Do I look preoccupied, Readers?
Pensive, perhaps?
Pensive, perhaps?
When someone is lost in thought,
people say this,
Ask any elementary schooler and they will tell you the phrase is an idiom.
A penny for your thoughts, Momma Doe.
Did this loud but loving family kick you out of the woods?
Eloise got lost in thought in the wonder of this sky--
upper atmosphere smoke from the wildfires gave the evening an ominous glow.
There certainly is plenty to think about lately.
High school sports
A penny for Bison # 5___'s thoughts after their loss to the dog pack.
School is on Mrs. Eloise's mind 90% of my waking hours.
Becoming so preoccupied with thoughts is not good for a person.
When I seek some peace,
I head to the water.
Extra bonus last Sunday,
A storm was coming in over Lake Erie!
Rides through the vineyards to get to my neighbor's farm stand
also helps to clear my mind.
Hazel co-pilots and also requests a blanket
now that the evening air is turning cooler.
We don't go anywhere without Hazel.
She's grown so attached to us that we felt it was time
for her to have a four legged friend.
We put in an application a month ago to adopt
from a very special place run by very special people.
I'd like to volunteer there after I retire from teaching someday.
We got a call about some puppies that came in as an overflow
from a No Kill Shelter in Indiana.
This tiny girl found her way to Firman Road.
Hazel took a liking to her right away.
Readers, meet Penny.
After two and a half days of deep thought,
careful consideration,
and lots of arguing,
we all agreed Penny the perfect fit.
My nephew pointed out the LOST connection.
The real Eloise Hawking would be very pleased.
If you don't care for the name,
here's advice from the Lamp Post--
just keep it to yourself.
Eloise
