Hi everyone! Thank you for all the get well wishes for Typhoid Mary yesterday. She recovered very quickly from surgery on Friday and is going to school on Monday. She got to bring her stuffed giraffe ( Raffie) in the OR with her and they even put the mask on him to knock him out. 🙂

We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays .

Dusty is posing with a good book I just finished. The Joy of Connections: 100 Ways to Beat Loneliness and Live a Happier and More meaningful Life by Dr. Ruth Westheimer is a great book filled with tips on enjoying life. This is the last book she wrote and the only one of hers that I ever read of hers.

I know Dr. Ruth is mainly known for specializing in one area, but she led quite the extraordinary life during her 97 years. She survived the Holocaust, but lost all of her family. She was a sniper for the Israeli army, a kindergarten teacher, a therapist, a mother, grandmother, and so much more. It is a short little book, but well worth reading.

    1. Yikes I’ve no idea how that stray “no” got into the post! Shaky fingers these days tap lots of wrong letters, autocorrect, etc. Comment ended with XO.

  5. I’m glad you reminded me about Dr Ruth. What a hard life she must have had and thankfully she ended up living a wonderful life. And I’d say dusty is living a Wonderful Life.

  8. I missed the surgery. Not blogging Thursday through Sunday I miss stuff. I’m glad all is well. Healing hugs.

    You always read the coolest books.

    Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week, Ellen. A hug to you and lots of scritches to the kitties. ♥

  9. Glad to hear TM did well with her surgery. How cute they let her take in her giraffe and masked him up too. So precious. Dr. Ruth was an amazing human who inspired people. I’ll have to check out her last book-thanks for the recommendation. Happy Monday.

  11. Dusty ~ you are adorable and what a great book suggestion ~ ^_^

    Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

  18. We hope the surgery to remove the adenoids will help Typhoid Mary. Our human sister had that done when she was little because of so many strep throat issues and ear infections. It did seem to help.

  22. Letting her take “Raffie” is a great idea. After all, there are no germs on her own stuffie she isn’t exposed to already, all the sterility is so the environment and staff don’t expose her to anything she’s not used to.

    Dusty is a beauty and the book sounds like a great one from someone who knew a lot more than I ever will.

  23. Chaplin: “We’re glad to hear Typhoid Mary did well with her surgery, and that she got to bring Raffie with her! Having a little friend along helps with that kind of situation.”
    Charlee: “Yes, I heard that when our Dada was in the hospital, our Mama got him a stuffed gnome that he called ‘Substitute Charlee’ and took with him when he went for tests and stuff.”
    Java Bean: “Ayyy, I bet you wish you, the Actual Charlee, could have been there with him instead of Substitute Charlee, eh?”
    Charlee: “Ha ha ha ha ha ha no.”

  24. Dr. Ruth was more than a woman who seemed to have only sex on her mind. lol Seriously, she led an interesting life to say the least. A sniper? That blows my mind! I’m amazed to read stories of those who survived the Holocaust. This sounds like a book I’d enjoy. Thanks for sharing, Ellen. Have a boogietastic week, my dear! xo
