National Dog Day

Image
  Penny is my constant companion. She can be sound asleep and if I leave the room, she pops up, happy as can be to follow me! This sweet little girl brings Joy to my days in too many ways to count.  I'm thrilled to celebrate August 26th as National Dog Day.  I created this Paper Plate Craft as a FUN, FAST, and EASY project you can use to celebrate the Dog in your life!

I'm not going to do the math...it doesn't really matter..Kathy stopped me after Typing class and commented on my horrible typing. We sat in alphabetical order. I was SE - she was SU so sitting behind me on an electric typewriter Kathy heard --- peck...PECK...PECK... I don't think what she said was mean, it wasn't nice - it just was TRUTH. I was doing it wrong. I don't remember being bothered by what she said...and obviously we are best of friends. The thing of it is Kathy ACCEPTS ME 100% exactly how I am. She never tried to change me. Her room was so clean I was afraid to sit down. My room looked like a tornado went through, and I had just cleaned it. The differences between us are mind boggling - but none of it matters. We have plenty to talk about and learn and grow and enjoy with each other. Kathy was my first REAL friend - she set the standard for all others who followed behind. You had to accept me and not want to change me because Kathy did, so I knew it was p

Treasures from the Beach

Lauren and Alex went to the beach...they brought home shells and sea glass. It reminded me of when Anthony and I collected our own treasures so many years ago. We still have our jar, it sits on the dresser. 

Super Stress

Penny Fell off the Bed... she hit her stairs and hurt her right front leg. I can hardly take it. I sat with her all day Sunday. Finally Anthony said I could take her to the vet. I was so scared she tore a ligament or something by jerking in the fall. I knew it wasn't broken. So Monday I took her to our Vet here on Maude - Victoria Animal Hospital. It's where we took Kody. As usual they were amazing. Because of the virus we couldn't go inside with her. That was worth a Migraine right there... They took her back, examined her, X rays, blood work. I think the price was reasonable. And now I know she is bruised and needs a few days to heal. She has pain medicine to take 1 x per day. Not sure it did much, but we will see.  This WIPED ME OUT. I don't care who judges me. The worry was off the charts. I couldn't concentrate. I had a headache, an upset stomach and just sat with her for 2 days. I was in bed by 8pm last night. Finally I slept, because I didn't sleep Saturd

Graduation Day

Image
It wasn't typical - but it was fun.  June 15th was "Graduation"  - we had a nice dinner in the back yard - then we played Apples to Apples. I have no idea why she would not let me take a picture. But here it is!

Jack is #1

He really is a great cat - but why can't he come sit and cuddle with me while I am watching TV? Why is it always when I am trying my darndest to make progress??? He pushed the 1 key and was "typing" for me.....
