Gosh, I should really do
something with this blog. Just too darn lazy, I guess. Okay, here are the list
of updates of my life.
We had to say good-bye to two
of our little darling furbabies: Bingley and Darcy. They were two grey-striped
tabby cats, ten years old. Each were failing and suffering. It dawned on us a
few days before Christmas how unfair we were being to them and had them put to
sleep. Strange as it may seem, for them both to go together was right. They
came into this world together, came to our house together, lived and loved only
each other, and now went to heaven together. Yes, I believe animals go to
heaven. I mean, why not? Animals are far more innocent than mankind. The house
seems empty without Bing and Darcy, even though we still have four other
furbabies.
I had a birthday. Not saying
which though. I generally dread birthdays and look upon them as yet another
reminder that I have accomplished absolutely nothing. But that was an
especially good day. I think I wore a smile for most of it.
In June of 2015, I am going
along with the C.A.N.D.L.E.S. Museum on their tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau and of
the city of Krakow. Holocaust survivor and Mengele twin Eva Mozes-Kor will lead
us. Her tour groups are the only ones with access to the infamous Block 10,
where Mengele and the other Nazi doctors conducted their experiments. OH. MY.
GOSH. So psyched. Words cannot do justice to my enthusiasm. I applied for my
passport and have made a couple of down payments. Cannot believe a dream of mine
is finally coming true. A part of me fears that I’ll wake up and it will fall
through or something bad will happen.
Don’t forget, the 27th
of January is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
No doubt there will be numerous documentaries and interviews on TV, but keep
your eye out for Wolf Blitzer’s special interview with Eva Mozes-Kor.
That’s all for now. But I am
sure I’ll be back with more information on the trip to Poland in the coming
weeks. All for now!
