Mama Kitty waddles her way into our hearts
Dear Readers, I hope you enjoyed the Joy at Work and Lightening Your Mental Load series. Now it’s time to return to the world of empty nest adventures. One common situation I’ve witnessed in this stage of life is the loss of parents and the gain of subsequent inheritances. These can include money, property, furniture, an automobile, and/or even something of the four-legged variety – a pet. We had already inherited my mom’s dog, Rex, back in 2018 when he got kicked out of her assisted living facility.
Letter: Easy step can help save lives of animals
I was saddened to read the letter to the editor by Emily Peak from Westfield regarding the death of her dog. My neighbor told me a similar story about her daughter’s dog that had gotten into the trash and suffocated due to not being able to get a chip bag off her head. After reading Emily’s story, I would like to encourage everyone to use scissors and cut open the sides of every type of bag so that no animal, dog, cat or wildlife will suffer the same tragic end.

Average White Band’s farewell tour lands during Carmel Jazz Fest
Average White Band co-founder Alan Gorrie said it is time to get off the road. The band launched a final tour this spring but will continue to make music. “It’s the touring that is the hard part,” Gorrie said. “Being on stage is wonderful and still exciting. Since COVID, touring has become really difficult. It’s extremely expensive and hard to manage. We all felt it was time to give it our best show. I use an analogy of a boxer — you don’t want to go out when you are on the slippery slope down. You want to hang up your gloves when you are still at the top of your game. You don’t wait until you get knocked down on the canvas. With our age and experience, you know that’s what coming if you don’t call it quits.”
