And I always seem to waste them on the things I need to do but haven't had time for, forgetting that I might just need to slow down for a while and do nothing.<br /><br />So sorry to read about Riley, Claudia's blog was next on my list to visit.

I was sick today, not sure what it is, but was worried it was diverticulitis.. but not sure.. but had to stay home from volunteering at the falls.. sister's hubby volunteered with her for the first time and enjoyed it. That is neat. Sorry about Claudia's dog.. I don't know what I'll do when my lil Buddy passes. wah. <br />((hugs)), Teresa Teresa Kasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228404538876664577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-73102181569866469402012-08-23T04:29:29.245-04:002012-08-23T04:29:29.245-04:00I'm so glad you had quiet time and enjoyed som...I'm so glad you had quiet time and enjoyed some peace.

I am so glad your son is adjusting to college life and you are adjusting as well. I think it takes longer for mothers to get use to the almost empty nest. Kids seem to find a new adventure around every corner where when we get older we hate change. I saw where your sister's beloved Riley passed away and was saddened when I read her post. What a lucky dog to have been found by 2 people to love him and what a lucky couple to have had him. I know he will be missed. I'm sure there is a special place in heaven for the pets we loved.<br />(((HUGS))) Susanne :)Susanne Tyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271812578614840958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-32997423290977711242012-08-22T15:19:40.602-04:002012-08-22T15:19:40.602-04:00Quiet time is a wonderful thing.

He already thinks he is ready. I read Claudia's post about Riley. So sad when we have to let our pets go. I had the depressing task of disposing of a kitty this morning that died from malnutrition. Just breaks my heart. These animals didn't ask to be on the streets. No one cares about them. I feed them and do what I can. It's a hard life for them. Hope you have a great rest of the week.
