Surely someone out there would like to meet this pretty young lady?

PETITE PEANUT MOLLY STILL NEEDS REHOMING!
Did you ever have a roommate (or 2) that just irked you? Well, 5 year old Molly is in that situation, with a large dog and bullying cat, and understandably, is stressed out. Her family adores her but knows she deserves better, so they are seeking a new home for her.

Molly loves feather toys and when she’s really into it, she flips over on her back and scratches with her back feet, so cute! In addition to watching the world outside from her scratching post tower she loves to snuggle in her favorite bed. Like many kitties, Molly starts off a bit shy, but with time and patience, when she’s comfortable with you, she will let you know by talking and showing you her belly. (She loves belly rubs and head scratches!)

Molly’s family just wants to find her a home where she can thrive and be the sweet happy kitty she once was. If you’d like to meet her, please contact [email protected]. Molly is located in Purcellville, Loudoun County, Virginia. (About 45 mins. west of Fairfax, VA.)

Lovely word.

A way to remember the puzzling three.

Goldilocks and the three 'theres'! Young Goldilocks went through the woods and THERE she found a cabin. She knocked on the door but no answer did she HEAR. She slowly opened the door and found that the occupants had THEIR beds all made up nice and neat. She decided that since THEY'RE not home she would snuggle down and take a nap.

Word of the Day: Merriam Webster. flotsam, a noun, floating wreckage of a ship or its cargo, or floating debris. Miscellaneous or unimportant material. Example: "The young couple's apartment was adorned with the flotsam and jetsam of thrift stores and yard sales. OR "A current moves at its own pace and pushes along whatever flotsam it carries on the surface and below in a stream awash in chaos and chance."

My word for the day: Virulent. Adjective. Emphasis on the first syllable. Marked by a rapid, severe, and destructive course as in virulent infection. From Middle English, from virus or poison. Synonyms: bad, catty, cruel, spiteful. As in how I behaved yesterday. I owe an apology or two. Maybe three.

Merriam Webster's Word of the Day: furlong, noun. a unit of distance equal to 220 yards (about 201 meters). Usually used in reference in horse racing.
You could also use this as a math problem....another teaching moment.
Ask your child how many feet are in a furlong? Now ask how many furlongs in a mile?

Merriam Webster's Word of the Day. Garniture: noun. GAHR_nih-cher. embellishment, trimming. set of decorative objects as vases, urns, or clocks.
I see, now, where the word 'garnish" comes from. i.e. Garnish your plate with parsley.

Not only do we need to hear, but we need to listen. Learning opportunities are everywhere.
