RIP - Redford "Sunshine Face"

Author Unknown

And God asked the feline spirit

"Are you ready to come home?"

"Oh, yes, quite so", replied the precious soul

"And, as a cat, you know I am most able

To decide anything for myself."

"Are you coming then?" asked God.

"Soon," replied the whiskered angel

"But I must come slowly

For my human friends are troubled

For you see, they need me, quite certainly."

"But don't they understand?" asked God

"That you'll never leave them?

That your souls are intertwined.

For all eternity?

That nothing is created or destroyed?

It just is....forever and ever and ever."

"Eventually they will understand," replied the glorious cat

"For I will whisper into their hearts

That I am always with them

I just am....forever and ever and ever."

Rest in Peace Redford Louis...my "Sunshine Face"

Love always, Auntie Jodi & Cousin Harley

Blast From The Past

Your eyes are not deceiving you. Yes, this really is a post from ME!! Hello everyone!! I am SO sorry that I totally suck as a blogger these days. Really, I am. So much stuff has been going on. What brought me back is our dear friend Sue. She is OK, but Redford her cat is not. I have been talking to her the past few days. That is why she has been unable to post. My heart is breaking for her. Please keep her in your prayers as today is a very sad day for her.

Let's see!! Well school officially starts on January 4th!! I cannot wait. A few weeks ago I had to go up to the University to get my Student ID. I felt like the oldest person there. Larry was like "no, you're not". Then explain to me why the students were handing out flyers for an upcoming event outside the Student Center and they handed them out to everyone around us, but not us? Ummmm because they probably thought we were faculty! LOL!

I had to go scrub shopping which was fun!! Actually the big bulk of my scrubs was a Christmas gift from my sister Jenny. How sweet of her!! I wondered why she wanted to come shopping for scrubs with me. Now I know why. I got regular scrub tops and cargo scrub pants in black (duh!), brown, wine, navy blue and army "Hawkeye from M*A*S*H" green. I also, after much prodding from my sister, got 3 print tops. Here are what they look like from the company's online catalog.

This one is called Twilight

This one is called Top Knot

Lastly, this one is called Chocolate Kisses (got it because of the butterflies)


Yes, I am such a nerd that I posted my scrub top photos. LOL! I have to say it is nice now that since I have lost 130 pounds (a small person!), that I can shop in any scrub top store and not have to worry about sizes. Thank God!! Which reminds me I need to post a new picture of me.

Well my friends, I am going to promise to try to be a better blogger. I really have alot of catching up to do with you all as far as reading and commenting on blogs. I just wanted you to know that I didn't fall off the face of the earth. This month has been crazy with getting ready for school. I also had to get YAG laser surgery in both of my eyes. Remember I had told you a few years back I had cataract surgery at 35yrs old due to the fact that I am asthmatic and when I was sick with pneumonia I was on prednisone which is a steroid. That caused the cataracts. Well anyway, since I was young with getting the surgery I had a 60% chance of growing what is called a "secondary membrane" over the implant they put in your eye during cataract surgery. What this means is that it was like I was getting another cataract. Good news is that they were removed by laser two different weeks this month. Also, they can NEVER grow back. Also my vision is SO much better now. I will only have to continue wearing distance glasses when I drive. My intermediate and near vision are great.

As you can see, it has been a crazy month for me. I hope that you all are doing well and are healthy. I will try and update more often.

Again, please keep Sue and her family in your prayers. God bless little Redford...My Sunshine Face. ♥

Yes! I Am Still Alive

Just wanted you all to know that I am still alive. LOL!! Been doing a ton of things before school starts next month
