Oragmi Squirrels, Funerals, and the Olympics..

Well, another day has passed, and it's still raining. I normally sit and watch Mr. Squirrelly in our yard, as he races about looking for whatever it is squirrels look for in the spring. Lately he has not shown up on my porch. I have a feeling, he met his demise, out on the busy road. I try not to look, and see about such things. As some of you know...I don't drive. I am a passenger full time, and don't get behind the wheel. You will honestly thank me for that. So do the squirrels. I tried my hand at getting my license, but was such a nervous driver, that it just didn't go very well. I am not a woman of physical talent. Never played a sport in school. Never chosen anything but LAST for kick ball. I have a dream, that someday I will be in the Olympics, but till they come up with some more sports that require, less...shall we say, coordination, I think I will only be watching it from my TV. My friends and have an idea, that we will gather umm, unfortunate squirrels, on the highways, and create a new sport of how far we can launch them. We hope they fly further than they ran. Of course, for fun, we would need squirrel funerals (how respectful of us) first. Viewing boxes and ALL!!!!!!!...

I also thought it would great if we had a sport where the participant, would run in a giant hamster ball. Can we say FUN?????? ..And if I fell over, least I wouldn't get hurt so badly.

My Aunt died this week. There will be no funeral. At first I felt sad, and that there would be no closure. But, then I remembered, that my Aunt would be in Heaven. She is walking, talking, and singing with Jesus. She is reunited with her family that has gone on before. There is no sadness, falling, bad drivers, or funerals to attend. There is no need for closure. I don't need to tell her goodbye, merely "See you soon"....Can't wait to get there too!

Oh...and Erin..and my fellow Olympic team...TO THE LEFT, TO THE LEFT!!!!!!!
