buggy

Did you know that dried beans are the perfect environment for the breeding of armored black beetles? Soapy water for drowning seems to be the best way to permanently rid your food stores of these pernicious pests.

Mom got an unexpected visitor today, one of her grandcats, Coby. Mom has been talking longingly about the benefits of cats, so Sis C brought one of her goofy family cats for some TLC.

It sounds as if the cat visit was somewhat of a success, though I don't know how well the cat mixed with grandguineapig, Oreo, Brother B's newest household member. Apparently, great minds think alike as far as the health benefits of animals, but c'mon, a guinea pig? No contest, the cat wins, paws down, even a goofball like Coby.

Sister A leaves tomorrow and I won't be back until next Saturday. The care and feeding of mom will be left to dad, Sis C and Brother and their families.

Mom is doing a bit better, but the intake situation is still quite a bit of work and she's weak from her hospital stay. She does better with someone there to keep her eating and drinking on a regular basis. I'm looking forward to getting back to Hawai'i to help out.

I would like to order some sunshine and dry weather for my visit.
