Today my beautiful Mama turns 81.

I am stunned and in shock this morning, as our small community is reeling, shaken to the core by the sudden death of one of our dearest.

I'm missing my Carolina grandbabies.

I'm missing them a lot.

Our sweet little grandson Krew turned 3 yesterday.

I am plumb worn out this morning.

Our four October kitties were born at a tough time of year, but they sure have brought Kim and me a lot of enjoyment watching them this winter.
