Dusty, so glad you found joy in the midst of such chaos. Our chimpanzee friends put a smile on my face too.
Got it! All too many one of theose days, and wodnerful when humor dispells it. Love the sentiment and the video.
Thanks Dusty for reminding us that no matter how gloomy your day, just turn to the CSNW residents for hope and joy. Willy B foot tapping and Burrito scooter riding makes the sun come out.
But, think of it this way, Dusty; Perhaps Beezie sensed that you were stressed out and she wanted to share her smoothie with you? Fret not, Maeve will find the winning raffle tickets for you (and, while you wait, Burrito will slide under your vehicle and change your oil).
:sweat_smile::laughing:
Dusty, naughty Honey B owes you an apology. I can’t believe she would do something like that :joy:. Those two boys, Burrito and Willy B sure brought joy to my heart.
Oh, I totally believe she would! She’s the Jamie of this wing, but without the authority!
Oh Dusty, I know those days all too well and for me, just around the corner is all of you, bringing me smiles, laughter, and a certainty that love and compassion are still alive and kicking! And if not actually “kicking” it is stomping, bouncing, tearing, spinning, and chomping….joyfully!
So sorry about that smoothie incident, Dusty! Can’t believe the washer is falling apart already! It’s only a couple of yrs old!
I’m so happy Burrito is finally figuring out how to ride his scooter!
Yes Dusty, I agree with HoneyB: you look good in smoothy…..
And as the saying goes: “this too will pass!”.
Oh, Honey B! Cut your caregivers some slack!
At least Burrito is always up to goof around! It’s impossible to be upset when Bubba’s being silly on his scooter!
You all are wonderful and were so blessed to share this planet with you!
