Happy Friday

Fridays have not felt the same since we retired but there is still a sense of happiness associated with the day, eh?  We are extra happy today since we got an eligible dog to unchain!  Lately we have received a few calls but mainly for 4 lb small pups who just need to be house trained,  or people who want a fence because they want to go to the grocery store!  This time we have a family -- she suffers from brain cancer -- and the dog is a rescue s/n/ and meets everything we request, so we are visiting her!  So happy about this.  Our inventory of dogs was dwindling!   

We also got our first grant from Banfield.  $10,000.  Nice.  They want more details than Hueston, our second provider which goes into the mail today or tomorrow. All has been sent to Portland, Oregon now and we should get the check soon. 

Health -wise I feel better than I have in a long time.  The first few hours of the morning are the worst time for me but by 10 a.m. I am feeling much better almost every day.  Still feel best when sitting or laying down -- standing is not great due to dizziness -- must move to wheel-chair when outside. . .first trip today to grocery store in ages -- last time I got sick due to too much activity too fast.  Must move slowly and calmly.  Stay Calm and Keep Focused as the British might say! Think about roses!

So, all is doing fine here.  Father Pat just came with absolution of the sick -- our second meeting with him.   Surprise call and visit.  We talked about peace -- good conversation.  Look foreword to our conversation with Christine next time -- she is the Care Partner's  chaplain.  So wonderful to talk to people who think philosophically as well as blended reality.

Activity now is preparing for Ryan and Sarah and Baby Norah's visit next week and the party next weekend.  

All for now.  

Love,

Peggy
