 This little stray cat has decided to own us ... we are working on getting him into a rescue because he is so sweet but not neutered and we are already at our cat limit.

 Glory named the stray cat 'Jackson' after Jackie another foster we helped who was just as sweet.



 Open windows ... fresh air ... ahhhhh  ... spring love






 Jackson is a character ... still trying to find him help ... its hard to help a cat in this county.

She loved it even more than basketball!

 FINALLY got a rescue spot for Jackson !!! 
Glory got tulips in his memory 'so he can come back and visit us every spring' He is very happy in his foster home and it turned out he was Felv positive.  So its a good thing he got help when he did.

One of my favorite quotes this month



Wearing Yellow for her friend James ! Pediatric Stroke awareness day.

We have had a really great April !!! May can only get better!  Glory is continuing to excel in typing and math. She loves audio books and can read much better than she can write. This is connected to her brain inflammation and autoimmune disease, P.A.N.S.  But even with the frustration she loves to learn and to continue to grow as a student and as a person.  My favorite Glory quote of the month was when she was playing with her new neighbor friends and the older brother said 'He took my toy! take it back for me!' about his little brother.  Glory boldly said 'No, sorry but i'm not aggressive' Then her friend said 'but i want it back !!!' and she said.  'Try asking for it back'  And he did ... and his little brother gave it back.  I love how big her heart is and how she always tries so hard to be a good friend.
