Just to say hello

I've had a few people come to

my mind which I always trust is

God whispering to send them a

card, so I need to get busy

and get a few made.  This is

one I made this  morning:

I think it would have been much

better if I had inked the edges of

the white panel.  It would have

stood out against the white

card.  If I ever make another like

it, that's what I'll do.  it was hard,

though, to get the angle just right

because it kept moving.  I finally

got a couple corners glued where

I wanted them and then moved on to

the other two corners.

I'm hoping to talk my dad into going

to the animal shelter in a little while to

look at the kitties.  He wants one so

badly, and I think he needs a

companion, but I think he's also a 

little nervous about getting another

cat.  It doesn't help that he is very

overwhelmed right now which is

an excellent reason to get a cat

in my opinion.  He's very sad

right now and feeling quite a bit

of guilt for not being able to keep

my mom at home.  Not to mention

that he is also grieving.  It's a barrel

of emotions that he needs to share

and in my experience an animal

is the perfect person (yes, they are

people and you can't tell me otherwise)

to talk to, cry with, and just have

someone else in the house.  Please

keep him, and my mother as well,

in  your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you.

Happy Friday!
