Another short update
Another short update since I have more facts now. My neighbor was 20 yrs old, his birthday was only about a week away and he would have been 21. His friends went to a lacrosse game, not a soccer game as I had thought.
My heart is still so heavy. Now, I am so thankful that the path of the slug went out of the house. If he had been turned it would have gone right through my childrens bedrooms. Since I didn't hear the blast, he could have killed my kids too and I never would have known. Just thinking of this takes my breath away. Still I can't help being thankful that it didn't happen.
The kittens are over seven weeks old now and I still have all four of them. They spend the night running around, jumping on the beds and playing with each other. They spend the daytime climbing me and playing with each other. I'm sure they think my legs are trees they way they all try to climb me at once. So next week we're going to start giving them to the new homes and I think its going to be so hard, but has to be done. I can't believe how much cat food I'm going through, there is no way I can keep this up.
We've had mostly a really nice week here sunny and warm, except yesterday and today with rain and clouds. Today its pretty cold out I'm thinking of turning up the heat a bit to take the chill out of the air. I'm really looking forward to the warm weather so I can do some planting. We did start some yard work, my husband in the front and me in the back, but I was raking the leaves and I started to get worried I would find the slug under all the leaves... so after 15 minutes that was it. I had the kids running around me so I took them out front and figure I'll finish that when everyone isn't running around. Hopefully once they get the hole fixed in the siding it will be easier to be in the yard.
Well I'm off to find some lunch before the kiddos get home. Thanks so much to Dan for spotlighting me as he's guest editor this week at Magic Smoke !
Have a great day!

congrats on being a pick of the guest editor!
I'm so sorry about your neighbor and how you must be feeling with all of this; it is so senseless when someone takes their own life; you feel for them and the pain they must have been going to, to arrive to such a conclusion, but the guilt they leave behind to family members and friends is sooo hard to deal with it, I'm sure
the kittens are cute; I know it will be hard to get rid of them, but I agree with you, hard to keep them all
