Mom & Dad

These are the faces of two of the most wonderful people on the face of the earth, and I love them dearly!
 
They were married in 1958.
 
My Mom was born and raised in London, England in 1940.
Besides being a super Mom/Grandma she has worked as a Bookeeper, data processor, Cosmeticion and cashier, and has owned & operated a highly successful Hobby/craft business.
She is is bright, well grounded artistic, endlessly patient, has a can do attitude, the heart and soul of a saint, and is kindness personified.
 
My Dad was born and raised in Margate, Kent, England in 1937.
He is now retired from the Electrical, groundskeeping & hospital maintenance trades.
He is a devoted husband and Father/grandfather. Dedicated, hardworking, practical, mechanically inclined, intelligent, witty, and generous to a fault.

SKOOKY
 
Skooks is my special feline friend.
She is a beautiful Calico, and has been a member of this family since she was a tiny wee kitten back in 1984. A great mouse hunter in her energetic youth, she is older and slower now, but every bit as beautiful, gentle and loveable.
 
Sadly, Skooky died in early September, 2005. Her Passing has left an empty space in each of our hearts. I will miss her very dearly, but I know that she  lived a long and happy life,  I truly believe that she suffered very little. She was weak and wobbly at the end and just lapsed into a sleep that she never awoke from. She has passed on her lagacy; a small measure of her sweet temperment, and  beautiful soul to Kinky,

Kinky
 
so named because of her kinked-up tail, is a handsome bluerussian/siamese cross. Kinky was given to us, as a fiesty wee kitten by a friend south of the border. She is just over three years old now. She is long and sleek, howls alot, and until recently was a crazy wild huntress. She and Skooks never seemed to get along, Skooky growled and hissed in a very uncharacteristic way whenever Kinkster invaded her space; as a result Kinky became a bit of an outsider. After Skookie died back in september 2005, Kinky suddenly tamed  and became quite affectionate. It was almost as if a part of Skooky stayed with us. Kinky has become so warm and cuddley these days that I have taken to calling her Sweetie.
