My horoscopes lately have been precisely on target.

Today's:

"Enough with the emotional melodrama brought about by family and friends. Resist the urge to get involved or to help solve it. They need to do it, all by themselves. Step away from the dramatic episodes, and live your own life."

A few pictures from Easter - part 1, the people

We only had seven for our gathering this year. My nephew Mike is still in England with his girlfriend Katie and my nephew Chris was in a bicycle race today in Fairfield, Calif. It seemed quiet without the boys. We had a nice pleasant day. Nobody gave me any crap about cleaning our house. Whew!

My mom did OK. Every time the phone rang she jumped. She'd given the vet my sister's number in case Boots died. No call while we were at Sherrie's. She's ready to let him go unless they miraculously find a fixable problem with the ultrasound tomorrow. The two cats provided a distraction. Otto, Mike's cat, was kooky and gave us a lot of comic relief. I'll post their pictures next.
