Charity

Filed Under: Uncategorized

Mama Podkayne turned me on to a good cause where all the proceeds benefit the Food Bank of St. Mary’s which is the largest in the Seattle, WA area. Times are hard all around these days and while I do my share of charitable donations locally, I am glad to be able to do something for a neighbor all the way on the other side of our great country. I am submitting a piece of art for auction, courtesy of Art For Food. The print I’m donating is one of my favorites thus far:
state fair

It is being mailed off this morning. For more information on this wonderful cause, please go to their website: www.artforfood.blogspot.com People everywhere need our help and this is a fun way to offer aid to someone in need.

In other news, I’m sick. YUCK! This morning I greeted the day with a terribly sore throat, and I hate having a sore throat. My nose can run right off my face and it doesn’t bother me as much as a sore throat does! It should be gone in a couple of days though, based on how it affected the boys. Getting my Etsy store ready has taken me a little longer than I thought it would, seeing as how I am the world’s biggest procrastinator! Yesterday a lot got done though and I’m hopeful that everything will be up and ready by Friday. The State Fair print you see above will be sold on the Etsy site, just in case you’re interested. 🙂

The boys and I are going to do some snuggly things together today, since I feel yucky. Anyone make a mean chicken soup? LOL Hope you have a wonderful day!

    When I get sick I love Thai Chicken soup. The spicy with the coconut sweet is just perfect. I’ll see if I can dig up the recipe.

    I hope by now you are feeling better. Something about being sick during the summer just doesn’t seem right to me.

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

This cute little cup came in a pack from @christma This cute little cup came in a pack from @christmastreeshops and it’s bringing all the fall vibes today! Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
