Over the last few days, we have discovered a lost kitten hanging around our house. It seems that whenever we open the door, the kitten is there. I gave him a little food since it seems that he was hungry. I guess that was a big mistake, now the cat won’t go away. We asked some of the local neighbors if they knew who’s cat it was, but have not yet found the owners.

We went and made some signs from poster board and hung them up around our neighborhood. As of yet, we haven’t had any calls. I hope that whoever owns this beautiful animal will want to get their pet back! I sure hope that it will all turn out ok in the end. I don’t want to see this animal destroyed like so many others!!

Each year in May, the world celebrates the holiday of National Nurses Week. Originally started back in 1953 when President Eisenhower received a proposal from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare’s Dorothy Sutherland, wanting to proclaim a day in October as Nurse Day. Even though the declaration was not made, it led to the eventual celebration of a day in May.

Now celebrated on May 12 because it was Florence Nightingales birthday, the world shows its appreciation to nurses around the globe. Anyone who has ever been to the hospital knows the importance of Nurses. Their care and knowledge helps to save lives and also increases the welfare of their patients. I wanted to send out a big thank you from me and my family to this dedicated group of professionals.
