Monday, the beginning of the end...

Coffee this morning, then off to deliver the meals for the less fortunate than I. After I finished, I decided to stop at the Vet's office and check on the cost of final arrangements for Ralphy when the time comes. I found that cremation itself is about $60 bucks and if we have him put down also, the charges go to about $170 and it is a private affair. Ashes could be picked up at the Vet's office. I called Julie and posed the question of burying the ashes on the same plot as we bought for Cheylenne when she died and Julie said that would be a great idea. I will check with the cemetery owner sometime this week. Julie did say that Ralphy is doing great today so hopefully the events I just alluded to will be quite sometime in the future. But at least we are on the same page and that in itself provides solace. I splurged today and bought a food saver at Bi-Mart as they had one of the very best models on sale for $30 dollars off. Seeing as how I don't or at least haven't learned how to can things, I figured this is a good way to put up some food and produce and eliminate spoilage. Now, if I could get a bag big enough for Omar... Oh well, nice thought.
