Storm Idalia is on its way.

 After 17 years I have learned not to be complacent in the face of tropical storms and hurricanes.  They have a mind of their own. 

Idalia is on its way.  That I cannot change

I have a preparedness container.  It includes lanterns, a Coleman camping stove, flash lights, candles and matches etc.

Of course I have laid supplies in,  including 24 loaves of bread.


                               Tee Hee.

I am as well prepared as I think is necessary.

Except that I'd forgotten about Zion's needs.

So off I went today my local Indy Animal Food Store to get extra Kibble.

It's a great place with old fashioned methods  ( a bit like a Drapery Store at which my sister in law W. once worked in Bristol, U.K.).  

No fancy computerized check outs/tills.  Every purchase hand written on a Billet Doux .   'Tis a slow process.

The line was very long today. I was not the only one who decided to get emergency supplies for their pet dogs, cats, rats, parakeets, hamsters, rats, cockroaches, and the like.

'Twas a patient line.

A very patient line.

Worry is not a problem solver.

But it's O.K. to be concerned for Z and me.

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
