A fine write Gold. You beating up that dough there?! What has it done to upset you? lol.
I would punch cushions, but not if they had pictures of animals, etc on them.

Thanks ANDY ~ Have heard the CATS DUET several times but only once in the flesh (or should that be FUR) a great fun piece. In addition to their 100 positive drawbacks even CATS have the odd bad trait ~ and nocturnal singing is one of them. In my book however its reversed with D * * S many more NEGATIVES than POSITIVES ! Thanks for sharing Poem & Purrrrrring ~ Yours BRIAN

Andy,
I concur with all that Unsub wrote with regard to your write’s content!
As you know, I can empathize with your situation! I know you’re thinking of Joyce every day...how could you not to?! She’s the love of your life!
Do rest up this week...at least physically!
I know how important it is! My own days with my mom are getting more difficult as each day goes by!
Thinking of you...relaxing, relaxing, relaxing!

Personally i adore cats. Such a fine life form.
Very entertaining nocturnal challenges. Keep us posted, will one of them disappear or become a defeated shadow of its former glory.
A great subject for your superb writing.

Heehee a fine write Gold. Some don\'t believe me if I say they can\'t tell the difference between me and two cats fighting!
Ahh, there\'s a smallish tortoiseshell cat in our road.
Also another one the same, with its companion, a more tabby sort.
Also, a very large but friendly black-and-white one that roams about. Too heavy to pick him up!

Well I guess you know what I think about cats - or rather their irresponsible owners. Nevertheless a great fun write Andy.

I thought about your write for hours. I, too, lost the love of my life under similar circumstances. I felt helpless, and incredibly sad. The worse part for me is a sense that I failed him. It\'s been four years now, and I\'m still grieving, trying to sort things out in my heart and head. I have not yet found the collateral beauty in his and my tragedy; but, when I do, I\'ll be sure to write about it, as I hope you will. Take care.

Thanks ANDY ~ Love the\"QUEEN of SHEBA\" we often have as an entrance in our CHURCH Either from CD or the ORGAN with violin & cello ! 37 Years for second time round is good run ! Friends in our Church Group use \"respite care\" and view it with a mixture of \"freedom & guilt\". When either Husband or Wife had to go permanently into CARE ~ some have described it as \"worse than death\" because they feel so alone and helpless. Within our Church there is a good corps of Carers & Helpers & Visitors ~ its like having a FAMILY of 100 on your doorstep ~ AMEN BRIAN

A fine write and clip Gold. We had some similar family matter, though not dementia. Sadly, the person passed away some years ago.
Any more \'openings\' seen in the \'bubble\' as it were?

lol, quite a small thing, just thought how interesting if the Pigs from the attached poem could have pipes to their symphony, check out the poem:
The pigs and some piglets trot out at regular intervals
having just left their dirty muddy pool coolly refreshed
their long hooters ahead of them twitching blaring warm air
then disgracefully and predictably the honking starts with aplomb
Each one of these pigs has its own particular honk
though to you, me et a listening ear it sounds the same
but honks come with stylised messages and its own tone
and inform us about the mischief brewed in the muddy trough
Honk honk one honks while another starts on a tangent
seemingly saying hear this one and produces a foghorn honk
a little piglet skips up offering a little honk then honks it out
some more and one can see a cheeky smirk on little piggy\'s face
A sow produces a belter honk with bad attitude as sows do
splattering mud in its wake and everywhere showing passion
that\'s the way to do it she added expertly before honking again
some boars trundled in honking loudly in abandoned unison
Hear now the symphony of honking conducted by a leading gilt
totally in her element her hooter held up her trotters in a mud pile
the sows and gilt with their big mouths open and shut relentlessly
and the boars added fitting choruses with gusto again in unison
Now The myriad of honking sounded quite like the Fool\'s Overture
apologies to Supertramp but methinks the pigs were in the know
a passing visitor to the farm ask the farmer what\'s the palaver about
\'Oh just take no notice of them, he says, they are all mad raving swines\'

Your write reminded me of the Zampognari who played their zampogne at Christmas time in Italy when I was a child! I really liked the sound!
Thank you for the share!

Your poem offers a great message! If we all followed it, imagine what a wonderful life we would enjoy! However, I’ll be the first to admit that it’s not an easy task!

Thanks ANDY ~ All I would say is a BAD MOZART composition is still better than most other COMPOSERS GOOD compositions I enjoyed listening to it but I did get the JOKE in the end Loved your POEM ! Men are great \"FIXERS\" often with Dire Consequences ! Most ladies I know ignore them and they go away. We had a Chief Technician called MAC (Irish) who was called MISTER FIXIT ! 5 times out of 4 he did and order was restored ~ BUT the fifth time he almost destroyed the College ~ Like TRUMP he believed Health & Safety was a CHINESE MYTH ! Thanks for your sound WISDOM ~ Please check my Poem and a Bonus from FRANK IFIELD ~ I Remember YOU ! Yours BRIAN

Andy,
The beauty of nature combined with music...and that’s what we’re soaking in at the moment! My mom’s wish is to enjoy whatever time she has left surrounded by the mountains she was born near and the music her parents enjoyed listening to!
Right now she’s rocking away (in her rocking chair) under the pergola! She’s enjoying the memories of her youth as I am of my early childhood!
What a wonderful and beautiful world, indeed!
Thank you for the great share!
