August 17, 2019, I attended Marsha R. West’s book signing at Monkey and Dog Books, a brick-and-mortar bookstore. I had a lot of fun talking to Marsha, perusing her books, and walking throughout the store which is small but has books for all ages.
One of Marsha books, THE THEATRE, got my attention. It had an interesting cover blurb, so I bought it. I also had the pleasure to meet Marsha’s wonderful hubby. He’s a very nice person!
My husband took a picture of this beautiful flower in our backyard. I thought about posting it to tell the families whose loved ones were injured or killed in El Paso and Dayton that we are praying for them. May God give them the strength to survive those horrible tragedies.
Coping with the loss of a loved one is extremely difficult, especially when that loss occurred in a brutal manner. I lost a cousin and a nephew to gunfire; and another cousin was beaten to death on a deserted highway. (Their killers were never found.) At that time I thought that I would never recover from losing them, but through the years, I learned to cope with their loss by remembering them in a positive way. Their Christian values and contagious laughter when they teased me will always be cherished.
Marty had been scratching or rubbing on the sutures because the strands formed loops that pestered his eye. My husband got brave (Marty will scratch you without warning.), and trimmed some threads.
The eyelid looked irritated. That was worrisome, so we took Marty for a checkup. But apparently Marty was okay. In three weeks, the sutures should dissolve, and the eyelid should heal.
