Howdy!

Our situation has altered

we are doing what we are able to 

"make it through"

 

I thought I'd post here

in case anyone who knows 

will understand

we have NOT disappeared

 

we are looking for safety

please pray

 

-g-

 I miss those days.

I finally asked why i was "let go."

the answer?

 

Someone was jealous.

-sigh-

 

I'd sure like another opportunity

 to share

and serve

 

It's going to be terrific fun

seeing how all of this

works together for Good. 

 

Surely

there is A Plan.

💙

-g- 

 

Have you ever met a Shoebilled Stork?

 

I have only seen pictures

and once a video clip.

It would be fun to meet one someday.

Don't You Think? 

 

Today

 We went to check out a fancy day care.

When I go to work,

Cinco goes to day care . . . 

It isn't safe to leave him

at home.

 

We heard there was a spiffy place

maybe a bit safer

with good hours,

protection

and affordable

and

We visited twice in one day

Which was nifty

 

BECAUSE

we met a man who worked the front desk,

saw some dogs playing

and

when we returned

we met the lady boss

Who we REALLY liked

and 

 We are pretty sure

we'll be attending Day Camp

at this splendid place

very soon.

 

oooooh!

 

What a Good Day! 

For a Long, Long Time . . . .

Golly, It's been so long since I've posted

I seem to have forgotten everything 

  

Isn't that comic?

I've forgotten how to be

whoever I am

 

-giggle-

 

Asking for help is useless

BECAUSE

People remember the who i was 

and want to take 

what they think I have

 

Except

They've already taken it

and

The one culprit

remaining

is evil.

 

Ha!   This should be a terrific adventure

because 

I used to live with my face in a book

OH YES!!!

I loved to read.

 

(Now, I try to encourage young folk to read

which is more challenging than one would think

because

the world is different now.)

 

Anyway,

For my own sake - I'll blog more

and 

find my way 

I'm certain there is a well worn path 

for me to follow

others have been here

I'll simply join the trek.

 

Love & Love,

💙

  I'm having a super challenge 

so far 

 surviving - 

If it's what you have to offer 

 please pray.

Hurray!!!

 Here it is!

Remember me trying to explain

I was trying to earn 

a Turquoise Horse?

 

I'm pretty sure i explained it was/is a Turquoise Horse Badge. 

Well, Ta-daaa!

Here it is.

 

I earned it by typing 750 words (or more) everyday of the month of June.

and

I managed the task

and

NOW I am happy to have earned this marvelous badge.

 

It's from a program called 750 Words

 

wait

I'll see if i can find the link for you

because you might like it . . 

Here it is:

ps - I'm about half way to earning "Turquoise Horse" yippeee!!!

Graduated "Advanced Training" Test was HARD . . . He was Stellar!!!

 

Turquoise Horse

 

I am being cheered on by a friend from far.

I haven't ever met them in person.

But, they are wishing me the very best. 

I am on a quest for a Turquoise Horse.

If I don't manage to earn a Turquoise Horse

I will be disappointed

BUT

Of course,

I will try again

in the future.

😊 

-Permanent Part-Time-

I've spent so much of my life

Singing and Playing Guitar

 

a good life

 

with a few unpleasant interruptions

still

an interesting life

 

Things have been shuffled around so much

I don't seem to have a proper definition.

-golly-

 

Now,

I'm multi-purpose

Teaching and sharing songs & stories

 

correcting class work and encouraging young people 

 

Here is "my permanent-part-time family"

 

💙

 

 

What I did . . at the mention of "color"

 Oh, giggle - 

I was goofy off after an excellent day

and thought I'm get colorful with pencils.

 My dog got to check out a new Day Camp.

He LOVES IT

He'll play there tomorrow when I'm at work.

 

We have started our Advanced Training.

WE are preparing for our Good Citizen Test

so we can be certified besties

 

We still need a safe home

It's going to be wonderful

I KNOW

Because

Safety has taken so long

it must be because

Life is going to be grand.

💙 

 

-Challenges-

 I remember being told challenges make us stronger.

I hope this is true

because

I'm experiencing a bunch

one after another . . . 

and

Now,

when i think I can see the terrific outcome towards the end

at least 

where there seems to be a break

time to "breathe"

Another "challenge" pops up.

 

-dang!-

Okay, okay, we got this . . 

 

Looking forward to 

something

good

 

 

🎜Tell me something good! . . . tell me, tell me, tell me!🎝

 

-g- 

Pen & Paper . . .

 Today's Sketch

 

and - I'm reading:

I've read one other book by Noah Gordon.

Both of them kept me good company . . 

This one . . gadzooks, it tells of another turbulent time in history.

I highly recommend.

In fact, I suggest we read all his books.

💙

-g- 

 

hmmmm -

 I discovered a post I made - was no longer playing . . 

perhaps that is just as well.

Times are 

odd

hm???

 

SO, here I am

wanting to share a book that touched me:

It's a fictional retelling 

of True Stories.

 

It's a terrific thing,

having a reading list 

so I can move along to the next thing

 

Because

Important as this story is to me 

and

How I soaked up the story . . 

It's best for my heart

to 

"move along."

 

Do YOU have stories that rivet your heart?

I'd like to hear about them.

 

And,

YES!!!

I recommend this book.

It's about True Relationships

through very disturbing/difficult/hard times.

 

If you decide to read it

I'd like to hear about it.

 

💙

-g- 

What to do?

I was sent here to serve

a long time ago.

I'm almost used to the idea now.

 

There has been joy.

There has been abuse.

 

-sigh-

 

I am reminded of stories in The Text

servants were sent 

to attend to a task for 

The Master

and

things did not go well for them. 

 

Isn't that the silliest way to begin a new year?

 

ack!

 

I hear stories from all over the planet

that demonstrate this story 

 

It's time to celebrate!

Promises are about to be kept.

 

 Brilliant New Year!!

💙

-g- 

 

 

I used to

travel around this region

with my teeny camera

and

take pictures

to share with you

BECAUSE

this place is 

very different

from the place I came from

(where we lived)

 

Thinking to post something today

I found this

from i have no clue how long ago

I DO remember taking this photo

and

Today seems a good day to post it

BECAUSE

there was once

a young lady who 

said 

"YES"

 

 

 💙

-g- 

Yep . . It seems I'm not "HOME" very often . . . (sorry.)

 I am reading:

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek

 It has been keeping me company 

for a few days

-

It's really terrific, having my head in a book again.

The weather has been nice

(a gift this time of year)

So, Dog, Cat and Lady

Have spent time outside -

sniffing

and reading together.

 

I saw a page while looking for a graphic of the cover for you

let's see if i can find it.

 

HERE:

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_Woman_of_Troublesome_Creek

 

In case you're interested.

 

I'll make a point to "do better"

meaning, I'll endeavor to post way more often . . 

In between,

 please "wish" me well . . . 

I'm learning to overcome

one teeny step at a time.

 

Oh!  I meant to tell you

I purchased this book used . . . and kept it on my shelf way too long.

Now, I am sorry I did not reach for it sooner

AND

Real Grateful 

havin' it for company right now.

 

Wishing The Best of Everything to YOU.

💙

-g- 

Thought I'd say hello . . .

 I was listening/learning this morning . . .  

and started to scribble with a favorite pen

then added some color pencil.

The original drawing is NOT mine

THIS drawing is a wonky attempt to try

the fun 

I saw . . . 

and,

It was fun . . 

and

The learning

(although sad)

was good . . . 

and

here:

 

 I don't know who did the awesome one I tried to copy.

I'm pretty sure they used water color.

Still . . I miss you . . . so, i thought I'd say hello

by sharing my morning.

.💙
