Bullet points from my world:
1. Last week we adopted a cute little 6-week-old kitten named Ava. To make a long story short (I’ve been working on the longer version, and I may share it here later), it turned out she had some serious health challenges and she passed away just after midnight on Friday. Also see Jen’s post about it (and a picture) here.
2. We went to a wedding Saturday night (the daughter of our former house church pastor). The ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch. The reception was festive, and it was really nice to see old friends. And it took our minds off everything else for a while, which was marvelous.
3. At the house, I’ve given away most of the pile of cardboard boxes and installed some drain pipe extensions. A crew is coming to deep-clean the house tonight, and I’m hoping to touch up the paint on the front porch railings and steps.
4. Last night I rescued my neglected clarinet from the closet and played for about 20 minutes, which was all my poor out-of-shape chops could manage. My new year’s resolution is to start another chamber ensemble. At the time, I had hoped to be done with the house a lot sooner than this. But I figure for now I can at least start practicing again and get myself in shape.
That’s all for now.

Oh my goodness (karmen typing here)….that kitty is SO cute. I am a total cat lover. We have 2. I’m not sure Doug would say he is a cat lover. He tolerates them and sometimes acts like he likes them. Anyone else who owns a kitty is a friend of mine!!!
I love your sweet little kitten.

I wasn’t a cat lover either until I married Jen. Now I don’t know how I could get along without at least one living in my house.
