These Golden Years Are Something Else!

January 25, 2021

Good morning.  It feels a bit warmer this morning, even though it is not.  Temps are at 20F degrees.  But, the wind might not be blowing and that makes a difference.  My phone app says that Friday will be our coldest day this week.  Nice.

Let me tell you about my interesting Sunday.  Late in the afternoon, I decided to take a nap.  And nap I did.  For hours!  When I woke up next morning, it was still dark out, only around six o'clock.  I got up and made my breakfast and coffee.  I like getting an early start on my day.

After I finished eating my breakfast, I got a text message from my daughter Deanne.  The time on it was 6:28 pm.  Oh oh.  Something's not quite right here.  It's Monday morning at my house and still Sunday evening at her house.  How can this be?   

I had planned a tasty meal for my supper and now I felt cheated out of it. Ah, but these are my golden years.  No biggie.  I'll have that nice supper tonight.  As my daughter Deanne said, now I have something to look forward to.  

On a brighter note, I started working with the "Grape" and "Violet Splash" yarns.  Oh my, another pretty dish cloth.

You know, I have two pocket wraps almost finished.  The first one and mine.  I just have to sew the second pocket onto each of them.  Why am I procrastinating?  I have no clue.  So maybe I'll make that my project for today.  It might not get done, but then again it just might.

I found an image on the web and just had to borrow it.  It's exactly how I felt all these years with my precious Pogo.  It's good to know that others feel the same way.

I've started checking online for another little dog from a shelter or rescue.  So far, I've had no luck.  I was told by one place that animals are not being placed during the pandemic because of not being able to do home checks.  I was also asked, "What will happen to your pet if you die?"  (this is because of my age)  I said that one of my daughters would take my doggie home with her.  The shelter lady answered "That's not what we have in mind for our animals.  We don't pass the animals on to someone else."

Everyday on Facebook, folks are sharing photos of the animals that they have just adopted.  How are they able to do this  and I can't?  At another website for a rescue place, there were four pages of available dogs.  Only four of the dogs were available.  All the others we not adoptable.  Really?

Today I spent a little while looking for available small dogs online, but so far I haven't found any that are available in my area.  A lot of the ads are misleading.  They say one thing, but when you check them out, you find something else.  This could be a reason why so many folks go to a breeder instead of a rescue shelter.

Ah well.  I'll keep looking.  So, till the next time, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
