Went to the Urologist yesterday. Infection is still there, even after 10 days of antibiotic. He ordered a ultra sound so that will be in the next two weeks.

Wish I could tell you I feel better. Trying to just keep active and my mind off of me.

Grandson completes grade school next week.They call it " Culmination" here. We are going to by faith, put him in Christian School..

Granddaughter graduated from High School on Wednesday night. I sobbed through that entire graduation. We never expected that with her autism and OCD she would be graduating and she actually got her diploma. The choir sang " Climb Every Mountain" and this grandma wept like one of yorkie's storms! Her autism and OCD didn't hold her back from graduating, Praise God!!

I didn’t know these sweeties cannot walk~

My friend and I were at a Jr. High picnic in the mountains. Decided we were going to capture one and bring it home as a pet! LOL... well... friend got a sweater, and we tried feeding chippy...it seemed nice and “ tame”! When I put the sweater over it, zowie! He made his escape but not before crunching through my finger! Nuf said!

One of Jerusalem's Infamous Stray Cats

It is INDEED a beautiful Day!

Jerusalem
c by LTOS

The Cats of Jerusalem
Are varied and many.
You search for their masters,
But they haven't any.
They climb on the dumpsters,
In the hot Mideast Sun
And Melt into shadows,
When Day is Done.

(Chorus)

We feel Ghosts all around.
We are on Holy Ground.
Jerusalem
It's Something You can feel.
Jerusalem.
I can tell you that it's real.
Ov erwhelmed by the flood
Of centuries of blood.
Waiting for the opening of the Seventh Seal.

The allies of Jerusalem,
On a Hot, Smokey Morning,
Old men play backgammon,
beneath a gray awning,
Kids with machine guns sit high on the wall,
They don't seem to notice us,
Or they don't care at all

(Chorus)

The spires of churches,
And high minerets
Turn their backs on each other,
As the hazy sun sets,
The streets empty quickly,
The shutters are drawn.
Leaving blank stony faces,
Until the dawn.

(Chorus)

From "All In My Good Time" c2001 LTOS

Overwhelming words, ML! Thanks.

Poor Kitty! And I noticed the large heart on the wall also!

Hello everyone at Amy’s Place

Polly, my grandaughter is ‘graduating’ from grade school next week too - and it is a BIG deal to the whole family. They are sending out invitations, and are going to throw a big barbeque, and for two months now, everytime I talk to them, they want to know if GRAMMY’s coming!

Heck, I can’t even find a CARD that says “CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GRADE SCHOOL GRADUATION!!!” LOL!

We were lucky to go out for hamburgers when I graduated from HIGH SCHOOL! LOL!

Anyway, congratulations on your grandaughter’s High School Graduation! What an accomplishment for her!!

Here’s another choir singing that beautiful song:

Don’t worry about the kitty. Jerusalem’s Kitties are the best fed on the Planet! LOL!

Happy Friday, Weinie.

Is Lonestar doing better today? Was she not feeling well yesterday or was she just stressed?

Give her a huge hug.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, JOHNN. Sorry to hear that you are feeling ‘curmudgeonly’ today. Hope you feel better this afternoon. Make sure you get some rest.

Thank you for the BO poem. We all need to be vigilant as to what this ‘Wannabe King’ is trying to do to our country.

Hope you have a lovely FRiday.

[jaycee]

Thank you for some of our favorites in RED!

Hope you have a nice day!!!

[jaycee]

Thank you, Johnn! I really liked your poetry today and agree with it all! Sorry you’re not feeling well. Feel better soon!
