"Mom? Is your heart broken because you miss Pearl?"

"Yeah, a little. Where did you learn about broken hearts?"

"In Star Wars: Episode Three, Padme's heart gets broken by Anakin. Heart breaking means you're sad."

"It does."

"Yours will un-break later, right?"

The heart of this man - so beautiful and inspiring.

My latest up at Main Street: My un-plans for Spring Break.

Some days you just need a little dancing baby goat.

Happy Sunday.

Measured

"See how big the galaxy is, Mom?"

"I do."

"I measured. It's 100% wide and 200% big. That's big, Mom."

"It is."

"I made it myself."

"I don't want to do swim class today, Mom."

"Why not?"

"The kick-board part is too hard."

"Well the way to make that easier is to practice."

"No it isn't."

"Yeah, it really is."

"Mom? You don't know everything."

"I know a lot."

"You don't know all the Star Wars guys. You don't know Ponda Baba or Joruus C'baoth or..."

"Point taken. But you're going to swim class."

"Oh, man."

Farewell, Our Pearl

drawing from here

Friends,
I am sorry to report that our sweet cat, Pearl has lost a brief battle with a fast moving cancer. She was a swell kitty and a sweet friend. In her memory, I am linking here to the story of how we met.
We will miss her deeply.
Don't forget to hug your people - the fur ones and the other ones.
Lisa

"Mom? Can you come here? They said this lady on the TV is Carrie Fisher."

"Yeah, it is."

"The same Carrie Fisher who is Princess Leia?"

"Yep."

"She doesn't look like Princess Leia."

"She's a little older now."

"What is she doing on the commercial?"

"She's selling a program that helps people to lose weight."

"Mom?"

"Yeah?"

"This is all very confusing."

"Yeah."
