Can you believe that it has been over a week sence Katrina hit? "They" (I am never really sure who "they" are) are bringing about 500 victims to North Carolina. Some people will get to stay in a motel but the Red Cross is only paying for a week (my understanding, could be wrong) and then they are hoping for donations for the rest of the stay. Some are being taken in by kind hearted people and some are having to be left in some shelters (NC). At least these shelters will have food, water, and showers.
I know many of you are making donations to the Red Cross or to whomever you seem fit. I would also ask you to donate money for the animals also. If you click on the lion here it will take you to Noah's Wish. They help rescue animals during floods and such. You can donate to many places to help the animals this is just one of them. My heart goes out to these poor critters. Their human family may have gotten out but had to leave them behind. Some maybe didn't have a home to begin with. Please help them if you can.
This has been a long week and it is only mid week! I can't wait for Saturday to get here. Monday was a holiday but it really didn't seem like one. Yesterday I took Dad to the doctor for his pre-surgery appointment. Took forever and then we had to go shoping to get him some sweat pants for to wear after the surgery, and to the drug store for some pain pills.
Today I haven't done anything. Nope nothing. Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment in the morning and in the afternoon I have to take mom to an appointmen. Friday is the "big" day that I am dreading. That is when my dad gets his knee operated on. I know it is a big deal to him, but to me it is taking him, sitting around for hours while the doctor works his "magic" and then taking dad back home. I just really dread it. But he's my dad so what ya gonna do? LOL
I have been spending time sending graphics out to my graphics group. If you aren't a member shame on you. There is a link to join to the left in the favorite sites column at the bottom.
The weather has been more autumn like this week. I absolutely love it! I hope you guys are having great weather too.
Take care,

seems like a long week to me too. I posted an entry on several organizations to help the animals. I also got another background in there thanks to your help a while back.
You've always got so much on your plate, hon. Hope you know you're always in my prayers. Thanks for the link. I think people forget about the precious animals; that they could use some loving care too. Don't know how you did the bottom graphic but it is awesome; makes my heart hurt, as well it should.
God bless you.
