Monday’s Blog (How’s that for original?)
This week's winners are: Mary Marcincin and Eugenia Riddick. Congratulations, ladies. You will each receive an autographed book by moi. And a new round is underway: to enter, simply comment and cross your fingers. 🙂 Two winners will be chosen at random, notified...
Meet Button and Wiki
The upper photo is Wiki, the 10 year old. He's a love bug for sure. Below is Button, aka Buttingo :)--I can't resist nicknaming my critters. Wiki, of course, is sometimes addressed as Wikipedia. Button is 20 years old and very spry for his age, and both of them are...
First and Foremost
Sincerest thanks go out to every veteran of the United States Armed Forces, from George Washington's Continental Army to the present day, and certainly to active-duty personnel serving everywhere in the world, along with their families. The American way of life would...
Another disappearance into cyberspace!
And just when I was bragging about my new router, too. This PC ate the bulk of my blog! Errrgggg! Is it any wonder I'm switching to Mac???? Once again, our winners are Teresa Woodby and Alice Johnson. Ladies, your autographed books will be on their way shortly. ...
Phew! ETC.
I have a new, kick-a** router, so my internet connection problems seem to be over! That being the case, I hope to be able to blog much more regularly. Thanks go out to Jenni's fiance, Dustin, who is a wiz with all things technical.
It’s a bean soup kind of day
Dateline: Spokane, WA. It's cold and overcast today--in other words, we have perfect for weather making--and eating--bean soup. I have a batch simmering on the stove as I write this, and the beauty of it is, everything in that brew is a power food. Yeehaw, Zero...
And Suddenly It’s Thursday
The older I get, the faster time flies. We're enjoying fabulous fall weather here in Spokane--crisply cool and sunny. We actually harvested a watermelon yesterday; quite tasty. Still have tomatoes, too, and you know how I love them if you've been reading this blog...
The Saga Continues….
But first my Weight Watchers report. After two weeks of travel, I am amazed and happy to say that I LOST 2.2 pounds! Yeehaw! The truth is, I was getting a little careless, but now I'm fully re-committed for sure. Ready to conquer new ground. 🙂 Gettysburg was...
I’m back from my travels!
Where have I been? Well, dear blog following friends, it feels like everywhere. 🙂 We'll start with my visit to Dodge City, Kansas, at the end of September, where I attended the 60th anniversary of "Gunsmoke", that iconic television Western that I, for one, well...
Monday Stuff
Winners: Maxine Luckie and Socorro Smith--congratulations! Normally, I would announce a new contest today, but because both Jenni and I will be traveling a lot over the next few weeks, we're taking a temporary hiatus. Have no fear, though--the drawings will be back...
September 11
May we hold the victims of the attacks of September 11, 2001 in the warmth and reverence of our hearts, today and forever.
Elvis and the Bunny Slippers
I needed some cheering up. That's my excuse for buying 1) an Elvis Presley piggy bank, complete with golden sunglasses and 2) a pair of bunny slippers. 🙂 (I did need new slippers.) I laugh every time I look at the bank, let alone drop change through the slot, and...
