Poor Sick Kitty
My poor little Abel has been throwing up and passing out. We took him to the emergency vet yesterday and they ran every test that they could on him. Most of the tests came back today and show that everything is normal, so that’s good. He’s a very healthy kitty, but the vet has no…

Teachers on TV –Being in the Now
Life lessons can come to us in any way we’re receptive, and TV is no exception. Tonight I ran across the ‘Joy of Painting’ with Bob Ross, which I find absolutely engrossing.
