Throughout my life, whenever I'm sad, or a bit out of sorts, I fall asleep and suddenly I'm with the most amazing companion! I'm always being loved, held closely, and being softly caressed. In these times, I am always fulfilled. There are no empty places in my being.
Every need or want is instantly satisfied to capacity. Heaven must be like that. With this soulmate by my side, I am romping on the beach, being led up a gorgeous hiking trail, in the company of my most extraordinary companion.
Whenever I feel the need for physical and/or emotional attention, I go to sleep and instantly reconnect with my perfect soulmate. I personally think this is God's lovely way of letting me know He is always with me. He never leaves or forsakes me. He is my all and all, throughout Eternity!

Get A Colonoscopy Test A Preventive Meaure
People fifty years old and over should schedule for a colonscopy screening. It is a relatively simple procedure. The body should be cleansed thoroughly the day before the test by consuming only clear liquids; lots of water, apple juice, broth, bullion, jello, (with the exception of grape and all red flavors). Light-colored sodas can also be consumed. Then there's the jug of liquid laxative to be taken.
Whatever facility is used, a complete registration is done. Then you wait your turn, you're put to sleep, and the whole thing is finished in about an hour.
It's so easy! It also takes a lots of undue stress away. I had it done. So can you!

Garden Soup
We really made a soup from our garden. A bit of beef and stock for flavoring; carrots, onions, cabbage, green beans, potatoes, okra and tomatoes, all simmered together for one hour, made a nice meal.
For dessert; pears and peaches from a neighbor; some store-bought crusts, and a few flavorings and spices made a cobbler to die for! So easy!

Disabled Parents (part 4)
After relocating to South Carolina to help in the day-to-day care of Mom, my husband, daughter, and I did the best we could in assisting the family. I stayed with her at night because everyone else had to get up very early in the mornings to go to work. Mom never slept but an hour or two, at the most, at a time. When she didn't sleep much, she constantly called me during the night. I was always so tired. Also, I was having trouble falling asleep when I did get an opportunity to get some much needed rest.
Once, when I took Mom to the clinic for her checkup, the doctor took one look at me and said that I needed to get away from Mom for a while. He said that as a caregiver, I was neglecting the most important aspect; taking care of myself so that I might be better able to care for my Mother. I then asked my family if they could relieve me more, because I needed extra time for myself.
I learned so much about myself and my family at that time. Do the things that you can and don't be afraid to ask for help when things become too stressful. Pray a lot to ask for guidance from above. Only then can situations get better and things can be easier for everyone involved.

Return of the Wanderers
The wandering dogs returned home the same day, which was highly unusual for them. They mostly always pull a one or two nighter. They were so hot and tired from their little getaway until they basically slept for at least two days. Choca and Slick will be on their best behaviors for a while until it enters their mind to go rogueing again.
I love both dogs so very much. They are undeniably a part of our family. I'm never contented until they are safe behind our fence. But they enjoy roaming the woods near us. They now have a taste of chasing birds, sniffing everything they come across, and simply expressing their curiosity. I really need to put the dogs to some chores. They have so much energy!
Choca is the leader of the two dogs. He keeps Slick in lots of trouble. Choca does all or most of the digging out of the fence. He's constantly checking to see if there's a hole in the fence that's left unguarded. He makes a beeline for that hole and persuades Slick to join him. Of course, Slick is Choca's little flunkey. He seems to do whatever Choca wants him to do. I am so happy they're home for now!

Rogue Dogs At It Again!
Those two naughty dogs of ours are at it again! I goes into the house for an hour or so, and when I went back outside to check on them, bang! They had made their great escape. I am so angry with them right now. I certainly do not want the dog catcher to pick them up. Of course, that would never enter into their little pea brains.
I realize the dogs, Choca and Slick, want to be free. Who doesn't? Our job is to care for them and protect them from all harm, including the dog catcher, hunger, other vicious dogs that runs loose and travel in packs. Our dogs wouldn't stand a chance with those kinds of dogs.
When Choca and Slick goes missing, they usually stay gone overnight. They make it home the next morning all dirty, tired, and dehydrated. Choca is always the initiator of their little romps out of the fence. Slick is his loyal follower. I just wish they would find themselves back home as soon as is possible. We really and truly miss those impish mutts.
