Our Bentley

 It was a sad day... Sept. 16th, 2024.

We got Bentley in 2012, he was a year old when we got him. 

(you can read about him and our Tabby in the Cat tab) Our family has enjoyed that *good boy*. He even survived a 7 hour road trip last year from MD to our now home state.

                                                                    Our New home

Our kids liked to joke how much I fed him and how fat he had become. He tipped the scales at 19 pounds at one time. Bentley loved to follow us everywhere, especially whenever we were in the kitchen. I always said he was more like a dog then a cat. He meowed when spoken to, came when you called his name and just enjoyed being in the same room with you. He loved his family.

                                                                     He tried to fit...

Over the last few years though he had slowly started to slow down. His favorite time was chow time (of course!) In the morning I always fed him first. Then I would get coffee and listen to my Bible and then he enjoyed laying half on my lap until I got up.

                                                              Bentley having lap time

He had not been eating or drinking and just wanted to sleep and lay in his favorite spots.

We decided to take him to the Vet and found out he had a tumor. The hardest part was watching him take his last breath and having to tell our kids and Grands he was gone.

                We miss you Bentley and are so glad you were a part of our family!

Snowy Day for Bentley

Snow here in our backyard at our new home and Bentley is happy he is an indoor cat!

 

Happy New Year!

 It is 2024! Grateful to be in our new home and near family! 

We had a bit of snow today so its wonderful to be back in here. We had a wonderful Christmas celebrating Christ's birth and visiting with our kids, grandkids and also seeing some family we hadn't seen in years during the holidays.

I have a Crockpot cooking with our pork and sauerkraut. Yes, we were at our daughters home and missed making that New Years meal! So having it today, so celebrating today.

In my craft room and trying to decide where to begin in my crafting again. When we downsized/decluttered I was able to just keep what I felt was important and I will use. I had so many crafts I bought and never got more into them. So I have my Cricut, Sizzix machine, card making, scrapbooking stuff and sewing/quilting to keep me occupied.

Okay so I need to pick a project. Starting tomorrow, I need to use my Cricut to label some things in my new pantry I have been putting off. THERE, I have a start!
