my father

[thatguy]

I wished my mom "Happy New Knee" a few years ago for the second time. She's been to Europe on them twice since then and just left for England last friday. She still shows dogs regularly, trotting around the ring with her Skye Terriers (if you watched the Westminster, as I know most of you did, you saw a Skye in the winners circle). Since my dad passed, she's actually getting out a lot more. She seems to have a really active life. I know that's not going to last. The house is big and full of crap. She's been purging my dad's stuff, but there's still more. She also keeps spending money on the honey-dos that he avoided. For the age of the house and her age, I sometimes wonder if that's the best way to spend her money...but it makes her happy, and I'm glad to see her enjoying herself (as I know someday, that won't be the case...)
