What Day Is It?

The questions bothering my psyche today are, "How did I get this old, and it's October, you say?"
Today I hope to hold myself to a bit of discipline and write something often. Nothing deep, I'm sure, but at least a little trail of thought to pinpoint my journey. Something like this. Today, this October 3rd, 2009, I brushed my 10 year old Sheltie, D'arcy. Also, dosed her with flea, tick and heart worm meds. She looked somewhat surprised that I had remembered. I'll enclose of picture of the pretty creature, taken after her 'mama' groomed her. So as I attempt to post a pic in the correct position,

I'll do so with increasing befuddlement. Anyway...please forgive the sideways shot. I have tried any number of rotates and saves, yet here it is. More later...

February 13, 2009 St. Valentine's Eve. Love to all of you out there. Ireland is only a half-month away, so I'd better start getting the travel act together. A brief weekend in the mountains will insert itself before I head way East. Our Women's Retreat gathers at Ridgecrest near Black Mountain, NC. There'll be the beauty of the glorious Blue Ridge Mountains and the fellowship of women who are primed for a spiritual lift. :) Now I shall search for a pretty pic from Ireland. Found the unicorn who stands high over a County Tipperary roadside. Took this while Oney and Judy were visiting in '03. We stopped the car, braving the traffic. Also, Rebecca just reminded me that she and Luke did the same when they came to visit me in '02.

So Slan go foill for now. Dot
