Almost Friday

 Hello, Hi, and Good Day!  

Have a few things to show you that I have saved the past several months.  Here is the first: There's a lot of this going on.


The truth if I ever read it.  


I have a new vet appointment next Monday for Katie if I can get her into her carrier.  I know she will be just as afraid as at the other place.  I will try to get a second opinion on the Iodine 131.  In any case, I will get the food for cats that is for thyroid problems. 


Here is another saying that rang true to me.  I wanted to share.  

I am still going to therapy for my knees.  One is all better it would seem and the worst one is far better since he happened to have used the TENS machine on it.  It was amazing how much better it was just walking to the car.  I have had the treatment three times.  Hoping for another tomorrow.  HUGE difference.

Guess what?  I will never marry a Yankee.  Well, I was married to one once.  Without him, I wouldn't have had these three spectacular sons.  However. The cultural difference between a Yankee man and a Southern woman if you will (or..change that to a Yankee woman and a Southern man) is truly immense.   The pastor who married us actually predicted that, and advised us to rethink marriage,  (seriously) but we didn't believe it.  Now we do.  Now mind...no Yankee has asked me again.  I am afloat in a whole sea of Southern men.  However, once burned, twice shy as the saying goes.  If I'm fortunate, a nice Southern man will head straight toward me and Katie.  I'll fix him fried chicken,  gravy, and biscuits.   Maybe some green beans boiled with fat back in the water..  Or a small hunk of ham.  Yella cake with thick chocolate icing.  

(there really is a cultural difference in style of manners, cooking, handling life, and so on and on....)

Another Dry Hot Day.

 I guess Fall will come very soon according to the calendar.  However, around here, hot weather continues into mid-October.  Not as humid, granted, but very warm.  Now of course we have the hots and the humids both.  

Saw this somewhere on FaceBook and LOVED it.  I always enjoy "Pickles" and if I hadn't dropped all of the newspaper's subscriptions I had 15 years ago... don't ask why unless you really want to know...I would not miss my favorite comics so badly. 

 I loved Crankshaft too.  The cartoonist segued into some real-life happenings in "Crankshaft" and wrote about them exceedingly well.  He once had several months of storyline about his neighbors, two sisters, and one sister with Alzheimers.   I wanted to write him compliments on his fun but sometimes thoughtful cartoons. However, it seemed he did not wish to receive mail even through the syndicate that put his cartoons out to the newspapers.   I no longer recall his name.   

There are several cartoons that I looked forward to each day, but not at the expense if you will, of seeing what else was in that "news" paper. 

I included this because I mess up with the tense every time just about! 

Guys, pray for me and Katie tomorrow in getting her into her PTU and off to the Vet by 8:30.  Not going to be fun and I dread it.  BYE!
