New Raccoon Kids and Some Gorgeous Sunsets

Mama FINALLY brought her 3 kids for a visit.  They're THISCLOSE to eating out of my hand.  They watch intently as I feed their mama.

This is the 5th or 6th generation for us.  Looking back, the babies always appear in threes in Mid-July.  They give me such great pleasure.

Mama hates these hot summer months, as she can't get my attention.  We keep the a/c on and the house closed up.  Spring and Fall, we have the house open to get a breeze through the screen doors.  We'll be watching TV and hear a "rap rap rap".  It's my girl knocking on the screen door on her back legs looking in.

Sadly with the doors closed, we can't hear her knocking.  (Thus, I'm constantly getting up and peeking out the window)

We've been having KILLER sunsets this past week.  Glorious!

Pretty Sunsets from Last Week

Sunset Looking EAST on May 5th

This reflected our "dark but hopeful" mood after hearing about Dom's cancer returning.

All is Great Here

Got my results back from Dr. C.  Total cholesterol is high (240), but HDL, LDL and Triglycerides are all at the "optimal" range.

So, I decided to blow off Dr. "Charming" (cardiologist) and head to the beach for awhile on Tuesday.

I've been around smokers 3 times in the past two weeks....once spending the night at Wendy's house.  Wasn't even tempted.

Am now switching between my original 36 mg. nicotine, 24 mg. and 18 mg.

(Just placed an order for 18 and 12 mg.)

Cooking a beer can chicken and garlic/mushroom quinoa for dinner.

Life is good.  Will call Dom's oncologist tomorrow to check on his remission.

Have had some spectacular sunsets this week.  Wanted to share them with y'all.

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there! (I miss you and maw every day, poppo!)
