Spit On A Mitten...

Loved My E~Mail Today!

The new growth over Winter always amazes me...
All the reddish is 'new'.

Good Evening All!
OK, so it's been a while again. Thank you for the notes, yes I am alive!

A while back I had mentioned that one of Casey's fellow patients (TP/AIT) had simply disappeared. We had met McRick at the hotel upon our arrival to Minneapolis. He had his surgery 2 days before Casey- I'd spoken to him once after his surgery- on Unit 6B, then he was just gone.
I hadn't heard anything from him.
I had lost his mothers email address, and so always included her in my prayers for him too.
Coming online late this afternoon, I had an email from him. OMG! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw who it was from. He is still waiting to go home, but should be released tomorrow after his doctor appointment!
Say "YAY!"
...And then add a HUGE sigh of relief too.

Casey had a dentist appointment today. I spoke with her as she was going in, and haven't heard anything since. Imagine she could be quite sore as they were to fix a cracked (off) tooth. Ouchy.

From The Old Farmers Almanac come these words:
"Still come the flakes of white,
Like blossoms pure and light."
–J. Hazard Hartzell (1830–90)

I don't know who this Hartzell person was, but it's clear to me that they didn't have a forecast that calls for 6-10" of snow on Thursday.
ugh

I really thought we had enough after last week.
Those snowstorms "hid" my front porch steps once again.

hehehe
I do love Maxine!
I actually have to get some washer fluid (soon).

.
.
Punk and I spend time outside for now though-

She runs and runs, chasing that little squeak ball of Milly's.
.
.
?

And when I do not pay close enough attention, she "hides" her ball.
Burying it in the snowbanks and then "finding" it.
Fun(ny) to watch!

.

..

By the end of the day she is completely pooped out!
As am I.
hehehe

Yesterday started out kind of chilly- About 5 degrees. Kelli had asked if I would run down and take the blankets off the horses around noon.
I'd spoken to Casey in the meanwhile, and she was itching to get over there herself.
A few minutes after noon, my phone rang...

It was Casey.
The blanket was off Miss Breezie, but Miss May was not cooperating in the least. (It has been a while since Casey has been around the horses lots, so Miss May wasn't having anything to do with her).

I went down there then.
May wanted to play "keep away" from me too, so I grabbed her ball and banged on it a few times.
She came running then!

.
.
?

.
.
But still didn't want to let me take her blanket off.
I told her "fine, just keep it on," and turned toward the gate.
She immediately came to me, and was quickly disrobed.
I really don't think she had "disremembered" Casey;
She was just having too much fun playing with us!

Casey with Miss Breeze.
Miss May on the left.
Casey has a dead animal on her head.
hehehe

.
.

And it wasn't long at all before Miss May was loving Casey..

.
.
?

And Casey loving every bit of it too!

.
.
I'd better close for tonight and get my jammies on before the news.
Hope all is well in your own little corners!

Love to all!

XOXO

Oh, and for those of you that might not have been around a year ago, you may not know that "DISREMEMBER" is actually a word...

Now this, from my previous entry of it.


disremember • \dis-rih-MEM-ber\ • verb: means to forget

Example sentence:
"'It was the British who did it,' I said quickly. 'I disremember the place and time....'" (E.L. Doctorow, Loon Lake)

Did you know?
English has been depending upon the word "forget" since before the 12th century, but in 1805 a new rival appeared in print -- "disremember."
A critic in 1869 called "disremember" both "obsolete" and "a low vulgarism," and later grammarians have agreed; it has been labeled "provincial and archaic."
In 1970 Harry Shaw opined that "disremember" was "an illiteracy," adding, "never use this word in standard English." (By 1975, Shaw amended his opinion to "this word is dialectal rather than illiterate.")
"Forget" is indeed a vastly more popular word, but "disremember" still turns up occasionally, often in dialectal or humorous contexts.
