Made it through 1st and 2nd Kings in my 90 day read through the Bible, the upshot of which seemed to be that morally corrupt and incompetent leadership is the rule of civilization, not the exception, offering further evidence against seeking earthly power over spiritual faithfulness—as if we needed any further proof. Even a casual reading of the history of the kings of Israel and Judah makes you wonder why they didn’t at some point say…Wait a second, why don’t we try a woman?
Business is booming which means that paperwork is booming and along with it, opportunities for mistakes. As a consequence, stress level is on the rise.
My daughter and her husband both came down with COVID. Although their symptoms have not at all been pleasant, neither have they been hospitalized, neither is on a respirator. Thanks, vaccines. Kaitlin had it first and just about the time she was getting better, Jon got it. Then something heartwarming happened. My GrandPup, Jackson demonstrated why it is that human beings don’t deserve dogs. When Kaitlin was the sickest of the two, he wouldn’t leave her side, insisting on snuggling up close to her wherever she happened to be. But as soon as she improved, it was Jon’s turn to be on the receiving end of the incessant snuggles…
It’s at times like these when we miss living in the same city as our kids. We can’t cook them a meal, we can’t run errands for them. All Pam could think to do was send them a Door Dash gift card. It stinks.
In other miserable February news, I made my first Winter canvassing of the back yard, spending nearly an hour gathering fallen tree branches, pine cones and a full grocery bag full of Lucy’s bowel movements—always a rollicking good time.
BREAKING NEWS***
THIS JUST IN…My other GrandPup Frisco, just made his first trip to Old Navy where he behaved like a champ and made a new friend. Then he got rewarded with a quick trip to the dog park where he posed for pics and was available for autographs…
Meanwhile, here at home, when asked what she thought about the job I did tidying up her back yard, Lucy replied, “About time…and where is my after dinner treat?”
