puppetmaker | Veteran's Day 2010

I would like to offer my thanks to all veterans who have sacrificed so much allowing me to live the life I lead. If you love freedom, hug a Vet. I have had lots of friends who have served and some that are still deployed this day. To them and their families, know that I am thinking of you.

I am taking Caroline into the city for an adventure today. It is sort of at the last minute but she has been jonesing to go to the Natural History Museum for a couple of months now. She wants to see the dinos and look at the shapes of the rocks in the gem and mineral section. We will probably lunch at John’s Pizza because she really likes that place. It will be a Mommy and Daughter day in the City.

We are still dealing with Fig and her intestinal track and parasites. Now it looks like it might be a tapeworm which is a whole other medicine. Either way we have a worm sample to show the vet so we will know what is going on.

Peter has about four writing assignments that are due about the same time. We are not going to see much of him before Thanksgiving which is fine. Work in these difficult times is a blessing and we are grateful for each and every one of them. He is really good at getting a bunch of different things done at the same time. His brain is just amazing that way. Caroline understood the phrase “Daddy is on a deadline” before she could talk.

I am grateful for the opportunity to just take Caroline in the city and go see something on whim.
