Hi Everybody,

Sorry I haven't been posting.  Last fall that virus thing came through
and inundated my computer and drove me so nuts that I couldn't stand it
so I just read for a while.  It has only been just lately that I have
been brave enough to post again.  And no viruses!!!  YAY!!!!!!  Anyway,
that's my excuse.

On to the update....  after a long winter of asthma, I am finally doing
well.  Tony and the Stripey Thing have never been better.  It looks like
I may have a love life, but, this is the internet, so I'm not about to
talk about it here!!!  At this very moment, I can't think of any of the
really funny things the brats have been doing - and they do their share.
 But since the virus isn't ever present anymore, I will post more often
about them.

And now Grace can take a chill pill. :)

Oh yeah, my dad is doing okay for now too.  He was really sick over
Easter, but is doing much better.  And his cat Charlie has won over the
nursing home.  I understand there is some question as to whether I will
even find Charlie there when my father finally dies as someone may have
already spirited him away for their own.  I hope there is some truth to
that because I don't need a third cat!!  But Charlie is the sweetest
thing.  He rolls over in the middle of the floor when anyone comes in
expecting his tummy to be rubbed.  It is something like the price of
admission to the room. And the next time that cat needs shots, I am not
going to take him because he wouldn't come within 20 feet of me for 3
months afterwards.  Talk about grudges.

Thanks for caring everyone.

Bridget
