Ivy, my bad bad bad aide. She's incorruptible. I've tried

Tell us about your visitors…

Whoo-hoo! Fiddy-cent corn dogs at Sonic. Ivy went and got us some.

The Lil wrecker has a black cat costume. She has the cat ears on.

Apparently I was out of the loop.
Every kid and grandkid who had family here came to trick or treat up and down the halls.
My grandwreks included.

DIL remembered to bring candy for my room.

Whew! That was a mess. Wore me out.
Poor Ivy. Up and down all evening.
My afghan ain’t gonna get made like this!! (Ivy knits and crochets all the time)

Sounds like a keeper!

Corndogs and grandkids both!

I bet that was worth being tired out for.

Now get some rest!

Yep, Ivy is a keeper, and maybe she will eventually learn to coexist with cats. Dang it, now I want a mustard-covered corndog.

So glad you’re back, Beck! And sorry I’m late to the party. I had surgery yesterday morning. (I could tell it was Halloween: all the docs were wearing masks.)Yay on you getting to see the grandwreks in costumes…AND the dogs, both corn- and tail-wagging varieties!

Bayliss has no tail.

Dang. I forgot. How about slurping. Does Bayliss slurp?

Sense of humor: staying strong

Beck, it’s good to see you posting.

I hope you’re getting better.

Bayliss wags his whole backend. It’s very cute.

I am. Mine is minor compared to what you’ve been through. I was just explaining why I didn’t hop on the “SO Glad You’re Back,” Beck bandwagon sooner. I do worry when you’re not around. Does that count?

I’m so happy you got to see backend-wagging Bayliss! I suspect, though, that he was even happier to see you!

HBD,S!

Yes, it is.

Checking in on @Beckdawrek and @nelliebly, how are you both doing now that it has been a few more days?

That’s so sweet of you, carnut! Doc sys I’m doing well. Beck, you need the Good Health Fairy more than I do, so I sent her to Arkansas. She’s leery of Bigfoot, but I told her to float like a butterfly, sting like a tranquilizer dart, so she’s on her way.

I thought Beck was already in Arkansas!

Chirp… Chirp… … Chirp

I thought you went “meow (blub) meow (blub)”

Any news at all?

I’ve been worrying, also. It’s not like her to be silent for so long.
