Hello to all. It snowed again yesterday...Uggg. But it has been awhile since I have been on this list, and it was wonderful to find the FML once again on my computer as I look out on the snow covering my car...Once Again.. I retired about a year ago. And I have spent these months recovering from another surgery and updating my tiny ferret friendly home. I am now cream colored porcelain tiled throughout my home with washable throw rugs. I have a new bathroom with copper sparkle thingies in the counter top. (Such things drive me wild happy inside.)My home has been repainted. The last of my new weird modern furniture is coming sometime tomorrow. I have spent hours looking at gorgeous furniture online while recovering from surgery. But I found this place that has an overstock of modern funky functional furniture that took my breath away. Gasp. I will save putting in the new cream colored doors (I have a dream) for after the last of the ferrets I take in has passed. So now, I have joined a board. I am looking into volunteer work. I have helped out my sister with multiple issues that my arthritic body can handle, and only thrown up on her once.. And today....I read this on the FML: > www.dogsondeployment.org > >There are soldiers all over the US who need help with their animals >when they are deployed. I figured the ferret community could step up >to help. And I signed up. You can chose the amount of time that you want to foster. So if you are only able to help for 2 months...you click on that option. I have been wanting to help our soldiers and their families. And here is a wonderful, meaningful way that one can be of assistance. What perfect timing to open my FML. Lisette [Posted in FML 8089]
