Liezel
Liezel looks grumpy, but is a cheerful, comical young schnauzer. She takes the grooming process with aplomb and never holds a grudge. Afterward she and our dog, Lady, romp and tumble outdoors and in the house, until Liezel’s smooth and silky coat is wild and tousled and both dogs are panting. I interrupted this “playtime” to set the little one on the chair to take her picture.
After the morning’s “work”, Gary and I went to the funeral of a friend. The church was full to capacity, with more than 300 chairs filled, and I’m not sure if perhaps some folks were standing. It was a pleasant service with a lovely “tea” served afterward.
Our friend was 86 years old, and in his last days, friends and family heard him say that he was “ready” to go, accepting the end of his life in peace. I knew D. for more than 30 years, and there was a time that I visited and saw more of his family than I have in recent years. He was a joy in many, many people’s lives, and to have him say that he knows his life was well-lived, also brings comfort. Farewell to a good, good man.
So I feel quite drained at the moment. Supper will be simple… homemade chicken soup and maybe a fried egg sandwich for supper (do in TWO generations of chickens at once!). I’ll probably go check out the Yahoo Garden Chat room!
Take care everyone. Thanks for reading my blog!
