More rain
Good grief. It’s raining again today… buckets! It started coming down in sheets when I was picking a bouquet for the Bistro which features my cheesecake, spanakopita and preserves. I kept gathering flowers but got soaked, of course. It was worth it, as the gals running the restaurant were thrilled. ,/p>
At the kennels, we have a full house. Almost MORE than a full house. There are ten dogs and a budgie bird, and it’s not even a long weekend; in fact many are staying more than a few days. YIPPEE. I’m blessed to have this work, this patronage, and the company of pets. Even on rainy days, I can groom some of the boarding dogs, as their owners have requested in some cases.
I am troubled today because of a conflict that my brother-in-law has with my mother-in-law. Steve has done his utmost to maintain a family cottage, and nothing he does is ever good enough for the mother. She is always abusing him and lying about him (these mammoth false tales have been overheard often) and he is full of anxiety, frustration and rage as a result. The cottage belongs to the widowed mother, of course, but also the three sons in the family. My hubby is one of these grown men affected by the whole uproar, but only the youngest son and his family live in the same city as MOTHER and near the cottage. The situation is “coming to a head” and I’m afraid that it might be best for ALL the sons to give up on what SHOULD HAVE BEEN a wonderful legacy, but what has become a nasty burden because of the games that the mother has played. My heart feels like it is developing “cracks” every time I hear about a hurtful new incident with that mean, deceitful lady. Almost ALL exchanges with her by anyone have been fraught with peril and deception lately: SHE who cannot be believed.
It is time to go attend to dogs again. At least most of them have the sense most of the time to stay in their dog houses. I like to reassure them and feed them treats in midday no matter what the weather.
Thank you for stopping by. Perhaps I’ll take my camera out in the rain to take pictures, taking care NOT to leave it out here, lol.
