The Loneliness of An Empty Dog Bowl
This weekend, we said goodbye to the first of our three old dogs. The problem is all pets grow old, but I'm glad to have loved them.
2018 Journey
My word for 2018 was journey and it certainly was a year to grow and change!
Life Goes On
Gretchen Rubin has often said: The days are long, but the years are short. I realized that part of why I’m not blogging is that I’ve been busy with so many other things. It’s not good or bad, it’s a season in life. Last year, my favorite boy toy and I traveled extensively, both in-state…
Half and Half
So what happens when I go in the yard to take pictures? A miniature pinscher goes on full alert to guard me as I carelessly walk around the yard, oblivious to all the dangers that could be out in the street – like Mom’s pushing strollers and worst of all, old Grandma’s taking a walk…

Must Have For A Night In
Today’s topic for 30 Days of Lists is what must I have for a night in? In chronological order (you can see the sequence from getting ready to settled in): Hot popcorn Diet root beer Afghan on my lap Animal sleeping in my lap (preferably not a 120 lb. mastiff) My favorite boy toy in…
