A Beautiful Sunset

Happened to look out the window about 4 PM yesterday...and here's what I saw...

It was a beautiful evening and it's a beautiful day today. About 30 degrees, no wind, lots of sunshine. Not a TYPICAL January 22nd in Juneau.

Here's the same view from about 10 days ago....

The snow is now all gone...would actually prefer to have some on the ground...but I am not complaining.

A stressful day yesterday. I had to take mom's oldest cat to the vet to be put down. Poor kitty was old and worn-out. Don't think the little gal weighed more than four pounds or so. Her name was Wee One...and the only surviving cat at the folks is Wee One's daughter, Little Bit...who is everything but... Bet she weighs a good twenty pounds. A big fat sleeper cat.

Both Wee One and Little Bit were rescued from homelessness by mom in the trailer park many years ago. I rarely see Little Bit, she hides all day long behind the sofa. Perhaps she will become more friendly now that she is the only feline present.

I was a little worried about Amanda yesterday. She's in the Sierra Nevada Mountains east of Los Angeles. I spoke to her last night and the weather has been truly awful. Rain, snow, sleet, hail, thunder and lightning and big winds. YIKES! The power was out in the area; but the camp she works at has generators. She called this morning and said they got four feet of new snow and are snowed-in - with 130 sixth graders. Double YIKES!

Well doing some laundry and houskeeping. Then a few elder errands. Then to the Prospector to meet Dougie, Shelly and Laura for Friday cocktails. Belated birthday cocktails for Dougie!

Have a good weekend everybody.
