World Humanitarian Day

JM: Did you know that yesterday was World Humanitarian Day? 

Toby: Nope. What's that?

JM: I'm not quite sure. It just said that on a calendar that I saw.

Toby: Maybe it's a reminder to be good to other people.

JM: Sounds like a good plan to me. It reminds me of children at the Mexican border. Toby, here are some of the stories they told and illustrated with Doctors Without Borders. Let's look at it together in The Art Part today...

From Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders)

Thank you, Pajaritos.

Thank you, Medecins

Susie didn't let us down. She sent us another one of her paintings...

________

Architecture came from Wendy. We have pictures from her visit last week to Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water. She stopped there on her drive back home from Cincinnati where she'd transported Aidan for his Junior year...

________

Walking the halls here at Dock often takes me by a certain doorway to an apartment in the assisted living section of our senior's homes. It is always adorned with interesting, often seasonal or holiday-related embellishments. They are never the same. This time it was outstanding...

________

Over time, Wendy's kitchen has seen refrigerators come and go but somehow the magnetically attached memorabilia and art always found a new home...

Our artist friend Paula Borchardt has something to say about how she finds her topics for every week of her Substack blog. Go to Paula Borchardt - Visual Storyteller and find out, plus this past week's art. All 21 weeks (!!!) of her publications are there, too, if you need to catch up or want a close-up look at her and Carl's part of The Arizona-Sonora Desert.

Toby: Thank you. That was a good week for art! 

JM: You're welcome.

Toby: I have to go catch up with my to-do list.

Toby, let's get right to the point and visit The Art Part:

What a great treat that Keoni and Aidan were both at the farm at the same time! Amidst our happy visiting, was a pause for a mini-concert...

JM: Toby, now that you're relaxed from visiting the arts, it's a good time to tell you that I made an appointment for you at the veterinarian.

Toby: Arrrrggghhh. 

JM: What's the matter? Do you have a hairball?

Toby: No. Why do I have to go to the veterinarian?

JM: Because it's time for your annual visit. 

Toby: What are they going to do to me this time?

JM: Oh, immunizations for rabies and such. Check for worms, too.

Toby: I thought that de-wormer you bought online that Wendy keeps smearing between my shoulder blades got rid of the worms!

JM: It's because a test will show if the stuff is working to keep you worm-free.

Toby: Do you have worms?

JM: Yes. They're not quite the same as yours. Mine are ear worms. Do you want to hear one of my ear worms? I've had it for 60 years... Ear Worm *

*Complements of "Word Jazz" --Ken Nordine

Toby: Stop, stop!!! Go get Wendy to rub that de-wormer between your shoulder blades!!!
