Niece's confirmation

I attended my niece's confirmation today. I left for my sister's house yesterday after our walk outside. Precious took his first ride down a slide. He didn't like it. We met the neighbor girls playing on the playground with their father. Precious loved the attention and went under a tunnel with the girls on both sides watching him. I rushed out the door when I laid out extra litter, water, and food. I needn't bother. It looked like one cat peed once in one box and the food and water appeared barely touched. They must have been too stressed. When I came back, the kitties were shut up in the bathroom. I smelled poop and found it in the shower. It was still moist so they must not have been there very long.

At my sister's house we had chicken noodle soup for supper and I slept in a spare bed. There were 2 spare beds and I picked the one with a pillow and blanket on it. Breakfast was huge cinnamo rolls 3 inches tall and 5 inches wide. We got ready for church and were off. There was a big crowd at the church. We took all the necessary pictures to document the event. Then my baby niece wanted her picture taken so I snapped a couple of her with my sister.

My niece's bible verse said a small light is never overcome by great darkness, or something like that. After the service, my mother had difficulty waking up my father. I thought he just fell alseep during the service, but no, he was all pale and had trouble stirring. He finally got up and went to the bathroom. We sent my brother to check on him. He said he light headed for some reason. We offered juice but he turned it down.

We ate dinner of snadwiches and chips at my sister's house, and cake. Before we left my niece open her presents. She got crosses for walls and necklaces, a Precious Moments figurine, lotions, a quilt, money, and my gift certificate to amazon.com. My college niece talked about her experiences of college; a smoking roommate who ate her food (the swiped Snickers was the last straw), people who smell like onions and spraying the room after they left, foreign exchange students, and a guy from California who called her up terrifed that there is white stuff falling from the sky (we call them flurries), and the friend who introduced her to a new pastry (I forget the name). I told stories about wacky coworkers and cats.

After I got home and let the cats out of the bathroom did thye start to eat like crazy and went in the litterbox a few times. Now they sleep on the sofa cuddled against my leg. Post later. Bye!
