all the UFO   news overnight got me going....i've decided maybe THEY  are already here and our preconcieved notion of a being about our size with an eye in their middle of the forehead has prevented us from  considering otherwise... so i have decided "they" are miniscule and living in wheat fields where they communicate by makeing  massive intricate designs to communicate-- we humans   have tried to imitate with a couple guys, beers , boards ad ropes-- but we have never been able to produce the absolute perfection of these designs..  maybe they were here before us--  before airplanes and satallites we had no way of knowing-- now that we have satalites we have found very pequiliar designs in places other than wheat fields...since we do not understand, we just give it a shove off the intelectual shelf and go back to worrying about why our ancesters took a big leaf, rolled it up, put it in their mouth and lit fire to the other end .

Who pays the salary of thiese people..... who are wandering the world digging up strange objects which they then try and figure out what that  piece of  pottery did for someone 3000 years ago...-- or  in the case of egypt.. deciding  which pharaoh  a femur belonged to.--

i suppose  it would be possible-- if they find enough bones, to figure out the paternity  of  anyone.- wouldn't that shake  the religions.. tie that into the davinchi  code- and hollywood would have a heck of a sequel to make .

****

lotsa cut and opaste....  have at it......

BELLA HAD ANOTHER GOOD DAY. DR. KARLIN CAME IN AND UPPED HER TO 17 LBS. HE WILL TAKE X-RAYS NEXT WEEK. BELLA HAD A GREAT TIME WITH AUNTIE TA. THEY PLAYED WITH MAKEUP, MADE SLIME, COLORED, AND JUST HAD FUN. BELLA’S FRIEND AVA CAME FOR A VISIT THIS AFTERNOON. BELLA IS OFF ALL MOTRIN AND OXY. ALL SHE HAS FOR MEDS NOW ARE TYLENOL AND VALIUM. THE ONLY REASON SHE TAKES VALIUM IS TO KEEP THE MUSCLES RELAXED SO HER SPINE CAN STRETCH. SHE WENT FOR A FEW WALKS TODAY AND EVEN BROUGHT HER FRIENDS DOWN TO THE LOBBY TO SAY GOOD BYE. GEORGE IS HANDLING EVERYTHING LIKE A CHAMP. HE GOES OUT AND FOR A WALK OR ZOOMIE A FEW TIMES A DAY OUTSIDE WHICH IS WHAT HE DOES NORMALLY AT HOME AND HE WALKS AROUND THE HOSPITAL WHEN BELLA GOES FOR WALKS. TONIGHT I CAME HOME FOR A FEW HOURS TO SLEEP. ED IS WITH BELLA. IS IT SNOWING SO I MAY HEAD IN REALLY EARLY SO ED CAN COME BACK TO HIS PLOW ROUTE. BUT A FEW HOURS IN MY BED WILL BE WONDERFUL. SO I WILL ENJOY THOSE AND LET YOU KNOW HOW HER NIGHT WENT TOMORROW. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!! BELLA GOT HER FIRST GIFT TO THE HOSPITAL AND THOUGHT IT WAS AWESOME THAT CARDS AND GIFTS CAN BE SENT TO HER THERE! THANK YOU. LOVE BELLA AND GEORGE

ON OUR LAST TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY, I WAS ESPECIALLY PROUD OF SEAGRAM. AFTER LIVING IN/NEAR NYC FOR 15 YEARS, I HAD NEVER BEEN TO SEE THE ROCKETTES, SO THIS SEEMED LIKE THE PERFECT OUTING FOR US. SEAGRAM HANDLED THIS CHALLENGE BEAUTIFULLY, WHICH IS NO SMALL FEAT, GIVEN THAT RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL SEATS 6000 PEOPLE!! HONESTLY, THE HUSTLE & BUSTLE OF THE AREA AROUND ROCKEFELLER CENTER & RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL HAD MADE IT SEEM UNSAFE WITH THE WALKER/CANE I USED BEFORE, BUT WITH SEAGRAM BY MY SIDE, I FELT CONFIDENT THAT WE COULD WALK ANYWHERE AROUND THERE. WE EVEN SKIPPED THE ELEVATOR & TOOK THE STAIRS TO THE LOWER LEVEL. I WAS SHAKY BUT SHE WAS PATIENT, EVEN WHEN WE HAD TO REST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STAIRS AS PEOPLE PASSED BY. AFTERWARD, ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES WHO HAD BEEN WATCHING US SAID, “THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO SEE,” AND WE STOPPED TO HAVE A PLEASANT CHAT WITH HIM. 

SO MANY PEOPLE COMMENTED ON HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE IS (AND WE ALWAYS RESPOND GRACIOUSLY TO TELL THEM ABOUT HOW HELPFUL & WELL-TRAINED SHE IS, SINCE THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE PEOPLE IF THEY ARE WILLING TO LISTEN). THE MOST INTERESTING COMPLEMENT CAME FROM THE MOTHER OF THE 3 PRE-TEEN GIRLS SEATED BEHIND US. AS BRIEF BACKGROUND, BEFORE THE SHOW, THE GIRLS RAN TO THE AISLE TO TAKE A GROUP SELFIE, AND ONE OF THEM SPILLED HER POPCORN ALL OVER IN THE RUSH. THEN DURING THE SHOW, AS USUAL, SEAGRAM ALTERNATED NAPPING WITH AN OCCASIONAL CHECK ON ME. AFTER THE SHOW, THE MOM COMMENTED, “LOOK AT HOW WELL-TRAINED SHE IS — SHE DIDN'T EVEN EAT ANY OF THE POPCORN ON THE FLOOR!!” AND OF COURSE, SEAGRAM WAS BY MY SIDE, ATTENTIVE AND OBSERVANT AS WE NAVIGATED OUR WAY OUT OF RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL, AS MANY PEOPLE NOTICED & COMMENTED ABOUT. THIS WENT SO WELL THAT WE ALSO WALKED TO SEE THE CHRISTMAS TREE AT ROCKEFELLER CENTER. WHAT A WONDERFUL OUTING!! I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR SUPER SEAGRAM!!

WHAT A SUPER BUSY WEEK. I THINK PIXIE AND I WILL BE SO GLAD WHEN ALL THIS CRAZINESS IS OVER. WE ARE TRULY WIPED OUT. WE HAVE OUR NORMAL DAY TO DAY ADVENTURES WITH ADDED UNEXPECTED ADVENTURES BUT I HAVE CERTAINLY GOT THROUGH IT ALL WITH THE HELP FROM MY SWEET GIRL. 

TODAY SHE WAS SUCH A SUPER STAR AS WE STARTED OUT OUR DAY BEGINNING AT 5:30 THIS MORNING TO TAKE MY YOUNGEST FOR HIS MRI. SHE WAS SUCH A ROCKSTAR THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS AS IT WAS A DIFFICULT DAY FOR MY LITTLE GUY.
WE THEN HAD SOME ERRANDS TO RUN AND THEN OFF TO FINISH CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.
PHEW, WE ARE SO HAPPY TO BE HOME AS THE ICE IS STARTING TO COME DOWN AND NOW TO ENJOY A GOOD CHRISTMAS MOVIE.
I KNOW ONE THING I'M SO VERY GRATEFUL FOR MY GIRL CAUSE I COULD NEVER DO ALL I DO TODAY WITHOUT HER HELP. SHE MAKES EACH DAY EASIER FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO ALL I NEED TO DO.
PIXIE IS THE BEST GIFT I COULD HAVE EVER RECEIVED.
SHH, DON'T TELL PIXIE BUT SHE EVEN SHOPPED TODAY FOR HER PRESENTS, SUCH A GOOD SPORT SHE IS NOT TRYING TO SNIFF THEM OUT, LOL

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND AND ENJOY THE HOLIDAY WITH YOUR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES.
