Last week started off pretty good then very quickly went downhill. We had to say goodbye to our sweet Maggie Jane Friday after she suddenly and unexpectedly took a turn. Cats often hide their illness and pain and Maggie must have been hiding something for a while, which breaks my heart. She was the sweetest troublemaker, independent and sassy, smart and goofy, kitty. We were lucky to have her in our lives for as long as we did. 
We will miss her very much as she was much loved.
Read Last Week:
I actually didn’t read anything. It was a really rough week.
Reading This Week:
I have certain book series that I save for when I really need the most comfort, and the Jan Karon Mitford series is one of them. After last week, I needed some serious comfort reading so I pulled out At Home in Mitford for some cozy self-care reading.
Posted Last Week:
Homeschool Journey: Nevada, Frida Kahlo, and a Sweet Story About Families
Watching/Listening:
We were all over the place with tv last week. The USA Ghosts, the British version of Ghosts, a little bit of the Great British Baking Show, and Miss Scarlet and the Duke, Season 2. We also finished up The Woman in White which was excellent.
I also watched the Disney cartoon The Legend of Sleepy Hollow as well as the Tim Burton movie for the movie posts Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I have been doing. We usually post them on Thursdays but with the week I was having we moved our post. It will be posted tomorrow, on Halloween, instead.
As for listening, mainly Taylor Swift’s Midnights. Last week I mentioned I was sure how I felt about it, but now I am really enjoying it.
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
So sorry for your loss. That looks like the perfect comfort read!

I’m so sorry to hear about your beloved cat. We lost Bogie last June. We have 3 new cats. Finn, Quinn, and Wyatt. They are more like our children than just pets.

You have reminded me to get back to Miss Scarlet. And I will look for Woman in White.

I am so sorry about Maggie. I’m sure she knew how much she was loved and wanted to be with you as long as she could. It’s amazing how big a space our fur babies fill in our lives.
I hope you enjoy tomorrow’s post…it’s about Taylor Swift!

Thank you Jeanie. I find myself looking for her and still disbelieving she is gone – and I think a big part of it is the suddenness of how quickly it all happened.

The Mitford books are just so calming. All problems are worked out, everything is gentle. It’s just a nice soothing type read.
