Bonnie Folz calls to say that there was a reported Vivi sighting yesterday morning in the Valley Stream area. If true, this means that Vivi has headed east of the airport, crossing out of New York City and into suburban Nassau County.
Bonnie asks that if there is anyone willing to post fliers around Valley Stream State Park as well as the streets around Franklin General Hospital, please contact her at pawsativebf@aol.com.

Thanks Denise!
Can anyone from NY tell us what Nassau County
is like?
What would you like to know Susan?
Gotta leave work now Susan, I imagine you are asking about topography. Nassau Co is large- citylike in areas and rural in others. We have airports, parks, houses, apartment buildings, malls, big streets and little streets. 287 square miles. Not sure if this will help with your question but here's a website all about Nassau Co
http://www.nassaucountyny.gov/
Hope this helps.

Thank you lydia, I'll check out that link. Sounds like such a large area to cover, taking out ads would be real important.
Now that Vivi has changed her address and moved into Nassau County it's important that we get flyers up. Barbara-Jean lives in the immediate area where Vivi has been sighted and noticed that one of her flyers had been removed - we believe this may have been done by the person who called in the sighting.
To that end, anybody who would like to help preparing flyers, the flyer form was posted this week and is a few threads below this one. For anybody who doesn't know where to send them, they can be sent to me as follows

Yes, that's in Nassau but on the North Shore or the other side of Nassau.
Thank you in advance to anybody who can help with the flyers.
Diane
There were a whole bunch of flyers by the Valley Stream State Park and Hendrickson Park.

This is what we needed to make the blog a kinder gentler place. A reported (general0 siting and a chance for action, not passivity.
GREAT NEWS to those who wanted morning prayers! Betty Layne will be your voice in the morning-- kind of God's DJ. Trust me while you're all included in my prayers on the ride to work (about 30 minutes away!)I'm not too coherent. I do intend to be at 8:00 Mass at St. Mary's tomorrow to plead your case. For those of you who don't like the preaching, scroll past it fast. You won't get hit by as much prayer dust that way. Just love that sizzling noise when it makes contact. Back in a few with tonight's offering!
There are two important feasts in the Jewish and Christian Religious tradition which are celebrated this weekend both are so appropriate.
Shavuot (Feast of Weeks)
*June 2 — June 4
Shavuot is the Feast of First Fruits on which Jewish ancestors used to go up to Jerusalem to praise YHWH for having blessed the first fruits of their land. This feast marks the giving on Mount Sinai of the holy Torah, the source of both spiritual and material prosperity, since blessing and abundance depend on keeping the word of YHWH.
Pentecost
June 4
“All those who are guided by the Spirit are the children of God” (Romans 8:14). Since we are all children of God, this is a challenge to us to listen to the voice of the Spirit within us, let ourselves be guided, and so truly find Peace.
Psalm 42- 8 (NIV)
By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.
Creator God, Father Almighty, Gentle Shepherd, WE PRAISE YOUR NAME! Rosa knew You were up to something-You guided sweet Vivi to a kinder terrain!
All is perfect in Your time. You have renewed the lost energy of Vivi's Angels.Please, compell some of them to return to duty, and cast their differences aside. Ask them to do it for You and one dear sister (Vivi) in creation. Thank you for the care, and protection You have shown Vivi, and her little buddies on the lam--Sniffles and Biggie.
Let them trust this weekend. Let them come home to their earthly parents.Let our trio, and all the homeless sleep peacefully under Your loving gaze. Let all the homeless know Your love through our acting in Your place.Thank you for the healing taking place in Susan, Madison, and Baby Girl. Thank you for the healing taking place in Dante, Murphy, and Felice. Send a special miracle for Nell, and support her owner Sue G. Support Yoda and Barbara Jean. Hold Duke in your arms and cuddle him, let him know that there are people who love and care about him--they just don't happen to sit on NY legal benches. We can't wait to see him one day, and let him know how much we care.Pair him up with someone who will spoil him rotten until then. Embrace all who will make the journey to heaven tonight! Crown them with Your love and glory. Find us a place when we end our journey. Don't lose us.
(We'll just take care of the animals.)Support and Bless all of the NYC foot soldiers, and Vivi's Angels. Let them hear Your voice as they discern Your will in reuniting Vivi with her family.Put them on a Path to see Biggie and Sniffles ,too.Send Your animal loving host, Your angels, and Great Saints Francis and Anthony to support and protect them. They honor You through their work for all Your animals. Thank You for all animal rescue workers everywhere. Bless their compassionate hearts!Let us sleep well tonight as we turn over the watch to You! YOU ARE IN CHARGE! AMEN!
Psalm 42:1
As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.
(Is there an actual stream(s) in Valley Stream?)
Candles anyone?

Sharon from MI:
To answer your question about Valley Stream:
The name Valley Stream dates to 1843, when Scottish immigrant Robert Pagan lobbied for a post office. He was advised that the community needed a name. Pagan chose "Valley Stream" based on the region's valleys and small streams. In 1843, the U.S. Post Office formally accepted the name of Valley Stream.
Valley Stream also has the distinction of being one of the only towns in the United States that does not have any others with the same name in other states.

Tara from LI
This the address for Holy Name of Mary Parish in Valley Stream is it feasible for anyone to take flyers there?
Holy Name of Mary R C Church: (Rectory - 0.6 miles E - 55 E Jamaica Ave, Valley Stream, 11580 - (516) 825-1450)
I just talked to the pastor he said anything we sent could be put in the bulletin or they would post flyers. Fr. Tom implied(he was nice) that they get too many requests for announcements at Mass that they can't honor all of them. People this parish has a huge blessing of the animals in honor of St. Francis each October. What does this mean?
The place is chocked full of animal lovers who would certainly be on the look out for Vivi. Others might be willing to help you post!
Long story short- Can someone please get them some flyers! (No Fax machine)They're your kind of people!
First Mass is at 5:30 PM this afternoon.
"ALL WILL BE WELL, AND ALL WILL BE WELL, ALL MANNER OF THINGS SHALL BE WELL" (St. Julian of Norwich)
Julian of Norwich was a self imposed hermit of the 14th century. (There is a specific name for this position, but darned if I can remember it.)She was a "world balancer" someone who went off to the desert to pray for the world, and her only contact with it was when someone dropped off supplies. She chose as her only companion, a little cat. (I love dogs, but I like this woman's style.) St. Julian is considered one of the great mystics of the Church, and God spoke to her in response to her intercessory prayers with the words:(in addition to those above.)
"I may make all things well, and I can make all things well, and I shall make all things well, and I will make all things well; and you will see yourself that every kind of thing will be well. “All shall be well.” (Try to ignore that message!)
There are about 15 minutes left in the 3 O'clock hour. Shall we exercise a little knee power?
Oh, and all will be well.
(I remembered the name for a person who volunteers to live in solitary contemplation- An Anchorite.
Who knows it may be the answer to the Jeopardy question that will win you a million bucks one day!)
