Thursday, May 31, 2018
As I was sitting here on my daybed wondering what on earth picture I would post today, I looked up and saw my sweet Greta looking at me.

After breakfast I went looking for the dogs so I could pet them for a few minutes before I got ready for work. I couldn't find Balto anywhere. I was perplexed! Then, I remembered that yesterday, I found Blossom lying on the bed in my office. Blossom and Balto have lived in this house for 5 or 6 years and they've never laid on that bed before. I looked again....

First of all, can you believe I have made it 7 days in this photo challenge? I never do anything 7 days in a row that doesn't involve eating chocolate.
Today's photo is a picture of my dad at his cardiologist's office. He is holding a "heart".
Dad got a pretty goodish report from the doctor today. He is doing well except that his heart rate was 44. Dr. Cedarholm doesn't want it to go below 50. He taught me how to take his pulse correctly to check his heart rate and also to see if he is in Afib or not.
Because his pulse is so slow, Dad is having two of his pill dosages cut in half. He is to have a nuclear stress test on Friday, June 8th, and then a follow up EKG and see the Dr back in 3 months.
For your added bonus: Below is a picture of Blossom waiting outside of the bathroom for Scott last night. Her obsessive love for Scott is not natural...

Memorial Day
One of Mom's 7 brothers who served in the military. The only one who didn't come home. I think of Uncle Harold every now and then and wonder what he was like. Harold had finished his tour of duty but volunteered to stay on with his guitar and lead services with the Chaplain. Mom was 13 when Harold died. She misses him to this day.

Walking home tonight I noticed Dad's old tractor and thought I'd snap this photo for today's post. After reading about the new family crest of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, I'd had to say that my family crest would probably have a tractor. Also...some cows, chickens, pigs, goats and definitely cotton; both of my parents grew up picking cotton.
Hmmm...so a tractor, farm animals and cotton. Oh, and Jesus. We can't forget Jesus.
What would your family crest have on it???

Today Mom and I went out to eat and visited her sister Ruby. Aunt Ruby is 93 and has recently moved to an assisted living center. I don't think Aunt Ruby stopped talking the whole time we were there. It was wonderful to spend some time with these two. Mom was the 14th child in her family and unfortunately, only 2 of her sisters are living.
Balto had a big day as well. The Aussie Pet Mobile came to the house and gave him a bath and a groom. It costs more to use a mobile groomer but, it is so much easier on the dogs. What used to mean a 9 hour stay at Razzle Dazzle has turned into 45 minutes in a grooming van in the driveway.
