavior.

HER space!

Jewel's tiny castle!

Oh, it's going to get better.....

oooo

Right now it's a basic wire deal, and No Way does she fit in 6 months....

yeah

That's nice...I hope she likes it.

Well... she's got at least 10 years, right? Might as well get a good one.

makes sense

Probably closer to 15.

Man, I've had Beezer for ten

Once certainly hopes for as long as possible! So I think it's worth it.

Hey Mr. D!

How goes?

Pretty good...full of yummy eggplant parm.
