Processing My Elderly Dog's Crossing Over the Rainbow Bridge

9 Sept 2024 22:02

Today is a bright sunshiney Fall day, September 9, 2024. I woke up to an IG post, pictured above about the 9/9 portal but didn't connect the dots completely until later in the day. I recognized the ending , new beginning and unconditional love. Nine is 3 3 3. You'll catch the meaning...

9.10 Regarding Beau's Crossing: Also a shout-out to a friend who is a hospice Doula, I had by chance seen her earlier in 2024 and she shared her surprise of family making the death about themselves and ignoring the person dying, this was also firmly in my mind and heart during Beau's journey.

Another Arizona friend who was a nurse also explained how natural death can be quite prolonged and very painful so that also helped make my decision for euthanasia.

9.11 Heard loud and clear last night 'dont just End well, LIVE well' so I took a longer walk this morning than Beau and I usually did and considered options of things to do I couldn't before due to wanting to engage him.

26 May 2024

Camellias, Andrè Micheaux, Declaration of Independence and the oldest largest single trunk oak on the Eastern Sea board, 1000 years old, WOW!

Where to start? Middleton Plantation has a wonderful array of tours, many included in the general admission price but I chose to invest a total of $65 for general admission and the extra house and rice fields tour, INCREDIBLE!

House Tour

This is my third year living in the flourishing state of South Carolina. She never ceases to amaze me especially with her depth of importance regarding the Revolutionary War and signers of the Declaration of Independence. That juxtaposed with the son or grandson of the afformentioned signer initiating South Carolina's Secession from the Union.

Sooo, the house tour was eye opening: a signed pass from President Abraham Lincoln, tiara worn at the Czar of Russias wedding, 19th century children's furniture and toys, beautiful silver tea sets and much more.

Rice Tour

Chuck drove us in a trusty 6 seater golf cart, flying a beautiful American flag this lovely Memorial Day weekend of 2024, past virulent bamboo, baby alligators and flooded rice fields. Chuck is a patriot and historian, his wife Rhonda led the house tour!

Garden Tour

Versailles inspired, the once neglected geometric formal garden is once again brimming with life including a surviving camellia plant brought to the United States in the 1700s by Andrè Micheaux, she's a beauty.

My favorite flora however was the 1000 year old oak tree you see me laying my hand on, such energy! Incredible.

I loved how each tour guide acknowledged the unsung slaves who did all the arduous work digging out the rice fields, planting toe and heel, digging 8 feet deep 60 foot long reflecting pools in the garden and ensuring the silver in the house shined.

Our garden guide shared a beautiful story of a Middleton slave who remained as a paid staff member after the emancipation and eventually became the pastor of Summervilles First Baptist Church and a leader in the recovery efforts after the horrific earthquake in the late 1800s.

Not dog friendly due to the sheep, horses, etc.

There were water buffalo as well. Fun fact, Chuck shared that mozzarella cheese comes from the milk of water buffalo!!! Now you know

Memorial Day 2024, a downtown Camelia!

27 May 2024

After visiting Middleton yesterday, went downtown Charleston today on Broad Street parking near the Mills House Boutique Hotel, they have a dog friendly atmosphere, nice bathroom!

Anywho, noticed on the patio, camelias!!! Surely inspired by Andrè Micheaux"s gift, wow!

Also happened across a satue and placard about George Washington.

Happy Memorial Day y'all!

The joy, dependability and singularity of Waffle House

25 May 2024

This morning was a Waffle House kind of day, once a year or so ya gotta go cuz you're craving waffles and today had the bliss of a Divine appointment. Met cashier Rose who commented on liking my rose quartz necklace I forgot I was wearing, I have another one at home and was sweetly nudged by Universe to give her mine.

Lessgo! It's going to be a fantastic day, heading out to Middleton Plantation later, will fill you in afterwards, woohoo!

Support small business, Daniels Island trail

3 Jun 2024 11:23

6.2.24 Lovely day at Daniels Island, followed the trail behind the dog park towards the Right, past the tiny cemetery and over the wooden bridge to North Dock No. 1. Unfortunately no snack shack to get water or refreshment for the pupup. The Dime had outdoor seating but no service unless you go inside, super cute though from the outside. Looked like alot of other shops and eateries at that location including the trail going further if you have the time
