Isabelle is Four
Izzy and her litter-mates were abandoned in an ice chest on the side of the road. Someone brought them to the shelter, and that’s where I went looking for a kitten. She chose me, and we went home together. I took her that day to the vet; one of my best friends works there. Celia picked Izzy up hugged her, and said, “Little girl, you don’t know how lucky you are.”
Izzy got shortchanged in the stripes department, and she has trouble keeping those socks pulled up. 😉
Today is her nominal birthday. Happy Birthday Isabelle!

All Saint’s Eve, Trinity Parish Church
Our Parish Church Choir, with some help from University Music Faculty sang Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem on All Saint’s Eve. My wife Kathy, along with Michael Rorex and Terrie Sanders were soloists. Particularly nice was the Pie Jesu with the two sopranos. That morning, we had six baptisms during the service and we called a roll of our own Saints who have passed from this life.
One of my favorite touches are tables in the front of the church with photos of those we love, even though they are gone.
Kathy’s Dogwood Tree
This little dogwood is about nineteen years old, and just about six feet tall. A couple years after the boys and I planted it, Coco, our Lab puppy chewed it up, and almost killed it. I let it alone, trimming what I needed to, and it came back. Then a few years later, in 2002 a limb fell out of our oak tree, and smashed it to the ground. It is back, and blooms almost every year. I like seeing it from my window as it is one of the few trees that change color here in the fall.
