Volunteering with GBGRR can be challenging but always rewarding .
On Sunday, we were asked to pick up an older Golden from an elderly couple that would soon be entering skilled nursing and could not take their girl with them.
Haley
An emotional goodbye when the time came to take her to her foster home in Houston but the owners knew this was for the best.
Taking a short break along the way
One we arrived at the fosters home, Haley settled right in. The folks at GBGRR will see she gets the best home and additionally the medical care she needs for a torn ACL.
Kind of a big deal, your 40th wedding anniversary.
So when the subject of what to do and where to go came up I expected Las Vegas, New Orleans or other points west. So when Alice stated an Astros game and a weekend in Houston, I knew I made the right decision 40 years ago!
The Westin was great. Saturday we spent the day at the downtown Aquarium.
So cool 😎 🐅
And of course, a winning game from the Astros to top it off
Happy Anniversary to everyone who has been as lucky as I have!
This adventure begins where most adventures begin, at the beginning.
The time has come for dad to leave his beloved Maine and come stay with us on the third coast. His partner, Carol Ann in now in an excellent memory care unit where she can be cared for and live a quality of life she deserves . The dementia had progressed to the point where dad just was no longer able to provide for her care. It ie a cruel disease that affect everyone involved, not just the victim.
So yesterday, I leave sunny Texas for Maine.
After a long flight and a few delays, it’s good to be on the ground in Portland.
There’s this white stuff EVERYWHERE. I really should speak with someone about this!
So the plan should go something like this:
We take care of the technical stuff first, lawyer, moving notices etc. Then the actual packing of the items coming to Texas. A U-Haul Pod handles this. Once we have it packed up, they pick it up and deliver it to our home. Pretty nice.
The “Pod”…and more of that white stuff!
Once all of the T’s have been crossed and the i’s dotted, and the pod loaded, then dad and I will begin our road trip back down south. More on that later. Now it time to get started…
