This 'n' That

Well, friends last week was quite an "interesting" week to say the least -  Fall flowers from hubby, a concert in Philadelphia, and a flooded basement! ...

Last Saturday night, we had tickets to go see a rock group called, "Cage the Elephant" at The Met in Philadelphia, PA. That morning I had a much needed hair cut and style. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MANDY of "The Girls Hair Studio"!! ... ✀

The stage at The Met ...

And now for the bad news, Last Sunday, we began cleaning up our disaster of a garage. Afterwards, I walked into the house and heard gushing water coming from our downstairs basement. I immediately ran downstairs and, to my horror, I saw water literally POURING out of the water filter in my Altar Room! I ran back upstairs and screamed for my husband to "COME QUICK! HURRY!!" The o-ring inside of the filter had broken in half and apparently the filter bottom was thrown to the floor from the water pressure.

The floors were flooded, rugs were drenched, and while my husband ran out to Home Depot to get another water filter I continued to try and clean up - filling bags and bags full of ruined area rugs, soaked boxes that were on the floor - the water even managed to fill my plastic drawers. The following pics were taken AFTER we cleaned up ...

The laundry room was also flooded. These pics were taken two days after we cleaned up as best we could ...

A little update ...

Greetings everyone! I just wanted to post an update on what has been happening. First of all, we are currently still trying to figure out "how" to help "Benny" - one of our outside kitties. This pic was taken this afternoon before I had to leave for work of "Kitt" (another outside kitten whom always shows up with Benny) and "Benny" ...

Up until now, I have only ever been able to see Benny after I get home from work at around 11:00PM when it is far too dark out to actually SEE him - until this afternoon when both he and Kitt showed up to look for food. I was finally able to see Benny and some of his medical issues such as his "bad right eye" which looks most probably to be blind, and of course, his constant tilted head which appears to be a neurological problem (some type of brain damage). 😞

This pic was taken of Benny as I was leaving for work lying securely in a plastic bin in our garage ...  

Moving on, I also have an update on our friend Walt. His son Billy sent me a pic of him currently in rehab ... GET WELL SOON, buddy!!!

Have a great rest of the week all!!

Happy Monday and ...

A quick update ...

Happy Thursday, all! Just a quick little update on our friend (and my favorite dance partner) Walt. I have been in touch almost on a daily basis with his children and daughter-in-law regarding his progress. This is the latest update which his son, Billy, posted just this morning on his Facebook page ...

"The last 3 days have been extremely positive for dad as he was able to say my name and recognize me each day when I walked in to see him. Today he was able to eat half a sandwich and drink some tea and is getting stronger each day. We are happy to say he is medically stable to be moved to a rehab nursing facility to begin physical therapy within the next few days. Thank you all once again for all the prayers and well wishes as dad takes another big step in his road to recovery."

This Saturday my hubby and I plan on going to visit him in the hospital. We don't expect him to remember us as he has not regained his full memory as of yet, but Hopefully he will in time." 😞 💔

A very warm and sincere "Thank You" to my friends who wished Walt thoughtful "Get Well" wishes!

Brightest Blessings!!
