I’ve just cleaned up some code on this site and hopefully, it has gotten rid of any past problems with pictures loading properly. If anyone is having trouble seeing images on this site, please let me know.
In the meantime, just focus on how glad you are that you are not this person.:
This past week, between dogsitting sweet little Anu & Goldie for Melissa, celebrating our 4 Year Anniversary, celebrating Mum’s birthday, and Bronwen’s “hen’s party” at a day spa, we squeezed in x-rays, dr. appts and physiotherapy. I think we have a few days off now!
Mel’s dogs are super tiny compared to ours, and Anu is especially full of energy. There was a lot of fun and laughter, but it kind of reminded me of watching 2 year olds, with all the supervision required. So funny to see all 4 dogs headed outside in one big group. And, no surprise that I still can’t find one of my slippers! We miss them though, they are a couple of cuties. (I would’ve drawn Goldie as well, but I’m getting rather sleepy.)
The x-rays showed that my arm is healing well, which means that I don’t have to have an operation to have a piece of my bone permanently removed. Bonus!
The garden is now threatening to consume us whole, since I can’t get out there just yet..somehow we lost Gus’s favourite ball today, and it’s probably just hidden in some long grass. Ann and Jordan are going to put the horses in the yard soon, so at least that’s taken care of. . .
And we’ve been invited to Adrian’s birthday party in November, and have to come dressed as our inner super hero - the lamer the better. (Think “Mystery Men”).
Hrmmm..any suggestions would be appreciated. . . .
Just had to share a quote I found at Jen Gray. I think it speaks volumes, and it has made me look more closely at how I treat others and my environment, just in the course of a day:
“In the midst of global crises such as pollution, wars and famine,
kindness may be too easily dismissed as a “soft” issue,
or a luxury to be addressed after the urgent problems
are solved. But kindness is the greatest need
in all those areas — kindness toward the environment,
toward other nations, toward the needs of people who
are suffering. Until we reflect basic kindness in everything
we do, our political gestures will be fleeting and fragile.
Simple kindness may be the most vital key to the riddle of how human beings can live with each other in peace, and care properly for this planet we all share.” ~ Bo Lozoff
Lately, most of my entries have been mainly written as a way to keep in touch with family and friends, and this one is no exception. The only problem is that I haven’t been writing regularly, due to the broken elbow and two lethargy-inducing colds in a row. I think my immune system is shot!
I know this will change, though, so if you’re tired of seeing the same old post half-a-month later, just know that it is a temporary lapse!
And there are plans for a return to artwork, too . . . but one thing at a time!
Here’s a pictorial run-down of my birthday fun, a couple of weeks ago:
Cam bought me some beautiful flowers and a chocolate mud cake cake -and lit 32 candles!!!
(Gotta love the classy 1970’s pitcher!)
Mom and Kathy sent me some great new clothes, and some pictures of my sweet nephew, Isaac.
And, of course, the boys always love to help celebrate!
