Thanks again for prayers for me & my family & friends & our pets, especially my friend Beth. Beth enjoyed her birthday celebration with her sisters, but some family issues surfaced, and Beth is not sure she wants to go to any more family gatherings. She also has a bit of sadness that she feels every day. There is a cat in her neighborhood who comes around every day-- likely to be a stray-- and she plays with the cat & possibly feeds it. She doesn't want to get too emotionally attached, because she & her husband plan to move in a year or 2, and she can't take the cat with her. I hope there will be another person who can take the cat in & give it a good life.
