You'll notice a short lack of entries. I was gone for a week and a half with my kid down to Phoenix to visit the grandparents.
At Grampa's, it was okay, because I had high-speed 'net access and could handle posting almost daily. Then, of course, I went to Gramma's where there's a tin can and two strings: not conducive to the typist and blogger.
Anyway, that's why a few posts are missing.
I'm also sorry to say that my favorite fish passed into the realm of Neptune this past evening.
Fishy, ummm, we'll call him Harry, had a full life as a beta in a bowl. He (obviously a male since he was named Harry) had a good life. Given to me as a present several years ago at Christmas in a vase with a plant, he lived years beyond any other fish I'd ever been associated with.
The morning light streaming through our patio door lit his dwelling in a lovely way, so I thought to take a picture, only to find that this would be, instead, his memorial photo.
