It's president's day. Last night I took a bag of Bing cherries from the back freezer. This morning I put Gregorian chant on the computer since it's also Lent and got busy. I always look like I've had a tragic accident after I put cherries. Some of the kitchen cabinets also looked murdered. In about half an hour a good enough cherry pie sat in front of me. Fred cat stretched up cause he wanted to snag the measuring cup of shortening. Yesterday I toted up the year I found Fred on the busy highway and realized he must be around ten!! I still think of him as a young guy but I guess not.
Last night I re-wrote a piece on the time I flew from WA state to Missouri. My Mom lived there years ago. My first effort was a travelogue. This time around its a reaching into sentiment and pie making and the realization that would be the final time when my Mom would be my Mom. After that week with her, she'd come back to my state and dementia would have robbed her of the person who raised me.
Today was breezy and chilly. I made it outside for a few minutes anyway, letting the cats out for a quick green adventure. I hope you all here are doing well.

Happy Donald Day??
Imagine that,
Takes a bit of imagining to be honest.
But you might like him and tell me off for being so flippant about the so called Leader of the Free World

@Ineeddentures Hey you!!!!!! I guess you don't know me as well as I thought. George Washington is who I meant. The other one is a rotten disgrace to my nation and needs a good smack to his rotunda. I just saw an article that said the idjit does not like dogs. Now I'm really ready to take a rolling pin to his head.

I thought you meant Bush, lol
I bet it's more that Dogs don't like Trump.
Dogs are clever

@Ineeddentures Dogs do enjoy garbage but they also have a sense of self preservation so most likely too much dank stink will have them running.

When you say Fred is that old it does seem like you found him around the time Jill doberman was born. Hard to believe that much time has passed.

@wolfgirl569 True. Seeing a tiny animal on that road was so weird. At first I thought I'd been seeing things.

I'm sorry about your Mom.
I'm glad you and Fred found each other.

Glad you found Fred, or he found you. Hope the "murder" wasn't too gruesome.
