During this pandemic and its related quarantine, I’ve learned quite a bit about myself. I love sitting on the front porch and watching nature. I love having my husband work from home. Oh, and evidently, I’m both a neatnik and a total slob at the same time. Think these two ways of living can’t possible […]

By the time you are reading this, I will have returned from my trip to New York City. I go once a year for a professional conference. As I write this, it’s a couple of days before I leave. But one of my dogs already knows. I have no idea how he knows, but he […]

I’m a morning person. I’m not exactly sure when this happened because I have clear memories of my Mom having to do everything short of setting off a bomb in my room to get me up when I was in high school. Now, I tend to wake up between 5 and 5:30… Yes, that’s A.M. […]

For the most part, Riley is a happy dog. He runs around all the time. If he had the ability to play 24/7, he would.

Riley hadn’t gotten a new toy recently. So he decided to find one on his own. We had a Homer Simpson stuffed doll lying on the kitchen table. One of us had found it while cleaning out the basement. My husband decided that he wanted to keep it. He likes The Simpsons, and I had […]

One morning, my husband and I were talking before we got out of bed to start the day. We sometimes do this to avoid the actual “getting up” part for as long as possible. As we were talking, he felt something strange under the sheets. He felt around and pulled his hand out. In it […]

As you can tell by past posts, Riley is an, um, unusual puppy. And just one of the different and cute things he does is that he plays Santa year ‘round with my stepdad. How does he do this? Well, for some reason unknown to us, Riley loves to carry items from throughout the house […]

When we envision the holiday season, we tend to think of beautiful, twinkling lights, sumptuous meals shared with family and friends, and days filled with love, happiness, and joy. And if you’re stuck in a Normal Rockwell painting, that’s exactly what it’s like. While the holidays have a ton of great times, let’s face it—it’s […]

I don’t like bugs.
Really. I can’t stand them at all.
Okay, I like butterflies, but they are pretty. So I guess I don’t like ugly bugs, which leaves quite a few kabillion of them.
But I live by the adage of “Live and let live.” If they don’t bother me, I won’t bother them.
