Long Week

What a week!  This week Byron and I celebrated 32 years of marriage on the 10th. That date this year had some other excitement in addition to the anniversary but more on that later. I still can't believe that it's been 32 years.  It doesn't seem like it's been that long and yet, sometimes-not very often, I feel every year of it.  We waited until this past Saturday to celebrate so that we can go out with my best friend from work, Jaimi, who just so happens to have the same anniversary the I do.  She and her husband were celebrating number 15. Yes, we are old enough to be their parents, almost, but that's the best thing about being an adult, there are not a lot of age constraints when it comes to making friends.  We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, drove some cars (more on that later) and went to see Sherlock Holmes.  Dinner was great, the movie was amazing and the company was wonderful.

Last Sunday was a sad day, it was the day our cat, Junior died. I am not much of a softie over animals but he was the last of the "original" animals we had at this house and I remember specifically telling my son NOT to bring him home but when I woke up the next morning, there he was.  About the same size a stick figure drawing of a cat.  We soon fattened him up and we eventually started calling him our Buddha Kitty.  He was friends with all of our other animals, unless they didn;t want to be, and he used to wrestle with Gus, our dog.  Jr was 11 and it was time I guess.  We said good-bye to 3 cats and 2 dogs this past year.  1 cat and 1 dog went to live with others.  The rest just went...I am done saying good-bye to pets.

This is Junior and Me-Mow

Now we get to the fun events of the 10th and another good-bye. On my way to work I was hit by a someone who ran a stop sign and hit me.  The initial report was that the car appeared repairable.  Once it got to the tow yard, it was a different story.  So it is good-bye to our Sonata.  It was a great little car and took us on some amazing adventures.

Not sure what the replacement will be although the official contenders are the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Subaru Outback.  Stay tuned...same bat time...same bat channel.
