One of the things on my to-do list is to post a personal #introduction and today is the day that I will cross that off!
You can call me Sherry. I love to laugh, and am very joyful and fun overall. Wife to one man, mom to one daughter, and grandma. Owner of 2 #parrots and 2 #dogs (1 of which is my #ServiceDog). We live in a 5th wheel in the midst of one of Michigan's Amish communities on a secluded lot in a beautiful area. BA in #music - currently love playing my #Tyros5 and my small #ukulele collection. Use my music to worship #Jesus, am a #Bible believing #Christian living out the Scriptures 24/7 by holding God's hand throughout my life, failing only when I let go. Always aware I am His vessel. “Where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent” (Thomas Campbell) is how I deal with most things. A strong conservative politically, I choose to focus instead on the eternal rather than the temporal in my relationships, online and off, and on loving those that God puts in my path, meeting them where THEY are. Love to cook, and eat to minimize the effects of my disabilities as much as I can since 2004. For me that's been #lowcarb and/or #keto and/or #ketovore and/or #carnivore almost exclusively. Been using social media since my #Compuserve and local #BBS days in the 80s, and my interest remains strong to these #Fediverse times because meeting interesting people is such a delight and joy!
I’ve been dealing with different versions of ‘what to do when spaniel ears get into their food’ for 15 years. This is this week’s attempt to manage that mess
We were all awake early this morning. My husband has to attend his twenty millionth comp and pen appointment for the VA, which requires a three hour drive.
I can assure everyone that the VA takes this process very seriously. So seriously in fact that Veterans with multiple cancers, all considered 100% service related, and the residual medical, and mobility issues related to surgeries and treatments including the removal of major organs, can still be denied permanent disability thereby saving the average tax payer not very much.
For us, this challenge of constant appointments and denials wears us down.
Summer and I are patiently waiting so we can welcome him home, which is what the VA should have been doing since 1969.
Summer in the early morning sun brings us joy and a smile.
Good morning, Mastodon. #Summer#Dogs
Achievement unlocked! This is Miss I-Can-Ride-In-The-Backseat-Of-The-Car-All-By-Myself. 😆 You can’t see it in the photo, but her harness is clipped into a seatbelt. I’m considering getting her one of those dog booster seats because she always wants to look out the window…but we’ll see how it goes.
NEW: Nearly 40 pups from #Texas are recovering from their long journey to #Massachusetts as we get set for our next fee-waived adoptathon! The dogs arrived in #Bedford last weekend and were immediately brought to the Northeast Animal Shelter to serve out their quarantine and get checked out 1/
The Operation Kindness dogs range in age from two-months to three-years-old. They are a variety of breeds and sizes, including #Chihuahuas, #Poodle mixes, Hound mixes, and #PitBull mixes. They’re also the inspiration behind our next fee-waived adoptathon for #dogs–called Texas Home ‘Em! 3/
Summer and I spent the afternoon planting our vegetable starts. The only starts that are still growing in toilet paper rolls are marigolds. We might get those planted this weekend.
We planted four different types of lettuce radishes, spinach, and carrots in the ground today.
We are feeling pretty good about future salads.
Well, Summer isn't much of a salad dog, but she will eat the green beans growing down the row a piece. #Summer#Dogs
