We Love Our Pets

 I made a slideshow/video for the library's facebook pages. 
This is  the poem that I wrote and recited on the video.

Pets are for loving –

They bring many joys. 

They cuddle together 

They play with their toys.

 

They can play with a stick 

Or Play in the snow 

Playing ball - hide and seek 

Wherever they go!

 

Sometimes they are naughty 

Knocking things to the ground. 

Sometimes they’re just there 

And don’t make a sound.

 

They are sleeping or resting 

Or hatching a plan 

For world domination? 

Or peace in the land

 

At times pets are hungry 
And beg for a treat. 
At times they’re just posing 

So cute! And so sweet!

 

Sometimes they are silly 

Even upside down! 

Sometimes they dress up 

To go out on the town.

 

Whatever they’re doing 

We love to say: 

We love our pets 

Every single day!

Lent 2021

 My song: (by Mary Haugen)

Shepherd Me Oh God 
Beyond my wants, 
Beyond my fears 
From death into life!

And borrowing from Fr. James Martin: Be Kind!

1. Don't be a jerk.

2. Honor the absent: (don't talk about people behind their backs)

3. Always give people the benefit of the doubt.

Valentine's Day 2021

Valentine's Day
is always some stress.
Things don't go my way
I feel like a mess.

I made a cake

and prepared to cut -

Dave said how to do it

and it busted my butt.

I went in the back

and played my guitar.

I think we're ok - 

We've survived this far.

He walked the dog

while I did my PT

He's doing the dishes

which is perfect for me!
