MY AMUSEMENT LAST NIGHT WAS THE BRITISH ACCENT...PARTICULARLY THE WORD LAST NIGHT WAS DEBRIE WHICH AS ThEY FOUND SOME OF THE MISSING PLANE CONTENTS, WAS THE MOST USED WORD ON CNN LAST NIGHT. -- AND IF THE AMERICAN IS daBREEEE THE BRITISH IS DEBree-- AND WONDERING HOW MUCH OF A BRITISH ACCENT IS THE ACCENT ON A DIFFERENT SYLLABLE
*****
IT IS ALMOST POSSIBLE TO REDUCE THE OVERNIGHT CNN NEWS TO ONE OR TWO WORDS PARTICULARLY AS THE POLITITIANS "AND THEIR SPOKESPERSONS TRY AND GET THE PUNCH WORDS INTO AS MANY CONVERSATIONS AS THEY CAN. " IT IS LIKE THEY HAVE A 6am MEETING AND DECIDE ON TWO WORDS TO PUSH-- THEN THE NEWS REPEATS THEM OVER AND OVER...
*****
I HAVE BEEN SHOCKED LATELY TO FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE BESIDES ME HAVE WORRIED ABOUT ROME FALLING AFTER ABOUT 250 YEARS-- AND THE BRITISH EMPIRE AFTER ABOUT 257 YEARS-- THE
RE ARE OTHERS--- AND 1776 FROM 2016 IS 240.. COULD BE........
I WAS WORRIED IN THE 1980'S BECAUSE WHE I WAS IN EDINBURGH IN (1957) IN THE MATH PHYSICS ENVIRONMENT SOMEBODY ( TONY AND GORDON) PLOTTED POPULATION GROWTH ON A GRAPH AND IF THE CURVE IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IT BECOMES A ASYMPTOTIC AT 1984( NUMBER OF PEOPLE GOES STRAIGHT UP NEVER GETTING TO 1984) WHICH IS ABOUT WHEN WE BEGAN TO HEAR DISCUSSIONS ABOUT ENOUGH FOOD TO FEED EVERYONE IN 2050 OR PLANET WARMING...
ONE OF MY EDINBURGH FRIENDS READS THIS DD AND SHE IS VERY ACCURATE.. SHE MAY GIVE ME THE EXACT CONVERSATION.... BUT THAT WAS THE GIST OF IT.

ANOTHER ENJOYABLE APPRECIATION DAY.
I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED WITH THE FIREMEN TODAY. IT WAS AMAZING AND SO MUCH FUN.
MY HUSBAND AND I DROVE INTO THEIR PARKING OUT AND BEFORE WE COULD GET OUT OF OUR CAR, ONE OF THE MEN, JAMIE, CAME OUT THE DOOR WITH A BIG SMILE AND SAID, “YOU ARE BACK” AND ANOTHER, DAVE, CAME OUT AND SAID, “IT’S THE 19TH – APPRECIATION DAY”.
ALL IN ALL, THIS WAS A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET – A TRUE MEANING OF APPRECIATION BY THESE MEN. DAVE EVEN CHECKED HIS CALENDAR AND HE WILL BE THERE ON JUNE 19TH…
CARLENE, THIS IS ONE OF YOUR GREAT IDEAS AND I LOVE IT. EVERY MONTH I COME HOME WITH A WARM HEART
CHEESE CAKE FROM COSTCO'S THAT I DOCTORED UP WITH FRUIT.

From Team Hunter and Wendy:
Hunter had a school show tonight that was 50s themed. Wendy even wore a scarf to be dressed up. It was his first time, out of PT, that he wore his short braces and he did great! He said he got his workout today since there was no formal therapy! The only bad thing that happened was that "the boy with the dane got taken out by a cane!"
Hunter thought his brain had "malfunctioned" because he had no idea why he fell coming into the show and didn't find out until his teacher told him after the show. He was clipped in the ankles by someone's cane and down he went. "Good thing I was wearing my short braces because it's easier to stand up!" he said after the show.
He was fine, got Wendy on her fluffy and went to his chair. The person felt terrible, but how Hunter described it was pretty clever, as SDPs slogan is "Give up your cane for a dane!" He had a fun time, but is really tired after his "workout" and is
fast asleep!

From Bella's Mom:
A little early posting today but I am sitting and relaxing. Gabi is finishing homework and Bella and George are watching a show on Netflix. All is good. This morning Bella had George outside to go to the bathroom one last time before school. I walked out and see Bella sitting in the tree. Then George spoted her and runs over to the rescue. Even though she said she didn't need to be rescued he was right there. She just looked so cute sitting there in the tree though.
At school they had PARC testing. I walked with Bella down to her room for her testing. Bella doesn't do the testing in the room with everyone else because sometimes she needs to have someone do her writing for her when her hands get tired. She also is allowed extra time of she needs it and to have break times to stretch. So she goes into the room with George and Ms Kate.
When they waked in George went right to his spot under the table without even being told. He knew the routine and did it. After the test they had extra time outside in the field. So they had a good day! Now they are already inbed.
Only a couple days left to order Team Bella and George shirts! We close off orders Saturday night. We are so close to 300! Here is that link

HI CARLENE,
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON IVY AND HER PERFORMANCE AS A SERVICE DOG. I KNOW THAT DANES DON'T LIKE WATER, BUT I BELIEVE MY SERVICE DOG MAY BE AN EXCEPTION TO THAT RULE. HAHAHAHA. LAST NIGHT I HAD A VERY NASTY FALL IN THE SHOWER AND, AS USUAL, SHE WAS LAYING ON THE BATHROOM RUG. AS SOON AS I FELL, SHE WAS RIGHT THERE TO HELP ME GET UP AS I BRACED ON HER. SHE IS A SPECIAL GIRL. THANK YOU FOR IVY. SHE HOLDS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART AND IN MY LIFE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT HER. SHE BRINGS ME SUCH JOY EVERY DAY AND HER LOYALTY IS UNBELIEVABLE. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT HER. SHE IS MY LIFE PARTNER AND I HAVE YOU AND ALL THE TRAINERS TO THANK FOR THAT.
