Coincidence? I don't think so.....

Good morning! Last night's game was postponed because the grounds crew forgot to leave the tarp on the field and as the rains came....the field was so wet that if anyone played on it, they would have ruined the turf. With that said, a night off for all.....



And so, Tink and I joined Betty, Scooby, and Big Sis and attended the Happy Together Tour at a local venue. The bands included Gary Lewis, Chuck Negron (Three Dog Night), a member from Grand Funk Railroad, Flo and Eddie from the Turtles, and Mitch Ryder. The singers were in great form as was the audience...OK, sort of. We were by far the youngest in the place. With good, functional hip joints, we were able to get out of our seats and dance. The rest of the audience....well, they kind of sat and enjoyed the concert. There were lots of canes and many trips to the bathroom by the guests, but on the whole, it was a nice group and the music was fun. It was a great way to spend a summer evening...music...family....venue....let's do it again (as the Beach Boys would sing). Honestly, it has been years since I last attended a concert.









No, it was not the Rolling Stones....Beatles.....Beyonce....it was Flo and Eddie...and guess what? We had an amazing time, although I am not sure about Tink since she texted all night. Yet, she says that she had fun....

Speaking of our Tink....this is weird, so let's ponder this event....

On the way to the concert, Tink was chatting away about everything....and I mean everything...so, sorry...sometimes, I tune out and figuratively change the radio station in my mind (sorry Tink)....but then, she said something that has me a bit freaked....

"Mom, you know my friend K at work? She has four children and an ex-husband....their names are....." I stop listening since the names are not important.....

"Well, they have this dog that had puppies....."

"Uh huh...." sigh

"There are ten of them....." sigh...welling up a bit

"They are maltese puppies...." a few tear balls fill the eyes...stop listening....now or I am going to blubber before the concert.

"Mom, they were born last Monday and one girl looks like Diva....." Get me a tissue, stat!

"Mom, don't cry...."

So, what she was saying was that her friend has a dog that had puppies that are malteses (like Diva) and were born on the day that she died (in my pathetic arms with me filling the room with enough tears to water the plants for a week)...what the heck?

Is this a sign? Am I reading too much into this story? Is it really true? Is this a coincidence or something that I need to look into? She was a dog, for crying out loud, yet, this is way over the top even for my crazed mind.

So, let's think.....the day Diva passed, these puppies were born....one looks like Diva. I can't...I won't.....it's too soon? Or is it? Am I supposed to follow up on this and get this Diva-look alike? If I don't, will I regret it when the Diva look alike is taken by another family? Now what? I am not ready....but if I pass up on this dog, am I passing up on fate? karma? kismet? Will I look at this dog and cry because she is not Diva?

I don't want another dog...yet I do....



I don't want another dog now.....yet I do....


I don't want my heart ripped out again....yet I do....



With that said, I need to get my head examined.....I have an acupuncture appointment in an hour, so I will have Needles stick a few extra pins in my head....perhaps my brain is scrambled.....now what?



Stay tuned....

Peace!
