Just Stuff

My foster kittens were adopted yesterday. They were adopted out together. They went to live with a retired couple. They had a cat, but it passed away at 16 years old. They seemed like knowledgeable cat people, and I hope the kittens have a long happy life with them.

My niece Stephanie told me yesterday that she wanted the kittens, but her Mom said no. She told me that she wants to save all the animals. So, it looks like my love of animals has been passed on to the next generation. She sure is growing up and turning into a little adult. Next week she is getting inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. She is only in 7th grade. I didn't get into the honor society myself until college.

Today marks 25 years since my brother Billy was killed. It is hard to believe it has been that long. He was only 13, so he has been gone far longer than he was here. Stephanie will be 13 in February. At the time I didn't really see my brother as being so young, but I guess he really was.
