Good Morning. Here is your wake up call – no coffee necessary. This video appeared in my Facebook news feed when it was shared by Kevin Sorbo.

While I still prefer Elvis’ version, So Hyang does a wonderful job singing Bridge Over Troubled Water. 

May this lift your spirit today.

Enjoy!

Simon and Garfunkel 

“Bridge Over Troubled Water”

When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I’m on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on, silvergirl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Rommie’s Post – Part 1

Introduction

Just before bedtime on adoption day. I was so tired! Photo by Joe Kearns

Woof. Woof.  Hello There!  My name is Rommie (rhymes with Mommy) Kearns.  I am the daughter of Michele and Joe.  Mom decided to take a few days off so I hacked her computer to post my story.

I Meet Mom and Dad

One October day Mom and Dad came and played with my sister and me.  My sister had a pretty red coat and mine is a pretty gold color with red highlights.  Mom and Dad both noticed I had a mellow streak.  There were times during our play session I would sit and chill while my sister was the energizer bunny.   Since both Mom and Dad worked, they figured it was best to adopt me.  The next day I moved in with them and immediately became spoiled rotten.

Our Life

We had a pretty normal life, at least up until Mom and Dad got the harebrained idea to foster my fellow golden cousins.  There have been about 10 dogs in and out during the 3 years they fostered.  The first, a pair of sisters, stayed 7 months.  Was I ever glad to get them adopted out and back to being an only child.  It was okay having foster brothers and sisters around but I never really liked anyone enough to have Mom and Dad adopt a brother or sister.

Katherine

Daddy was having a health issue when foster-sister Katherine came to stay with us.   She was mild-mannered and quiet, until the snow plow came down the street.  Then she would run down the hallway barking at the noise it made.  I don’t know about you, but I like to be sound asleep at 2 a.m.

Once her ear infection went away we held “meet and greets” with potential parents.  None of them were acceptable to Katherine.  She even snapped at one person.  Whoever heard of a golden snapping at someone, especially while being petted?  Oh well, all things happen for a reason.  Katherine knew she was needed here.

Daddy Leaves To Get Fixed

One day Mom came home from work and was very, very happy.  She helped Dad get cleaned up and once he did, he petted us while Mom called the men in blue.  Then Katherine and I were shut in the spare bedroom. We heard the men in blue talking to Mom and Dad.  Then Mom opened the door and we ran and jumped on the couch.  Looking out the window, we saw the men in blue put Daddy in a big red truck and drive off to the human vet hospital.

I never saw my Daddy again.

Coming tomorrow – Part 2
