The Good

 They had a poetry event in conjunction with the baby girl's showing and her dad was invited to receipt some of his poetry. So we went to Philadelphia for the weekend and he got to recite his poetry at her showing. 

A couple of her paintings from the show.

Later we went to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. They were quite beautiful. We saw quite a bit of wildlife: birds, geese, koi and a racoon.

 

The Sad

We put Faux Paw down last week. She was nineteen. Her heart was still strong and she was alert but everything else was shutting down. Her back legs no longer worked and she couldn't even drag herself around.  My fondest memory of her is when I was in rescue and adopters would come to the house. She'd sashay up to the car and escort them to the door.

 This pic is back in the day when she was still a sweet young thing. She always reminded me of Pepe Le Pew's girlfriend.

And The Ugly

Hands down, New York traffic. 

AND

I took my allergy tests and got high marks on almost everything. HaHa.  The only thing I tested for that I'm not allergic to is penicillin.  Yes, I am allergic to dogs and cats AND trees, grass, weeds, dust and mold.

Someone is spreading a rumor about her that just isn't true and can ruin all of her hard work in getting into Advanced School. What fairy would do such a thing? As if that's not bad enough, Thistle's dad goes missing. Not a single fairy in Tinselville has seen him. He's vanished like pixie dust. Her mom is distraught, and Thistle is worried. Where could he be? Thistle and the Flutters, along with Dusty and Moss, are on both cases. Can they find out what happened to her dad and solve the Bad Fairy rumor? Thistle hopes so!

AND Any Dr. Fauci fans out there? I love the man. Isn't this doll great? My Sis-In-Law made it. Great job, Jan! Supplement InformationAny one out there take supplements? My doc had a couple of recommendations for me.
For sleep issues. NATROL Melatonin TIME RELEASE.  I've taken Melatonin on and off for a long time, but didn't realize you could get a time release version. Brain sharpener. NOW Acetyl-L-Carnitine. Can you imagine, he thought I could use this????  Choke. Choke. Hack. Hack.  Mother's Day To the moms out there, did you have a great one? The HH and I went to Blowing Rock. It was a good day. We hadn't been there in over a year.  I know it was prompted by COVID, but I got a chuckle out of this sign.
 Last year, the boy got me TP for Mother's Day. This year the HH got me a box of rocks.
For the garden 😉 
What about you? Got garden? Cats? Love Fauci? Take supplements? Have a good weekend?
