Jery & I spent a lovely day with our parents – in Kalispell – on Sunday, the 24th.  It was my Dad’s 91st birthday.

When we arrived, Daddy was really tired, though he soon perked up.  Then, I realized that becuse we were going to be there, he’d missed his late morning nap.

My Mother and Jer’s Mom were with us also, and as we were enjoying lunch, Daddy even cracked a joke — probably the first I’ve heard in nearly 3 years!  So, it was a FABULOUS day!  

Part of why I believe he’s doing so well is Miss Kitty.  Remember?  She moved there at Christmas, so now it’s a month later and she is ruling the roost!  NEVER before has a cat – in their home or mine – been permitted to lie on furniture.  Simply a house rule . . .  animals on the floor – or a lap.  But look where she is!  As I saw her leap to the chair, I responded by yelling, scoulding.  Mother laughed.  Said, it really was fine —  that she’s so sweet she can go wherever she pleases!  Talk about the Life of Riley!

Anyway — she’s good for them, and they are good for her, so it’s a total love affair there.

The day began with a light snow, which turned into bright sun before we headed home.

A lovely day!
