How's Everyone??....

Had a wet 4th but a quiet one. Really achey joints but the

weather has been so changable..have seen it go from mid 70's to high

80's in under 15 minutes......Some places not more than 30 miles

from us got hail and high winds...but fortunately it missed us.

Would be doing alot better but my cat Kali decided to pull a 'hide-

and-seek' game with us Sat. night....made it to the corn and didn't

show her face again for 5 hours......and naturaly I had to go

looking for her...in the corn....went in about 60 rows with Tina

right beside me and our trusty flash lights with energizer

batteries....It was really dark by 9 pm and the corn was way over

our heads...7-8 feet tall....I told Tina if we got separated to look

up for the treelines and head that way..lol If you've ever been in a

corn field you'll understand what it's like...after awhile there is

no left or right or even an up or down...Total

disorientation.....Can understand how children can get lost in a

corn field....When Tina was younger she and 3 other little girls

decided to make a house out in the corn...used corn knives and cut

out 'rooms' in the corn..even had hallways....closets..etc. Very

ingenuitly done....But the poor farmer wasn't too thrilled....Always

wondered how that would look from a sky view...? Even had a 'house'

visit from the local cop......Yep I can laugh now but at the time we

could only thank God no one cut off a finger or toe......but some

butts were hurting that night.....lol

Only one incident to mar the week-end. My car got backed into

by a friend of my son's ...dented the passenger door but it still

opens and has a place on the other side that is almost a match...As

you can guess it wasn't anytnhing major and the Tracer, 91' got off

litely when the pickup's bumper looked like it had hit a tree. Had a

basset hound from a block or two away come and say hi to us just as

we started setting up to grill....so had to put that off for

awhile...Kobi, our male cat had a catniption but survived....I

wondered why he was trying to touch his nose with his back

paws....Poor puppy didn't stand a chance between my two cats and the

neighbor's 3......you could tell he knew about cats from his tucked

tail and desire to put as much space between him and them as he

could. lol Well. that's my news for the time being hope all had a

safe and 'dry' weekend.

That reminds me when we were stupid Seniors in HS and brave (no, wait, just

stupid!) and we went to Germany, just me and my best friend, on a school trip.

We went to the black forest. They call it that because it's so thick, if you

walk in a few feet, it's black and you cannot even see the sunlight to find your

way out. They told us your best bet is to just stay put. Well, we decided that

it was probably an urban legend or something. So, we walked in there. In about

4 minutes, we were done!! Couldn't see the road. We were in there a few yards.

We just stayed put and yelled. Our bus driver got help and found us. After

that, we clung to our bus driver, Pasquale, and listened to whatever he said.

So, I know what you mean about the cornfield. You just get totally disoriented.

Mom to the monsters

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr.

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to

certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't

be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that

situation better.

Have a nice day everyone.

...your description of the tall corn made me think of 'Field of Dreams " .

Did you get to see that? Please be nice to that naughty kitty....she was just

acting like a pussy cat does. That's a shame about your car. Reminds me of

telling Manda...when she turned 16 and was driving that I thought she was

backing out of the garage too fast. She, being a 16 year old, ignored me. I

was standing out in the yard one day and she was driving our NEW car....too

fast...and she bashed into 's NEW company car. Needless to say......there

were big time repercussions. I shouldn't act too mean about

her.........because I really had an easy time of it with her. We were so

musically compatible that we could always smooth things over....I played piano

and she played the alto recorder and we truly did make beautiful music together.

Love, Cam
