Well, just got back from visitng my parents in Australia...Dad is doing well but Mom needs some prayers.
She still has a dog named Fluffy who I saw in my last visit in 2003...Dog is a senior!!! She's almost blind & deaf like my mom but happy for her 15 plus years.

Dad has in excess of 20 cats who he feeds & are mostly wild but one really bonded with me & wanted to be petted & sat under my chair while I cleaned my shoes of poo!

They may also have fleas...I don;t know but 2 or 3 weeks into the trip I started to get itchy red bites!!!
Awful 3 or 4 dozen of them!!!!!!

I was really amiss & only took out my camera for a rainbow & some photos of wild horses...
I'm not sure why I did not get some photos of my parents...maybe I just don't want to see them 15 years older..almost unrecognizable & frail... thinking I could lose them any day...

Mom missed me when I left & cried...so sad!!!!

Big hugs to you CSJ! Cherish all the moments and memories.

Welcome back Camelot:) I’m glad you visited with your parents. It is difficult seeing our parents age. Cherish the moments and I’m sure you got in lots of hugs and laughter.
