 Dear Auntie HiC,

I was preparing for my scheduled 1:35 afternoon nap on May 2, when the windows shook from a thunderstorm!

I found the storm quite entertaining, as I share Mom’s fascination with meteorology. I particularly enjoyed the pea sized pieces of ice falling from the sky!

Despite their bravery, Kat and Rocky are terrified of storms and quickly took cover under the bed.

As the storm passed, I found myself bored, washed my paws, and slumber soon followed!

Enjoy the video! 😹

Hey friends, do you like thunderstorms? Every dog in Mom’s life has been terrified during bad weather, and she is extremely sympathetic.

❤️ Cali

Dearest Cali

Auntie HiC does not like Tstorms or lightning.  I would have been snuggled under the bed with Rocky and Kat.

Angel Madi would run to our half bath, wedge herself between the loo and the wall.

Lovingly Auntie HiC

MOL BOL LOL

The meaning of HiC

A bit of background first.

In 2006, long before I blogged, I met four ladies, Bette, Chelle, Kathy and Kit in a chat room all about Alaska.  We had a grand time email and discussing our love of the great state of Alaska. Kit, mom to Kat, Rocky and Cali.  I've known Kit and Chelle almost 20 years. Chelle was born in Alaska now lives in Florida.  Every day I email Chelle and Kit.  They are the sisters I never had. Bette whom we called 'Our Bette' passed away in 2017.  Kathy no longer emails.

Now how I came to be HiC

One morning on of the gals was replying to an email.  It started 

'Hi C'...but she hit send before she complete spelling my name. I thought she was just shortening my name. I wrote back if we are gonna shorten it lets go with

HiC, 

which is one of several shortened versions of Cecilia,

Cil, Ceal,  just plain C

Dear Auntie HiC,

Mom never asked Kat or Rocky this question! 

Don’t I look innocent? 😹

❤️ Cali

MOL MOL that innocent face could never do any thing bad; however, no telling what the Calio brain is working on.

Cali anytime mom asks if you are/have done anything bad.  Your answer should be....Mom girls just want to have fun and rule.

WE all know boys just drool and wait for da Girls to entertain them.

Lovingly 

Auntie HiC

Kit would like to thank everyone for your kind comments today!!

She will keep us posted how things go with her treatment for her back

Awww Monday from Georgia...



 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus    

Dear Auntie HiC, 

Mom’s achy-breaky back has been giving her fits for quite a while. She finally saw doctor who gave her a prescription for Medrol Dosepack.  She’s schedule for another MRI mid May, and hopefully will receive spinal injection, & be on  the road to full recovery. 

Mom has always an active and healthy lady, is now facing significant challenges due to her back pain. This setback has been deeply discouraging for her. This is the main reason The Peeps cancelled their annual RV trip to Colorado.

We’re happy to report  the steroids have already kicked in & she had a whole new attitude day.  

She was able to walk on the treadmill,  & then took a walk in our woods, enjoying the many beautiful Mountain Laurel bushes . 

Friends, if you’re feeling discouraged, depressed, or despondent maybe these words will provide comfort & hope. Remember, it’s OK not to be OK. 

Get outside! 

❤️ Kat, Rocky, & Cali 

Dearest Kat, Rocky and Cali and YOUR sweet Mom

The mountain laurels is gorgeous I have never seen it..well not that I knew what it was seeing.  I am so happy mom has seen improvement with the new med‼️‼️‼️‼️giving her a great attitude day. The close up photo looks like a very fine China cup

Lovingly Auntie HiC
