  This Little Piggy ...


This little piggy went to market.

This little piggy had no home.

This little piggy ate all the roast beef.

This little piggy got none.

This little piggy went wee wee wee ... till it was gone.


An Early Present ...

If you've been wondering about Willie, he found us!

In the bitter cold after Thanksgiving, Willie found his way to a hospital. I'm not sure how, his feet were probably froze. All I know is; Willie was gone and now he's back.

But Willie's missin' a digit. The doctors had to amputate one of his toes. I don't know the particulars. I do know that Willie is outside today. And he joined us for lunch.

I think Willie's looking pretty good. What do you think?





Willie has a voucher to stay at the Salvation Army. I'm not sure what kind of service he'd get at the SA; he would stay with other vulnerable adults there. I've heard that the 3rd floor can be a tough place. Willie says he doesn't like it there. Maybe he doesn't like the food. Maybe he'd miss his family.


I know that my Grandpa didn't like staying in an old folks home, but he did until the day he died. I think my Grandpa died of homeless-loneliness. I knew my Grandpa pretty well.


So ... Willie's back. And, I'm not so lonely now!


I can't speak for Willie though, I don't know the particulars.

Everything you do in this life – for good or bad, or for naught – you take to Heaven with you when you die. The good you do is not nearly as important as the bad you leave undone.
