Stuck a baby rabbit in my shirt pocket and went to see my older good neighbor, told her I had a surprise in my pocket and she giggled like a kid when I handed her the kit. It was so sweet to watch her just hold that little fuzzy kit...eyes still closed, fur just in....her talking softly to it....just pure joy for both of us to share together .
Hope everyone enjoyed their day, have a relaxing evening......:frow

I'm willing to bet that was a huge thrill for your neighbor. Very kind of you to think of her and share the joy with her.

That laughter really is important. My husband hitched a ride on the crazy train, he had no idea what he was in for! Our son in law told him one time that he (DH) caught a tornado (me). :lol::lol:
That’s just too funny, Bay! I can attest to your comment about your DH hitching a rid on the crazy train! :lol: But then my DH got hitched onto the same train. Back when we got married, I think his family thought he had made a mistake marrying me. We had only been married six years, when his mother passed away. But, I think his brother and daughter now realize that I really AM good for him. So, I am okay now. :)

@B&B Happy goats, as you have probably figured out, I am catching up on your journal. I don’t usually have time to sit and read as much as I want on BYH, so when I do I will try to get through at least one. I love your sense of humor . . . It is much like mine. You do make me laugH! :lol:

My point of sharing this with my BYH family is simple.....not everyday is going to go as we planned, , we don't always receive the best of news...I may not like what I heard, and I sure do have my opinions but I am not going to judge what has transpired within her family.
But I will honor my promise to my brother, ...be my SIL support,..... and will happily take three little symbols of life that never had a chance, and give them a proper home here.
Oh wow! That really made me cry! I am so sorry to hear about your brother and SIL! :hugs And what a touching gesture, for you to take her grandchildren, to give them a resting place, to run and play. I could almost see the gratitude on her face! And how kind to offer to be your SIL’s support system. That is a a sizeable commitment. It must give your brother great peace knowing his wife will be looked after when he is gone. May God’s blessings be upon you. :hugs

Don't blame you on the 5 year old. I wouldn't either. My first cousin is a screwball. She raised a screwed up mess of a daughter who had 3 kids. Because of the generational drug use on mother/daughter and the father of the kids, they are messed up too. Not to mention the inherited behavior problems from my cousin's mother's family. Two of them are on disability for their issues. I told my husband years ago that if we ever moved, I didn't want them to know where we lived. I never want those kids (teenagers now) to show up on my doorstep with all their problems. Even as little children they were on some heavy pych (sp?) drugs. I always said that when they got old enough to refuse to take the drugs anymore, there is likely to be a murder or two or three and it ain't gonna be US.

In many states, if they don't have children, they can't get a check. If they can't get a check, they can't buy the thing they most crave.

XXXXX XXX, Fla. (WCJB) -- A home invasion in the XXX XXXX area Saturday night left one man dead and the intruder injured in a shooting involving one or more XXXXX County Sheriff's deputies.

XXXX received a 9-1-1 call around 8 p.m. from a woman living on X.X. XXXXX Ave. During the call, deputies heard a man in the background giving orders to the woman, and found out that a firearm was involved.

When deputies arrived at the home, the woman ran outside. She was placed in the back of the patrol car, and told the deputies her husband was inside and injured.

When deputies went into the home to search, they found the 61-year-old husband badly injured. During the search, the intruder walked out of a bedroom and pointed a gun at the deputies, who fired at him in response.

The 49-year-old suspect was restrained and EMS units were called to treat him before taking him to an area hospital. The husband was declared dead on scene.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement was notified and will investigate the deputy(s)-involved shooting. Both deputies have been placed on three-day administrative leave while the investigation is ongoing.
