Roy is off to pick up community cat number 4 from the spay and neuter clinic. We shall see if this was a boy or a girl, but it is the one I wanted to name King. I was pleasantly surprised that he was caught in the trap, thinking it would be one of the Feral Fam who has been around for a while. Roy has become a cat whisperer. Don't think he especially wanted that added to the resume but he has such a calming influence.
While Roy was at deacon's meeting last night, out of the blue my friend Philippa texted me. Had a great text conversation that included her coronation plans, she is from the UK. I told her my feelings were hurt that as a Monarch, I had not received an invite but alas, my passport needs to be renewed. Maybe it is just as well. Philippa reminded me I could go but not get back in the country...and with the crack down on non working royals being kicked out of their apartments and homes...it is just good to catch it all on the telly. I also texted with my brother. His doggie passed away, she was fourteen years old and had been by his side through his life these past twelve and a half years. Oh, those little fur babies.
This week's lesson is difficult. It is always hard to read how Jesus was treated as they marched him back and forth between high priest, Pontius Pilate and Herod. Just read up on some history of Pontius Pilate and that just might make it into the lesson. And the political dynasty of Annas being high priests for years maybe even generations has that modern feel in politics or families in power these days.

This morning Roy released Kingsley back into her world outside. He said that beautiful cat didn't stop to greet relatives or eat, she raced out of that cage, meowing and howling as she ran a circle up to the gravel road, across the backyard and retraced her run. She was making noises this morning in the garage and we knew she had gotten her rest and she was ready to leave the safe confines of the garage. Maybe her name should be Towanda!
We also went to stuff envelopes at church for VBS and other activities. Just took about two hours and had a good crew as well as a fun crew working together. I think envelope stuffing was the skill that got me my job at First Baptist cause it sure wasn't balloon tying or presentation. Great snacks as well. Afterwards, we went to Sam's to get the potting soil on sale except there was just one bag left. We got it and more lemon water. Love that stuff. Introduced Roy to that deliciousness. It is just a seasonal item at Sam's but I also subscribe for a delivery every six weeks or so. Peach Raspberry is the bomb diggity.
Tuesday afternoon we went to visit a friend in the hospital. While we were there, the staff had been able to get a necessary procedure for our friend scheduled and down to surgery in a split second. We were able to help carry everything that needed to go with them because another room would be assigned. We prayed and laughed and visited. Here is a unknown fact to us, valet parking at the hospital here is free. What!? Back when we were going to the Med Center for stuff, it was $14.00. Probably a lot more now.

We officially began painting the chairs out front this morning. Amazon makes it way too easy to order stuff in the midst of working. Two more raised beds and paint for the chairs. Used to have to stop and go to the store. Now it will be here Sunday and Monday. We got four of the other flowerbeds prepared for spring temps so that we can plant.
After a relatively laid back schedule we jump into appointments next week. Sometimes it feels so overwhelming. At long last the cardiologist appointment is this week and I'm hoping we have a plan of action or something.
Another sign of spring, neighbor Nancy and I see each other outdoors. A package was misdelivered to us so we got to get in at least a forty minute conversation.
Not much else to write about or rather what I can write about...have to think on these things but I will end this long, rambling post with this. Carolyn shared a recipe for best pancakes and yes, they were that. Big, fluffy pancakes. Those along with our regular eggs and bacon, sometimes, made for a very nice Friday morning breakfast. We painted and planted with tons of energy this morning.
