black dog continued

So today I go to post the picture of the dog, stating he is a found dog. I go to the first pole, and there is a lost dog sign! Layla, started smiling in the car as I drove her home. Incredably funny good dog. Turns out that is where my daughter kept her horse, when asked about a reward, I replied I just wanted permission to fish in the pond on the back of the land. Happy ending.

I don't pick up dogs. You must understand that first. I don't pick up dogs. So why do I have a dog in my garage? Okay this dog is different, he has a collar and he has one of those special stay- in -the -yard thingys on the collar. So someone wants this dog. I don't pick up dogs...with out collars. This dog was walking in front of the car, it is a black dog, it was night, and we were headed toward a busy intersection. This is only the second dog I have ever picked up in ten years. "Dog you better feel lucky" because I don't pick up dogs. It has been a strange day. The dog thinks so too.

This is one of those days. It is day that happens in novels but not in real life. I did not even want to get up.
But LATER when I was in the check out line at our local grocer's, magic happened. I had to write a check because my debit card had gone all funny. I hate to write checks, and avoid doing so at all costs except hunger. So I recognized the older gent in front of me, an ancient professor. He forgot part of his order so I ran it out to the car to him. He looked so awful, thin and sooooo very old and frail. So there was a little delay when that happened. My check would not go through the little machine and after a while, a toe-tapping while, somebody else came to rescue the checker from my errant check. More time...I was so ready to leave. Then when I turned there was Amy!!! I had longed to see her for years now. There are stories out there about teachers who made a difference in a student, well to this then seventh grade teacher ~this student was special. I used to have "Lunch Bunch" in my classroom after a verbal tiff with the English teacher. I ate in my room after that and soon I had about 10-12 students eat with me. They were irregulars to some teachers, but each was special to me. We had holiday parties, with table cloths and candles and decorations. Amy was part of the lunch bunch. We all would listen to music hold forums...laugh and cry together. I have not seen Amy since her last year At Ramay Jr. High. My heart jumped when I saw her. It was a red letter day that started out blue, wondering if I was worth two cents to the world. I would have missed her if I had not had the delays. I hope for more in the future. Amy and I are having lunch at my favorite place, her suggestion: Hugo's. The sun is warm and I saw daffodils today blooming in my neighbor's yard. I see the post man it is one of the days you think you will find money in the mail! It has been a wonderful day.

I have in my hand the most amazing work of art. Not only is my doll (see flickr) absolutely the most beautifully crafted...full of creativity....mysteriously she is me!!!! I feel a strong connection with the creator of the doll. She is full of symbolism and a treasure to my heart. Lisa what more can I say? thanks this is a really fun thing to participate with others.

2002 to now

Well I looked back at my Kalho post and I did forget the date it happened in 2002. I have learned how to be since that time. I am active again, and the man on the street would never know what I have been through. The credit goes to an amazing team of health care providers and God.
I love the creative process but the computer is putting my creative time out of balance. I am not a freq blogger, but love getting email! Today the sun 's warmth will melt away the remains of our snow. I fed the birds and Virginia Satir, my cat, loves watching the hopping little birds and squirrels who eat more than their fair share. lizzzzzzzzzzzy
