5 Things We Learned This Week (Eyes, Advent, napkins, Browns, animals)


Eye Doctor

Gerard was referred to another doctor because one of his tests showed he didn't have good peripheral vision on his right side. If it was up to him, he wouldn't go but I will be making an appointment for him. The doctor said I really need to make sure he goes because it could indicate some neurological disorder.

Advent

I learned that Advent has colors: pink and purple over at It's Just Life's "So What is all the Hoo Haa About Advent." Beth Ann posted a cute Advent video you should go see. I always thought of pink and purple together as just a girlie color combo.

Napkin Folding

At our Women of Wonder meeting last night, I learned there are lots of different ways to fold cloth napkins to make your table look special. Also, when done eating, the napkin should be placed to the left of your plate. Maybe I'll try doing a video demonstration next week.

Browns

I woke this morning to the sad news that the Browns once again lost 14-3 to the Steelers and were in the "Red Zone" twice and couldn't get into the end zone. Our QB, Colt McCoy took an illegal helmet hit--one of the reasons I didn't want to watch this game is because I didn't want to see Colt McCoy getting clobbered again.

Wolf Dogs


After reading Part Wild by Ceiridwen Terrill, I learned that "Wolves do what they want. Dogs ask 'What do you want me to do?'" p. 131. Wolf dogs are hard to contain because they have a natural instinct to roam, are very destructive, they are very strong and powerful and may go after other animals without being provoked, need lots of freedom and exercise, and although may be friendly as pups, can turn on their owners and become very aggressive, not to mention howling a lot which disturbs neighbors. It really made me appreciate our wonderful dog all the more!
