A little help today from a friend.

I tried to get to sleep last night but my oldest dog is deathly afraid of anything that goes bang or boom.  You know like gun shots, fireworks, or like last night, thunder.  She shook so hard I couldn't get to sleep.  We have had beautiful weather, but that changed fast.  We are getting some badly needed rain, but we didn't need the huge drop in temperature.  It went from 80 degrees down to the low 40's.  A little cool for this time of year.

My good friend in Pennsylvania sent me an email containing such wisdom and humor I just have to share it with you all.  I needed a good subject for today's blog and she gave me the subject and the contents all in one package, so here it is:
