A big help

 A while back I bought these...one is kept downstairs and one upstairs where my sewing is.  They are something else I have found so very handy to have around.  I don't do anything crazy with them...I would not trust myself to reach up in a cabinet and get a glass or anything breakable.

I use them for picking things up off the floor...a lot of the time little pieces of fabric that has slid down the backside of my sewing table...but even in front.  But it sure saves on my knees when it is in behind things  and saves on my hips and back just normal.

Every time I use them I am thankful someone came up with the idea and also that I finally had sense enough to get them.

Roger had another good day.  I guess everyone has days they don't feel good.  But I am always so glad when he gets back to what is now normal for him. 

From Lorelei

 It's Gus again...he is my grandpup....Lorelei sent me this and the one below the other day.

He is just such a sweet dog...and so loves his daddy.  If he has to work beyond Gus's bedtime, Gus whines till he comes home...and soon as Jeremy is there, Gus is in his lap, by his side, claiming him as his own.  Letting him know he was missed.

I won't risk saying Roger is all better, but he does seem to feel better tonight.  He felt better yesterday morn but when evening came he still did not feel too well.

So we will see how it goes.  

Artistic view

 This has been published before.  I have no idea how I got to this, but I still like it.  It is Cougar, but whether first or last I am not sure, but I think the second one.  I would dearly love to be able to hold either of them again.

It has been busy the past two days for me...I won't go into details.  Nothing actually fun though...and part of that is I am just slower than I used to be.  

Last night Roger said he was not feeling too good, but did eat a little bit.  Tonight he is refusing anything.   Says he just feels sick at his stomach.  So will see how he feels.  I have had that feeling a few times myself and it did not amount to anything.  But it always worries me when he feels bad.
