Thank you Cinnamon Granny. My only problem is brother is out west and cuz is out east. Both would be too far to get to if we needed to “bug out” . Brother is taking care of our other two brothers (& families,ex military) out there. Been talking to my sisters but I swear it’s like talking to a barn door with those two. They live in the present, really don’t think anything THAT bad will happen. “They’ve been through Hurricanes and flooding and came out okay” Direct quote from baby sis. Hopefully I can get her daughter and SIL to continue to grow and put up stuff. They have a gorgeous garden that came with the house they bought. When we were down there last June I was talking to SIL about how to put up the stuff they were already growing. I just hope he followed thru this year and will continue to do so. Enough about them or this will turn into a nasty rant.(if it hasn’t already LOL)
It looks like we’ve lost the tomatoes this year but the peppers and salad greens are still going strong.DH forgot to have Son 2 come over and water the plants. We’ve also added to our home. Second cat, Chip. Miss Chloe was not too happy we were gone so long and vet said she should have a buddy as we have always had 2 cats. She licked herself bald in a couple of spots and then threw up all over the basement because she was alone, cat sitter wasn’t there 24/7(she’s our vet tech). We brought him home today and WEEELLL, so far she has hissed at him AND me (I smelled like him) and won’t go near him. Yes he’s isolated behind a fence in our bathroom, she can see and smell him but can’t get near him to hurt him . Hopefully she’ll settle down and make nice with him soon. IF she won’t accept him we’ll have to return him. It will be the first time in my 65 years, that I couldn’t get cats to get along with each other. So if you all would send a few prayers upstairs that she’ll come around soon, I really would appreciate it. Thanks
