Ann here: As you know, we arrived at Erin’s in Seattle on Day 4, June 4. Since then, it has been a busy social and work time for me. Plus resting to recover from the drive!

Travels with Ari – Day 4

Ari here: Back in the car AGAIN! Where’s my hiding place? Down behind the front seat I curled and slept all the way to Seattle, about 5.5 hours. But, boy, when we arrived, did I have fun! Mom put me in our bedroom on the lower level of this 4 story house, so I exploredContinueContinue reading “Travels with Ari – Day 4”

Travels with Ari – Day 3 Ari and Ann

Ari here. You heard about my car escape while we were camping along the Boulder River. Well we were back on the road today. The highlight of my day was when we stopped for lunch and I got brave and sat with Mom with the hatch open and watched a robin hop around. I wasn’tContinueContinue reading “Travels with Ari – Day 3 Ari and Ann”

Travels with Ari – Day 2 Ann

Our second day was Wednesday June 2 and the weather continued sunny and got much warmer (high 80’s).

Hi everyone. I safely arrived at my daugher Erin’s house Friday afternoon June 4. My middle two driving days were long and left me a Zombie mentally and physically. I have much to share but wanted you to know I arrived. Here is front garden at Erin’s that greeted me. More later…

Travels with Ari – Day 2 – Ari

It’s Ari here. Wow what a long drive we had yesterday! When we stopped to rest it wasn’t for very long because the sun was bright and it was in the mid 80s which would be too hot for me in the car by myself. So mom just kept going. She listen to a murderContinueContinue reading “Travels with Ari – Day 2 – Ari”

It’s Ann here. I had a good drive and arrived at our destination at about 4pm. It was an easy driving day with good breaks to stretch and eat.

Travels with Ari -Day 1 Part 1

It’s Ari here. Mom asked me to write my part. Really I don’t have much to say. She says I did really well in the car, once I got there. Here’s me hiding behind the sofa this morning. I was freaked out by mom going in and out loading the car. Hiding behind the sofaContinueContinue reading “Travels with Ari -Day 1 Part 1”

Reiki provides huge benefits in animal shelters

For five sessions during November through December 2014, I trained one volunteer to give Reiki to the cats at Caring for Cats (a no kill, volunteer run cat shelter in the Twin Cities). Cats are situated together in 5 adjacent rooms. We ‘cleared’ the whole center and healed two rooms each session. This was aContinueContinue reading “Reiki provides huge benefits in animal shelters”
