:) Emma’s Chinese Herbs arrived yesterday!

June 7th, 2012 - 10:10 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Chinese Herb Lovers…..Yesterday I took the kids out for a walk.  It was what you call a perfect, glorious morning.  It was about 60 degrees and perfect for hounds walking around the town. As grandma would say, “Let’s get those organs moving”!

I had to walk them by myself, because my Mom is in New Orleans with her middle grandson and his mother.  Henry was accepted into Tulane university, and get this….he speaks Chinese.  Yes, folks Emma gets her Chinese herbs while her cousin Henry is visiting the Chinese professors at Tulane.  Wow, the universe is a special place. Just look at the turquoise sky.  Beautiful!

I walked the kids to the top of the avenue, the same walk that grandpa would take.  We sat at the same bench and took a load off.  As I was checking my e-mail (dog forbid we can’t do that every second of every day) look who pulled up!!!

This is Babe with her Grandma.  Babe was at the bassethoundtown walking club event a few weeks ago.  I had never met Babe before and I think they saw the event announced in the “what do do” section of the paper.

This is Babe looking at Chaps while Chaps sings her his opera song.  Now that is a video I should have taken.  It was so cute and he was trying so hard to get me away from Babe.

Then we headed home.  Normally, my Dad would have taken them much farther but with their age and Emma’s “condition” we headed home.

It’s a pretty straight shot.  We walk a little bit past the end of this picture and then make a left.

When we arrived home I noticed a small package at the front door.  I knew immediately what it was.

I am so excited to get this treatment started.

You know I will keep everyone posted.

Now I am off for my monthly lunch/card party with the girls.  BFF is having it at her home.  I just tucked Emma in for her morning nap and she is doing great today. Chaps is in charge.

I also ransacked my Mom’s jewelry box.  That is a really chunky turquoise necklace and earrings…plus a little cheese on the side!

More cheese and herbs later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

    Grandma has some good looking grandsons for sure.

    Babe looked really worried about whatever Chaps had to say.

    Good luck with the herbs! I can’t wait to hear how they work.

    Oh Cat, please keep us posted. We’re thinking of you.

    Well, things are not looking too good. Emma is still weak but she did eat a few crackers and drank some water. We have her under her gully blanket and we are just sitting with her. She is very comfortable but has not eaten much at all. I am just letting her rest all day and we will just take it hour by hour. I will keep everyone posted and thanks so much to my 2 Cindys.

    Love

    me

    So sad to hear that sweet Emma is not feeling well. It is good that grandma has returned home that Emma has all of you taking care of her.
