Sunday September 28th~

The difference between ordinary 

and extraordinary is that little extra...

 It was a beautiful day.  After hours of soccer 

Arvid and I went to a car show in honor of Veterans.  

All proceeds from this show benefit area veterans

 and their families.  A good cause for sure.

There were many many cars to look at.  Arvid of

 course went up to many, and of course was daydreaming 

of owning one.  He has owned a few before, and my

 recommendation to him is not get one again. 

 Whenever we had a classic car he never wanted to 

drive it, was always worried someone would ding it 

up so we ended up keeping it for a while then selling it. 

 It happened too often, so no more classic cars. For now

 he's okay with that until the urge comes again.

Arvid watched a few games.  We had lunch at 

home and afterwards we went to The Landing.  

It was too beautiful a day to not be outdoors.  

We went to another of our favorite places at the Landing. 

 For starters we almost did not find any parking. Everywhere 

was once again packed.  Not sure what is going on, butt he 

weekends are always crammed with people. We sat by the

 bar because all the tables were taken.  Not a bad choice

 after all.  The view was good was even better.

Also everything looks so much better in the glow of 

the evening  sunset. Arvid and I walked around.  Checked 

out a few of the newer places and enjoyed the sunset.

A cooler morning is here.  I went out to feed the 

squirrels and the birds.  Had to put on a jacket. 

 That time is coming.  It's starting to get cold.

To all a very good day.  Another day filled with 

soccer for Arvid.  Sniff has already been prowling 

around and now taking the first of many naps.

The only difference between a good 

day and a bad day is your attitude...

Sunday...Funday

Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off

 with a good head on my shoulders, saying to myself, 'It's going to be a good day!!!...

Now that we have made the decision to go ahead and amputate Brutus, I look at him and I 

try to imagine what it is going to be like for him to have 3 paws. There has been a lot of friends 

telling us how this will not be as difficult as we seem to think and for that we are

 extremely grateful.  Sharing your stories with us and a few even called 

to tell me that Brutus will be a well adapted kitty even with 3 legs.  

Makes one feel better.  Now we await to hear the final opinion of his vet.

  Come tomorrow I will hopefully be able to talk to his vet and just have him go through a little

more of what this procedure in involves.  If Brutus will still be on medications after amputation 

then we see no reason to go ahead with it.  I am sure this will not be the case, but you never know.

Giving him his medications these last few days has not been easy.  More and more difficult everyday.

It's Sunday and as Sunday's go it is going to be a relaxing day.   One hopes.

Many plans for the day including believe it or not an art exhibition and a car show in 

West Palm Beach.  Let's see if Arvid does not get distracted with a Soccer game. 

 Hopefully we will also go to one of our favorite restaurants called Three Forks.

For now good morning everyone.  He is to a good day for all of us.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
