Horseless Carriage Antique Auto Club

We stopped by the cemetery where C's parents are buried to freshen up the flowers.  Directly across the street (two lane blacktop) is the Oil Museum.  My Grandfather and C's Father worked for The Pure Oil Company.  Gathered around the museum grounds were over a dozen antique cars.  These are real antiques, from 100 years ago.  It was a tour of the Horseless Carriage Club.  We took pictures with our new Droids an a few videos. Here’s a video.  (You also get to here the dulcet voice of my lovely wife.)

Katie Was a Jack Russell Terrier

P1010029

She was a typical JRT, which means she was an extraordinary dog.  This is the dog that people like to put in movies and TV shows, mostly because they are so charismatic and smart.  They never fail to steal the scene.  Katie was like that.

She had Cushing’s Syndrome, which is an abnormality of the pituitary, but causes damage to the liver.  Four days ago, an X-ray showed her liver to be nothing but a ghost if what it should have been.

She left us today at 2:45 PM.

She will not be forgotten.
