Okay....

........ Squeegie & Poppa........
..... are putting new metal glides on the drawer's of Aunt Peggy's dresser, so she can use it at her new residence.   She has agreed - at the age of 99 - to stay at Atrium Retirement Residence.  This is such a relief for Poppa & myself, since we don't have to worry about her being in the house all by herself; we don't have to worry about her medications getting mixed up, lost or forgotten; we don't have to worry about her falling on the stairs; we don't have to worry about whether she is eating properly when we are not there to prepare meals; we don't have to worry about strangers knocking on her door; and Poppa will have one less property to look after.  So the last while, we have been busy.  Poppa has been preparing some of her furniture (cleaning and repairing) so she can have it in her room, while I have been going through things at her house in preparation to list it for sale.  As you can imagine, that is quite a task as she has been in that same house since 1958.  However, we successfully got her settled with her furniture there and hung some pictures to help her feel at home.  She got a new mattress, bedding and television, and a chair from our place that fit nicely into the room.  She seemed happy, but tired, when we left yesterday, and was looking forward to trying out the new bed!  Meanwhile.....
........... look at this adorable trio!  Auntie Colleen sent this and it definitely deserves the Picture of the Day award.  Here is what she said:
"For the second year in a row, Mom Squirrel has given birth and raised her kits in our back room. They are too cute for words and keep Gus endlessly fascinated. Today I was looking out the window and saw they have made a hole in the corner of the roof. It seems when Mom goes out, they run up there and peek out to watch her in the back yard. "

Thank you Auntie Colleen........... please send more!
