In our 70's, my husband and I relocated from friend and family filled Idaho to Portland, Oregon last summer. Our dear son and wife are here and a great blessing, but along came the "virus," plus I can't manage the high traffic and city "planning." Yes, I understand all those struggling with isolation. Your encouragement and positive ideas + obvious love are invaluable gifts. Saying "thank you" seems like a small gift to return, but I AM deeply thankful for your "friendship!"

I always love reading your blog, you speak from your heart and we need common sense now. I lived thru the 60's as a teen, it seems we've learned nothing. <br />I have problems getting my head around why a policeman with 3 others to back him up needed to be such a bully. An unarmed man in handcuffs doesn't need to be brutalized, just let him sit on the curb with someone next to him. <br />And the protests are one thing, the blatant vandalism quite another. What is wrong with people who burn a business or a car? Target didn't have anything to do with what happened, neither did Macy's. A mall 10 min from me had rioters yesterday afternoon in the Macy's. <br />I hope we don't have a Covid spike from all the people getting together to express their pain. But I'm afraid we will. <br />I'm just sad, but it will get better. I have to believe that. The arc of the universe bends toward justice.

I'm sure Lola knows. Emmy Lou is probably going to take a bit longer to adjust. Like leading a horse to water really at her age. The quilt is coming along nicely - such fun to play with novelty cartoon fabrics.<br /><br />And as for the current affairs - I can't believe there are so many unpleasant people surfacing when we should be helping each other to get through this. It is downright scary. We don't seem to have the same level of violence here and it must be worrying to watch and wait to see if it all escalates, but there are those who enjoy power for using it to their own purposes and there are those with common sense to stay well out of the way in the hope that it all goes away. Here we have absolute twits marching like ants to the beaches in droves, leaving all kinds of filth as the toilet facilities are closed - what next typhoid! I'm angry because the behaviour makes it worse for us who want to get back to see our parents and our children without the fear of passing on the virus or getting it ourselves.<br /> <br />Meanwhile I've had a request by a friend for scrubs caps! Guess what I'm doing today! I don't do clothes - yikes! Oh well, I guess it means I will be learning to sew curves!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237828174807811725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88984567166334604482020-05-31T18:32:56.855-04:002020-05-31T18:32:56.855-04:00So glad people stayed positive and Lola is settlin...So glad people stayed positive and Lola is settling in.

So much so that he can no longer work. he was permanently injured and could've died. He could've died very easily from what they did to him.For no reason at all! I mean it was a very Trumatic experience For him and his family and for me because there was no reason. Just completely went bonkers over an accusation made and they swarmed in on him as if he were a terrorist or something. Completely innocent. He's white, hard-working, never done anything wrong in his life- to this day. The police force in America needs to be addressed. It's unfortunate that some use race and various situations to cause Mayham. Things like this occur to ordinary people every day and it never hits the news. I encouraged him to go to the news with it. What good would it do? I feel badly for the black man who died - but it happens to white black purple green...<br /><br /><br /><br />I think getting to the root of the problem with the police force in America is what's important most. There's no excuse for the side effects of this violence that's going on.<br />Sandra Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369992819437905498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-62233725224511348612020-05-31T11:08:28.830-04:002020-05-31T11:08:28.830-04:00It fills my heart with joy that your quilting frie...It fills my heart with joy that your quilting friend show you such support, and I hope my small message helped.

When Dresden and Lola were at the post office and you brought Zoey in, the cats felt their space was invaded by an outsider and they did not want an outsider, they had determined their pecking order without Zoey. Now Lola is without her sidekick, she is not in her turf, she may feel this is Zoey’s turf and therefore is more tolerant of Zoey being present and closer. As Lola explores and takes notes of the scents of the other occupants and their behaviors towards her, she will become even more tolerant. I speak from experience of catching feral cats for S-N-R and snatching their kittens and with the help of my son, taming and homing them. The first cat dictated what went on between all of them. It wasn’t until he passed that the next cat that came in the door (six months after he arrived) became the cat in charge. She would not tolerate visiting grown cats, and she had always been passive. Lola isn’t feeling in charge, the other cat and the dog were there first. And one of the things to help with her loss of Dresden may just be taking her from the post office where she would have been searching for her friend. Bless her and you as you go through this loss.
