(and my partner, Arleen) 
He definitely had an advantage in that his death was quick and he didn't linger in pain. That's good for the one who is dying, but not so hot for the folks who have to remain on earth after the death.
and a hole is left in our lives.
So now instead of one service a week, I am doing two. I have been going to lots of events around Detroit to promote the church. gardening time! I have been outside a lot working in the garden. I have tons of veggies planted plus flowers and stuff. I am also reworking some of my garden beds. I plan to can and freeze some of the veggies and donate the rest to various charities around town.
and they're absolutely correct. If I had had a gun, I would have shot myself to put me out of my misery. 
I was in the hospital for three days then recovering at home for a week. Yipes!!
and the video on the home page is wonderful. Check it out and join us to help make American even better than before.
I have a lot to do this weekend too. I spend the day today working in the yard and I'm still not done. Tomorrow I have some events to attend for the church. Then on Sunday, church. And I still have to write the church service for Sunday. 
YIKES!! I think this is going to be a short blog.
and still have no graphics job. I guess it's time to move on. And my daughter in law keeps telling me I need to work with pets, specifically dogs. 
I believe she's right.
In addition, I am going out a lot promoting the church and ministry. I even considered buying a book that includes ways to promote a pet ministry business.
I am now (finally!) feeling better. I hope it lasts this time. I was at an event all day today spreading the word about the church. Tootsie and Muffin went with me and definitely got a lot of attention. Afterwards, I took Muff and Toots for a little walk in the park where they found all the water and mud they could. Nice for tomorrow's service. 
Oh well, I've done other bulletins on Sunday morning so it won't be the first time.
Toots is a little more laid back, of course she's older too. But Muff just LOVES to run in the park and she shows it. I lose myself in her passion and joy and at least for a moment or two, nothing matters but her running through the woods.
And Ar and I will have lots of information about the church and my Petlane and HealthyPetNet businesses to hand out. I am hoping to generate some business for both. 
That'll help with the money situation. I have to go on Monday and see about the unemployment situation. Somedays, I have so much to do it's kind of overwhelming. 
Guess I'm getting old. But I'm still going strong most days. Arleen was reading on the web about the fact that people who use their computer and internet have less problems with dementia. So I'll just forget stuff, but not lose it completely. 
Bentley was so much like his old self it was fun to watch. I still had to help him get out of the car, but he was walking around, sniffing and wagging his tail. It was great to watch him. I think he really enjoyed his walk. 
So now I have two dirty, smelly dogs who are supposed to represent the church at the Pets and Bets event today. 
to get them ready. I just don't know if I can afford it. We are trying to be thrifty right now. Maybe I'll just come home and throw them in the tub. 
The thing about Dunk N Dogs is that the bathtubs are raised up so you don't have to bent over. That'll help my sore back. 
I guess I'll see.
Then, of course, I am sleepy around the time everyone else is waking up! This is really getting old. I have to keep reminding myself that God has seen me through this so far and He will continue to be with me. I just don't always know how —and occasionally that worries me. I figured out the other day that I have sent out over 300 resumes so far, and I sent out three the other day.
So in the meantime, I'm up every morning at 3:00 am praying.
I'm going to try again. Have a safe and blessed day.
I was going to use the Mac, which always works great, but it is old and outdated and many of my blog apps don't work with the old version. Some day when we have some discretionary funds, we are going to get a couple of Macs. Originally we only got the PCs so Arleen could do her school work, which is all designed for PCs. 
Anyways, to make a long story even longer ... the PC is finally working well enough for me to do my blogs and stuff.
It's funny, I am really missing Ruby and I think the dogs are too. It's been real quite around here the past few days. I think even Toots is missing Ruby. Ruby was her outside buddy, barking and running in the yard with her. Muff is pretty much a mama's girl and mostly stays in here with me.
So I spent my time getting things organized on the computer. Then, about the time Arleen woke up, I went back to bed. I expect it was Bentley (he has some digestive problems sometimes). I got out the new (refurbished) Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber I bought and struggled to get it working. It has a problem and I admit, I'm not very happy about it. I bought it from Big Lots for not too much money so I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I really need this to work. Guess you live and learn.
But now I'm back at it. In addition, we will have Petlane and HealthyPetNet info. All Creatures is having a fundraiser with Petlane from now until the end of June. You can get more information on the website. If you need anything for your dog, cat, bird, guinea pig, 
rabbit, or ferret, check out the info and place your order. We hope to be able to get out of the 
red for the church, so any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
It's supposed to be warm and sunny the next few days so I'll be outside most of the time.
Yup, I can hardly talk...just an occasional squeak. I had a really bad cold for a few days this week, including a really bad cough, and once the cold symptoms started subsiding, I lost my voice. I'm sure Arleen is enjoying this. She can talk all she wants and I can't answer her. 
Guess it was meant to be.
But I think the other dogs, especially Muff, are glad she's gone. They like having me all to themselves.
It has been especially hard since the last two days were sunny, beautiful and in the 70s. 
I really wanted to be outside working in the yard. The good news is that for the next three days it's going to be rainy and gloomy. That will definitely make it easier for me to stay inside.
