Thanks MxM! I am HIGHLY ALLERGIC to Poison Ivy, so I have learned to recognize it everywhere it lurks..... it is even at the lovely camp we stayed at. I usually end up on Prednisone when I have it.
When I was dating my DH he hit a buck driving me home one night. I thought I would save one of the antler prongs as a souvenir. Little did I know that deer like to roll in Poison Ivy.... I ended up with it all over my face and neck. One eye swelled shut and I had Mick Jagger lips..... BAD BAD BAD! I am amazed I am not all scarred up from that little bout! On top of that we had Homecoming the next Saturday!
Anyone who took the Lavender soap and the shampoo, it will not be ready for use until the end of June.
Bad business with the cat...... I hate making decisions like this. Poor baby was down to 7.14 lbs.... he once weighed in at 19. All the kids were bawling when I talked to them before taking him in, and then again after we came home without him. I chickened out and could not stay with him.... I would have been a sobbing mess. As it is now, I look like I had a collagen injection in both upper eyelids and I am related to Rudolph.
Made a campfire tonight so the kids could make s'mores. Wanted to let them do something fun on such a sad day.
So, so terribly sorry! I know that pain all too well. I wish I had words that would help. Hugs to you and your family. 
A wonderful DH who spoils me rotten, 4 cats, 2 doves, 2 rabbits, an old partridge cochin banty roo, a golden Seabright roo, Dominiques, buff, lavender, black, gold-laced & chocolate orps, and some barnyard mixes.
