Musings on a Small Life

  We all know at least one! BTW, my dad had an angiogram and one stent on Monday. The one blocked artery was 90% blocked, so it's good it was caught in time. No word as of Tuesday afternoon as to when they'll let him go home, though. He sounded good, his usual self, when I chatted briefly with him. Thanks for your good thoughts for him. ♥ Comments are off.

I can hardly believe we're at the end of August already. I'm finishing off the month with a few more pics from August 2008. Below: Up close and personal with Nicki. Below: Derry was stalking a damselfly (think that's what it was). He caught a lot of them, he was good at it! Below: Nicki thinking the grass is green on the other side, as always! Below: Derry was full of beans, I have a half dozen pics of him zooming around. I think I had tossed out a furry toy mouse and he was having a great time with it. Below: The boys taking a break. They killed whatever I had planted there, what with lying on it all the time.  Below: A bonus snapshot of Annie feeling silly. I don't remember if there was catnip involved. Have a terrific day, everyone, and thanks for stopping by.

This will be a mish-mash; all snapshots are from a waterfront walk last Sunday. Let's see...I had a nice catch-up dinner with my "old" work gang a week and a half ago: the two who retired last year, plus the remaining co-worker who has been there almost as long as I have. (There's less than two months between the time I started and the time she started, so we're the old guard, so to speak.). We call ourselves the "Fab Four" and even when we're all retired, we'll still be calling ourselves that. I couldn't have had a better group of co-workers. I've been having lots of "firsts" this year (and of course not always in good ways), but more recently I've started having acupuncture, and now this coming week I'll be going for osteopathy for an ongoing ear/jaw issue that my family doctor clinic can't help with. I had chiropractic adjustments years ago, after a car accident, but this will be the first time I've had osteo...

A few "funnies" for a smile today.  :-) Not that I relate in any way to the following, of course. And an interesting word for the day: Have a lovely day and weekend!

More pics from the visit with friends in Brighton a couple of weeks ago, in chronological order. The animals were at the Big Apple petting zoo. Osprey, below, on her nest atop a lamp post in the Trenton waterfront park. Thanks for indulging me! Take care and have a great day. :-)

Still from August 2008. The boys being boys:  A brief tussle, Nicki posing, Derry looking over his shoulder at me, and then Nicki on high alert at the fence. Thanks for sharing the memories with me, have a great day!
