There were a TON of dead people in the obits today! I mean, they are all always dead, but there aren't always so darn many of them! And I will get right to the highlights as soon as I tell you about how my a/c is not working. And it is about 1000% humidity outside which makes it even worse inside to feel sticky AND hot. But I am suffering in silence. Cause that's the kind I am. The long-suffering-in-silence type. Heh! Not so much!
I have tried to be really respectful to the dearly departed and their remaining families and sometimes it seems like I just have to share the first AND last names with you because they are so priceless together. How can I do that and still maintain some decorum? Oh, and by the by? It is 88% humidity right now. and no a/c.
If your name was Kermit V. Bjorge would you go by the nickname of BJ? You know what Kermit BJ did? He fell asleep in the arms of Jesus early on April 2 at the age 68 after a battle with cancer.
Next was a really cute lady with white hair that looks like she used those little pink foam rollers at night. She was apparently dressed and waiting when the Lord came to take her home on April 1. I bet the rollers were off and hair was all in place for that trip! You know where families put "in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to such and such"? Her family put "in remembrance, the family asks that you read the Twenty-third Psalms." Awww, isn't that nice? I like that.
Eleanor, 93, made the transition from physical life to immortal life on Friday. While Ernest "a truly great man of the "greatest generation" exchanged this life for one even better on April 2."
Sandra gently flew away on angels' wings as she entered the Love and the Light of God on March 31.
Most interesting family names this week goes to the family of Mr. Jesse E. Tatro. He was married to Alice. Both of these are good first names, right? Their children had pretty good names too. Now we come to the grandchildren and some people just shouldn't name babies, as you will see by the list here:
Adam, Marcus, Victoria, Sean, Ryan, James, Pam, (pretty normal so far) Brandy, Taunya, Brian, Jess II, Christina, Evelyn, Jolyan, Andre, Westley, Elise, Mireille, Cheyenne, Hailey, Lorcan (LORCAN??), Yorick (????), Asher, Cole, Caden, Layne, Skye, Kalani, Adrianna, Cameron, Devani, and last but not least Aryanna.
Whew! That is a lot of grandkids and it runs the gamut from Pam to Yorick. Very interesting, is what I am saying.!!!
Ok, this brings me to my favorite obituary of the week. I am not going to re-type the whole thing, just the highlights because it is priceless! And it will make you wish you knew this lady! I am betting she was a lot of fun.
Maureen K., age 71, picked up her Darts and Bingo Marker and continued her journey with our Lord on April 1. She is preceded by her Parents and Sister. Survived by sister Muralee, daughters and son-in-law Bernerd and Lisa, Robert and Linda. Grandchildren, Zachary, Patrick, Destinee, Desiree, Cory, Serenity, Hunter, Tiffany, Rocky, Kristine, Daniel, Andrew and Kaitlyn. She loved Life, Bingo and Darts. (Is anyone else loving the random Capitalization???) For so many of us that called her "Ma" or friend; we will always miss her and think of her often.
Very sadly, there was a small child in here. A beautiful little girl who went to be with the Lord on March 30 at the age of 11. The last sentence was "In Kelli's honor the precious gift of becoming an organ donor will benefit many lives." Doesn't that just tug at your heart?
I am off to get something cold to drink and sit under a fan in the dark where it is cooler and wait for the a/c guys.

Random thoughts
When I last posted it was Saturday and I know you have been anxiously waiting with baited breath to find out how my a/c saga turned out. Can you even believe that Mr. Big Ed called the a/c guys to see if there was anything they could do or recommend? Me neither, but he did. And can you further believe that they sent someone over to fix my a/c? At 8 p.m. on Saturday night! On the 4th of July! He was here during prime fireworks shooting time! Now that is some job dedication, people!
He got it up and running and I was so grateful. Now I have to figure out how to fix the ceiling in the laundry room that has huge gross rusty water stains on it and replace the light fixture that had water running in it. I am really leary of that fixture now because after it dried I turned it on and a weird smell and some smoke came out from around one of the bulbs. That does not seem to be normal behavior for a light fixture. I think the ceiling needs to be replaced but Mr. Big Ed thinks we just need to scrape the cottage cheese crap off and re-paint it. I don't think that's right. But I will do some research to find out what really needs to happen.
Oh, I need to post some photos of the new lovely chain link fence too! Nothing like going in the backyard early in the a.m. in my nightgown to let the dogs go pee and look over and there's the Colonel! Hey Colonel! It's just me in my gown. Me and squatting dogs.
Speaking of The Colonel, yesterday me and Sparky were sitting on the front steps enjoying the morning view and he says to me, "Mama, look over there" pointing in the direction of TC & MB's house. So I did. And what do you think we spy? THREE GIANT TURKEY BUZZARDS!! That's what. These ginormous turkey buzzards were roosting on a big tree branch that runs parallel to the ground. They were all facing north (away from us). Odd buzzard behavior. So I called TC & MB and no answer. That meant I had to go over there and scope out their yard for dead critters and such to see why the turkey buzzards were there. Actually there was a 4th buzzard on a different branch acting as a lookout. Nothing dead there. All we could figure is they were en route to some other place and just stopped for a breather.
The whole time watching the turkey buzzards I kept thinking about the scene in the Jungle Book where the buzzard/vulture guys are talking in their British accents "Whatcha want to do today?" "Oh I dunno, what YOU want to do?" "Oh, I dunno, what YOU want to do?" Back and forth like that. Ha!
My Gato Pato has perked right up with all his drugs and seems to be very happy and alert. The kids are saying he's "on the juice" what with all the steroids and such. Poor Gato! To be old and sick and now he is being libeled!
I have 2 clients who are due in the next couple of weeks so that is exciting! Looking forward to their births. Both babies will be welcomed into very loving families. Woo Hoo!!
And now I am off to do laundry. Oh the joy of weekly chores. Be still my heart.
