Chatting About Many Things

 

1. Would you rather sit in front of a fireplace with a roaring fire, soak in a lovely bath, or spend free time on your computer? I love a fire place but I don't have one here in Missouri.  I will choose a lovely bath in my clawfoot tub.

Pet Peeves- Thursday Tumblr

11/7

 

Pet Peeves we all have them.  Here are a few of mine, that I have actually gathered recently.

 

I am such a drama free person that I hate it when I have to be involved in other's drama.

Chatting about Rescues

 

 

• Have you ever gotten a pet from a rescue? Yes our boy, Totem is a rescue, he was a casualty from the housing slump in CA.  His family could not keep him when they lost their house. I am getting ready to volunteer at the local Humane Society.  We have orientation on Thursday!

The reason we call him Totem that he sits like this....a Totem Pole!

I Don't Have Very Exciting Days

I am continuing with the November challenge and today's prompt is, BULLET YOUR WHOLE DAY.  To get this posted today I am going to have to make some assumptions.  I have highlighted everything I actually have completed.

My Favorite Reads

11/3

I love to read.  The prompt today is to talk about a book I love.  I would find it hard to just give you one book that I love.  When I was a child, I loved Little Women, I was like Jo but I aspired to be as good as Beth.

I Feel Strongly!

This is the month that I am going to do something to help out the Joplin Humane Society Animal Adoption & Resource Center.  I am going to start by taking my recycled news papers over to them and signing up for their volunteer program.  Maybe even today.  I'll let you know when I have done it.

The Gift of Spring from Missouri

Mr Bankerchick posted this picture for me. We lived in Missouri for a couple of years while he was going to University. Being a California girl not use to the seasons, I always thought Spring and Autumn were the best seasons. The weather was always an interesting change from California's Hot and Cold. We stayed long enough for DD1 to arrive then left for California again when she was 4 months old and Daddy had graduated. An interesting coincidence was the Maternity Ward at St Johns Hospital, Joplin, is now the Cardiac Center and Mr BC spent a lot of time in the waiting room when DD1 was born and more days when Grandma had her surgery and was recovering. The first picture is the dogwood outside of Grandma's house. The second is by her driveway. I love Spring.

Mr BC is starting for home tomorrow. He will have been gone over a month, and I will be glad when he is safely home. His mother is having good days and bad days but in general is good, a visiting nurse comes 2 times a week, she has therapy once a week and his sister, who lives across the street is close at hand as well as her 2 kids. We are hoping for the best, as she has been doing things her way, not eating enough and sitting in her chair too long. I am hoping that when she is semi-on her own she will realize she has nothing to prove to anyone and will decide to do what she is told, as long as it is not her kids telling her what to do. She has always been stubborn, but usually minded her Doctors. Mr BC says the nurse is great and tells her like it is, I think if she is told she might not be able to live unassisted unless she gets her health back, that might be the carrot to dangle in front of her.
