Porte Musings:

My new Engineered Hardwood floors arrived yesterday and are sitting in a pile on my den Floor. Tomorrow they are being installed. Then we have to finish the preparations for the vinyl floors.

All the while my cats are so interested in what’s happening. They won’t leave my side. I think they remember going to Florida and Texas and they think we’re getting ready to leave for the season as it’s getting cold outside. So on National Cat Day, I’ll pet them and assure them I wouldn’t leave without them.

Today we remember World Psoriasis Day. What seems like a minor rash (major disfiguration for some) and irritation can have severe long term effects. If not treated the ongoing inflammation leads to Psoriatic Arthritis. Get treatment for your Psoriasis and avoid the secondary issues.

Feed your stomach and soul on these cold mornings with a nice bowl of steaming Oatmeal. Celebrate National Oatmeal Day with a little bit of brown sugar.

After having such a wonderful time at the baby shower for my niece we enjoyed a walk around the farm and visiting with their mare, Gwen. The children were thrilled to be so close to such a magnificent animal as Gwen stretched out over the fence for them to pet her.
