Not too long ago Ricky informed us that his wife Cathy was diagnosed with stage 3 bladder cancer. Then the next text stated she had stage 4 bladder cancer with metastasis to the stomach. She went home with hospice. She passed away yesterday. I feel very sad for Ricky. He has endured a lot of losses the past few years--more than his share. I am so glad we were able to get together during the reunion in Alamogordo.
Finally finished the book nook. The kit was amazingly detailed, but not too difficult to put together. However, I didn't wire it, so there are no lights. Lights would have really taken it to the next level, but it required a skill level beyond my own.
Went by the old house. It's completely different now, of course. We were hoping to go inside but the current owner is a paranoid freak. We surreptitiously dropped the ashes and marked the spot with a rock.
View from Dog Canyon, south of town. Beautiful day! And a picture in front of the high school with their "new" tiger. I was told they replaced the tiger because the old one was really a panther.
Taumi, Wegman and I left for NM Sept 21. We drove across country to attend the Alamogordo Senior High School 50th reunion. We departed from Mebane and arrived late afternoon Sept 22. We stayed at an airBnB on Juniper Street, near Wegman's old home and around the corner from where Kristi lived.
