Last October, I saw a post on FaceBook about Red Green coming to Springfield. Red Green is a Canadian comedian who we've followed via his television show, "The Red Green Show" on PBS. Irreverent, clean, and down-to-earth comedy. We bought tickets back then and the time of waiting came on May 2nd.
Our seats were about 6 rows from the front in the old Gillioz Theater in downtown Springfield.
And, there he is, in person, Red Green himself.
Mom, John and I had a wonderful time that evening. I highly recommend seeing this show if you get the chance. You will smile and laugh and come out feeling so happy.
We've had several weeks of rain and severe weather around here. While we haven't had any tornadoes really near us, there have been some that hit all around us. Here is a Public Service Announcement that our local yarn shop sent around....just sayin'!
So, remember, when you hear a tornado is near you, grab your wieners!
Our little family grew a bit this last weekend. When our last golden retriever crossed the rainbow bridge, we took some time to heal and wait till we were ready to welcome more fur people. Last weekend, we heard of a rescue event at a local pet supply store and John and I dropped what we were doing and went over there when we found out they had a golden retriever looking for a new home. Kai Bella is an 11-year-old golden retriever female. She has quite a few medical issues - thyroid problems leading to an enormous weight (almost 100 pounds right now when a normal golden weighs between 65 and 75 pounds), incontinence, pain, chronic dry eye in both eyes, and a cyst on her right eye that is threatening her eyesight....given all that, she is the sweetest, most even-tempered lady. She allows us to treat her eyes a couple of times a day. She takes her meds without complaint. We go on a walk around the circle drive at least twice a day, sometimes three times. That's about all she can do at her current weight but we are hoping that, with time, we can lengthen her walks. She's able to go down the back stairs to get to the dog run. She's housetrained. Evidently, she has decided that she is MY dog...she follows me around like my shadow and sleeps on the floor beside my side of the bed. If I'm in the studio, that's where she is. We are only allowed to foster her at this time. The Rescue folks will not allow us to adopt her till the veterinarian releases her; until then, they pay for all her medications and tests, etc. That's fine with us...we can transfer all her records to our own vet once they release her and we get to adopt her. She's a sweet, loving old lady. Meet Kai Bella.
Thanks for stopping by.
