Happy Easter Campers!
How do you celebrate Easter? Or do you celebrate Easter? I shouldn't be so pretentious as to think that Easter is the only celebration during this time frame as some of you may be celebrating Ramadan or Passover. Here at the Wayward Inn, Chef Blaine and Sous Irene like to cook a spiral ham and then use the leftover ham to make a couple of Wife Saver casseroles. Of course, the Holiday would not be complete without watching Charleton Heston in The Ten Commandments. It's one of my favourites. I don't know how many times I've watched it but I have my own Blu-ray copy just incase, which is good

The weather here in the Valley is quite horrible. Heavy winds and rain. We were driving downtown today and the smell of fresh seaweed thrown onto the shore was extremely strong. Strong enough for both of us to comment on it.
I'm going to work more on the Catio in the coming days as Mr. Wilson has taken to climbing the screen and that can be dangerous. If he was to fall with a paw still stuck in the screen it could easily result in a broken leg. Not good. So, I'll make some platforms, a ladder (of sorts) and a caged tunnel. That should keep them busy.
The large housing project - duplexes and triplets - is nearing completion. Each unit is a town house. Two storeys and a basement. I have no idea what they'll be priced at but my Better Half, who has better realty sense than myself, thinks they'll be priced around 650K each. Yes, housing prices are still stupid. No wonder Couch Monkeys are hanging around for so long and it'll be awhile before they can afford their own place.

Today has been a crap day. Not just the weather, which has Left Coast Liquid Sunshine falling in record amounts being driven in at a 35° angle, but the Oma-nator's health has taken a turn for the worse. It has always been slowly diminishing but on Friday, right after our three games of Trouble following breakfast, she said she was tired and wanted to lay down. She hasn't been up since. Everyone is pitching in. Medical staff has been in and out and will continue to do so until the end. Yes, it is sad and we will all grieve in our own way and in our own time. But, this is what she wanted...to pass away at home and not in a hospital hooked up to machines, being pestered by strangers, fed generic stuff that was not made with love and not having her family nearby.
Oddly enough, the cats - both Jack and Mr. Wilson - have both been lying on her bed, which have never done.

Hello Kidlettes!
Today marks a week and a day since the Oma-nator left our family. My Lobster and myself were at her bedside at the Wayward Inn when she passed. As you can imagine it has been difficult for all of us. My Better Half has been doing all of the leg work that comes with a death in a family. The Loin Fruits and myself have been assisting as much as we can with anything she asks of us. We all miss her terribly and for myself I miss passing by her room and not seeing her sitting in her chair knitting another dish cloth or playing Trouble after a meal - we played about 6,500 games since she had moved in - or listening to her remind me that she doesn't want any onions in her food. I'm happy that she is no longer in pain and u will remember the joy that brought to all of us.
