Parenting, it seems, has become more difficult with all of the additional demands on our time. Most of the companies we work for pride themselves are taking up as much of our time as they can. They say they don t want to, but they do. This means that more working parents are trying to find new and creative ways to spend time with their kids, and even grandkids than they ever have before.
The above photo was taken by my friend. Her husband was away for business and their daughter missed him so much she asked if her daddy could lay down with her when it was time to go to bed. Thanks to FaceTime, he did just that.
Pet of the Week from the Vanderburgh Humane Society!
Meet Barb, the third-longest resident at the Vanderburgh Humane Society. The 4-year-old brown tabby is the perfect mix of sugar and spice, according to Amanda at the VHS. Plus, she loves both people and cats until she s done for the day (can t we all say that on certain days?). She also likes to use her paws for play, which leads to her being a little rough at times, but if you don t mind a little sass in your felines, Barb might just be the perfect companion for you.
Amanda says Barb has lived with several cats in multiple places, she doesn t stir the pot very often, and isn t afraid to stick up for herself when she feels like she s being picked on.
My Facebook friend, Maggie, unexpectedly captured this photo at Waverly. It is a remarkable vision of a ghostly image moving past the doorway. You can even see the image of a leg and a shoe.
For the most part, we ve been pretty fortunate this spring in terms of the weather. Outside of a few rounds of heavy rain here and there, it s been a relatively quiet severe storm season for the Tri-State. It looks like that may no longer be the case today and tomorrow.
According to the National Weather Service in Paducah, Kentucky, the entire Tri-State is under an enhanced risk for severe weather over the next 36 to 48 hours. The first, and main, threat will roll into the area later this evening and into the overnight hours because, for whatever reason, Mother Nature doesn t like doing things during the day. The second threat is expected to enter our area later in the day Thursday afternoon however, they don t expect it to bring the same potential level of intensity as round one. Although we are talking about the weather, so that could change at a moment s notice.
