There was a ball of fur curled up on the computer room bed a minute ago. I looked at the thermostat and it read 70° degrees. No wonder! It was cold in here. I turned the thermostat up to 75° degrees and it feels downright toasty in here now. I think the furball is about to stir.

We're Not Receiving Calls Today...
My call was simple enough -- I wanted to know if my father put my cigarillos and Cokes out on the back porch as has been his custom this week. I hated to drive all the way over there and they were still inside. I would be so disappointed. I've got to write down the new alarm code.
Firstly, I called the home phone. The answering service picked up the call and it was my mother talking saying she couldn't answer the phone at the moment and to leave a message. It was like hearing a ghost speak from the past. Hearing her voice sent chills down my spine.
I then called my father's cell phone and got dumped into voicemail after a few rings. I am sure my father was thinking that I wanted my medications early today and was avoiding me.
Well, I threw caution to the wind and drove on over to my parent's house. I noticed all their cars were there. The X5 and mom's Civic were in the garage. Dad's CR-V was parked in the driveway. Dad's Ford truck was parked at Charlie's house. Thankfully, my drinks and smokes were sitting in the chair on the back porch. I didn't tempt fate and try to knock. I gathered my bag of goodies and drove home.

I have heard of people saving messages from answering machines from now deceased loved ones. I would imagine that it could be hard to hear.
But would be nice to know you can hear their voice again..
After Fred died, our daughter had a car break down after midnight in another state. When my phone rang, it was Fred's voice saying, "Honey...Honey..." It shocked the poop out of me!! I do NOT know how it got to be her ringtone! It was so weird.....
