This,That and Something Else!

We are leaving for Little Rock Monday and will be gone for three days. Luckie will be staying at her usual doggy motel, a la veterinarian clinic. She is not fond of boarding even though the attendants seem to love her, with comments like 'she is SUCH a sweet little dog!' (You can tell how distasteful this arrangement is from her picture.)

Hmm, they should visit Luckie on Sunday [Luckie - Home Alone: Graze or Hunt? ].

Saturday my husband chose his Toyota Tacoma and we unloaded a bunch of cash at the dealership. It wasn't his exact dream truck which is harder to find since 2010s are due in September-November.

Also, Saturday we had a lovely young lady, Hannah, 14 years old, come to our house and help me dust, for a donation to her missionary trip. We surprised her with a sizable donation, which we would have given, anyway.

Hannah made it known in our church bulletin she wanted to work for travel money, so we allowed her to dust for two hours. I worked along with her. We feel if teenagers express a desire to work, we should, within reason, accommodate them. Otherwise, they may expect everything to be given them throughout life.

Hannah's work was very helpful, as I am very allergic to dust (mites). My exposure to dust induces asthma attacks, wheezing, etc. This allergy among many others poses a question I have never solved: Do you dust and induce planned asthma, etc., or do you let it lie, and have random asthma attacks, when you move something?

Saturday evening there was an impromptu air show over Bull Shoals Lake and our house. Some hobby airplane club was having a fly-in rally at Gaston's Resort. The demonstration show of Russian and Chinese planes was interesting.

The "operation aborted" seems better, but not cured. Since I use Internet Explorer to browse, too, I encountered several "OAs" on other sites as I played tag in PhotoHunt. At least one person said he got an OA as he left tntchick's PhotoHunt to my blog Saturday.

If it keeps up I'll change to FireFox. I used and loved Netscape Navigator for years and finally followed the world to Internet Explorer.

I'll have my laptop in Little Rock. The motel in which we are staying has free Wireless Internet, so I'll be a happy camper.

Saturday PhotoHunt - PLASTIC

PLASTIC(S)

Plastic (Recycling)

This photo is not a very original or artistic idea, but recycling PLASTIC is one way to contribute to multiple disciplines and efforts to save our planet and reduce the "greenhouse" effect.

Each type of PLASTIC is marked by a number inside the triangular recycling symbol. The number indicates the type of resin used in the manufacture of PLASTIC.

Recycling PLASTIC in US requires separating recyclables by number and by color. This process is somewhat labor intensive.

After sorting the PLASTIC(s) are transported to a recycling center, or some communities provide curbside pickup.

Unfortunately, the pictured recyclables are headed for the landfill, because the owner would have to transport them over 30 miles, burning more gasoline which also contributes to the greenhouse effect.

Sometimes decisions to recycle are burdened by opposing decisions. Which is the wisest choice?

Saturday PhotoHunt - In Memory

IN MEMORY

The now deceased friend who gave me this bentwood rocker,

a Wal-Mart special, because I regretted not purchasing

an original designed bentwood rocker in Morocco.

My Mother who rocked three children in a green,

covered wire weaved rocker, often two at a time,

and read them Bible stories in the process.

Two unmarried, great aunts (and sisters) who moved to Texas

with my, then infant , Mother, in the early 1900s,

had rocking chairs on the front and back porches,

and inside of their modest home.

My husband's Mother who mothered four children,

under adverse conditions

(and buried one child prematurely).

The Empty Chair-

in familiar rooms,

at family holiday gatherings,

at quilting circles,

of estranged friends or family members,

at coffee klatches,

at bedside of a sick or dying friends,

at wedding receptions,

at group support meetings,

in churches and classrooms,

at fellowship gatherings,

or Life Group meetings.

Is it your chair?

The Painting the wall -

A French watercolor by an unknown Parisian street artist

given me by a French woman who worked with me in

the Navy Exchange Accounting office, Kenitra, Morocco.

PhotoHunt Saturday - Purple

PURPLE POCKET

A cheap, sloppy purple sweater, bought at a local dollar store has been resilient to rough-and-tumble wash-and-wear. It has been more comfortable than several more expensive versions.
