january was full of unexpected uh-ohs .... shortly after the new year my father-in-law fell ... he seemed to be alright and refused to go to the ER ... by the time he got medical care it was too late ... he went into a coma and 10 days later died.
we buried him on saturday, 23 jan 2010. Tom and i celebrated our 30th anniversary on the 26th and on the 27th our home burnt down ... a total loss and an investigation yielded no definitive conclusion as to the origin of the fire ...
i am now sitting in my room at my daughter's home ... thankfully she lived next door and it's not a big adjustment for Ranger...
though without a fence he did get into a fight with another dog ... there is a leash law in Wesson, but most ignore it, and the "dog catcher" wants the police to do his job for him ...
anyway ... got the paperwork filed and waiting for the insurance higher-ups to sign-off on the money so we may begin anew.
may the next 11 months be uneventful and dull.
