Wow ! It's a big November gale .Screens have ripped off the lanai panels and the trees are doing the twist.No matter where I perch I am feeling a draught and the stove just can't get a good burn on. But I am lucky compared to the folks on the south shore. How helpless they must feel to watch all they have under water with the knowledge of so much work ahead of them when the waters recede. God bless them all ! And praise to all the helpers stepping in to assist . These kinds of tribulations cast a community's character as to how well everyone comes together . And we should all ponder our own responses to such diasters as one never knows when our community could be next.
Listening to Canada AM this morning I learned of a beautiful new home just having been built (with no govt assistance ) to provide a home away from home for soldiers and first responders ' families to stay for nothing while the veteran is receiving medical care in hospital. Something very similiar to Ronald Mac Donald Houses for families with children battling chronic and serious illnesses. The house called Honor Home was built mostly by companies,organizations and individuals making donations of supplies ,labour and money and the whole idea was started by one man with a vision and a whole lot of determination. Awesome story !
Update on the critters : Oreo has an anal gland infection and must get more fiber into his diet (he and I both),and I need to make sure I rinse his fur thoroughly after a bath to avoid itchy skin. CoCo has a skin allergy and had to get steroid injections . Oh joy oh bliss ! What's a mama to do ?? Pay up and cry!
Stay safe today in these blasting winds and don't drive unless you must . The Muse
