I am so sorry

Hoping her babies will help ease the pain. They won't replace her, but it might help fill the hole in your heart

 

[Southern by choice]

The kittens are enjoying the evening with me while I sort and fold laundry.

How old are the kittens?

I love that Siamese colored one. Wish we were closer... Although, it is probably a good thing as we don't need another cat! lol. I am good with the one for now. He is as expensive as about 10.

What a cute little bunch of kittys.

For the first time in several months, I got to visit with my best friend. She and I have known each other since we were twelve, and for ten years we spent every day together. We we're so close we even spent every night at one another's houses and were invited in family vacations by the others parents. We were in each others weddings, I saw the birth of all three of her children. They call me Auntie Kate. Love those turds. She's more like a long list sister to me. Recently our daily phone calls have been reduced to a few texts a day, and the occasional hour long call to catch up.

So last night on the phone we realized that we were both off today. She made the three hour trek to my house, kids in tow, to come see me and catch up. Even helped me repair a fence and cut down some trees that were on the fence ready to go (storms+dead trees= fence damage).

The kids picked tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce, carrots, and helped me milk the goats. In return I tossed a huge salad and made a huge meal. We had spice Apple pork roast, which I slow cooked for three hours. I made them fresh tater tots, deep fried squash, fresh beans, pasta, cut up some strawberries, and made a (fresh!) Blackberry cobbler. We topped it off with fresh goats milk and ate until food came from our noses. They live in the city and dont often get fresh food. I only have enough leftovers for my husband and I to fight over taking to lunch tomorrow so I would say it's a hit! They left about 8, and the kids were out before she hit the paved road (about two miles). Good thing she brought changes of clothes and bathed them before they left!

Anyways, here's some pictures from today I had a blast! It was nice being able to show her all of the cutting, clearing, and house fixing up we've been doing in person.
