I am so disappointed in the direction that Facebook is going. I can't find anything. I don't see my friend's posts sometimes until the next day and posts are getting deleted by Facebook. It's as if they want everybody to have a wall that is an exact replica of everyone else. We are all different and our walls often represent our personality. I don't like someone telling me how to prioritize my posts. So I will be blogging here and who knows...Facebook may be blowing in the wind for me soon.

Not much Facebooking today.

I have been busy today trying to get donations for a Child Abuse cause I am working on. It is called Army of Angels.There will be a group of motorcycle riders leaving California on April 1st which is the first day of Child Abuse Month and travelling all the way to Washington DC. There will be a send off rally on the morning of the 1st in California. I am trying to get items to fill gift baskets to use for a silent auction. I am really excited to be a part of this. I wish I could be in California to hear the keynote speakers and to give all the great men and women a hearty send off.
In between all that I have been reading Paradise Prophecy by Robert Browne. I am really getting in to it. Then in between reading and making phone calls, I managed to get about three chapters done on my book and I wrote a couple of poems. All that and I think I have a broken ankle.....again. I have it in a foot brace..that's all the ER would do anyway..
So I think it is all scrabble and catching up on my news for tonight....till tomorrow..remember..Wherever you go, God is already there.

Penny's Cataracts

I gave  Penny a bath today. It was not a pleasant experience for either of us. I wouldn't have gotten any more scratches that if I had been in a fight with a dozen rose bushes.  She sure has some claws on her and still acts like a cat after 16 years. She looks so fluffy and smells so nice though.
The sad part came when I was brushing the hair on her face and blowing her dry. I notice that she flinched ( more so than usual) every time I started to touch her face. Upon closer inspection I noticed that she had clouding (cataracts)in both her eyes now. She has had them in her left eye for some time but now they are in both. This explains why she has started to hesitate more when walking and jumping up or down from the couch. I noticed it more in the past two  or three weeks that she seems to be disoriented but now I think she just couldn't see where she was going.
It makes me so sad for her. I know what it's like to have cataracts. I had them removed from my right eye two years ago because I was 98% blind in that eye.Now I need my left eye done but it will have to wait a while due to finances. Medicare will not pay for cataract surgery until you are 65. I guess they figure you can stay blind until then. It is upsetting when you have worked and paid all that money in to a system that doesn't want to give back when you need it.
I guess Penny and I will just have to continue to look out for each other. I will be her eyes for her as long as I can. After all she is my heart.

Penny's Beauty Salon Day

Today is the day Penny visits the Beauty Salon. Since losing her eyesight, she doesn't go as often as she used to. We found that the scissors and sounds around her upset her. So we had to do a search  of a place where they would not leave her alone even for a minute. We were fortunate enough to locate a lady named Brenda that works at our local PetSmart that does an "Express Groom." This is the perfect thing for Penny. From start to finish it only takes about an hour. They give complete attention to her and she is never put into a cage. This is so important to us because she gets very upset in unfamiliar surroundings these days and she has never liked cages. Brenda is very gentle with her and so patient. penny is very difficult to groom these days because sudden movements or anything coming close to her face startles her and she jerks away. I appreciate the time she takes in between the grooming to hug her and calm her down. There are still some special people out there that will take the time to help you out.
I will be posting pics of her sweet face when we get back...In the meantime, we have to take a nap in preparation for the trip.
