One Cute Dog!
Here's Tule, breaking every ordinance against being too cute to be believed. I guess it wasn't enough to be ON a bed, he wanted to be UNDER one, too. 🙂 He and Mowgli, his partner in crime, hauled the dog bed up the pet steps and then Tule crawled beneath it....
Welcome to a new week!
Before we get to this week's winners, I want to say thank you for all your comments and particularly for sharing your own experiences with loss. You are all so open and so brave, so generous with your prayers and your kind words, not just for me, but for all our blog...
Ladies Who Lunch
I went to lunch with Mary Ann and Jen today, and even though I'm still feeling sad, it was good to get out of the house. We visited a favorite Mexican restaurant, talked things over, laughed a little, and enjoyed each other's company. Life goes on, thank heaven, and...
It’s Been a Hard Week
Monday evening, a dear friend's husband lost his brave battle with cancer. In addition, we recently lost Jo Beverley, a writer I have known for many years. So many good-byes. If possible, I will blog tomorrow, and try to be more cheerful. In the meantime, I need to...
5 Reasons I Love Tuesdays
I love Tuesdays. I know, sounds weird, but there it is. 1. I especially enjoy the Tuesdays that follow a three-day weekend. Although I enjoy holidays as much as the next person, I'm basically a social animal. I like to have people around, and the ranch hands are...
A Day To Remember…
For me, Memorial Day is one of the most important dates on the calendar. It is a day of quiet reflection and of respect for those who have gone before. It is a day of gratitude to those who have sacrificed so bravely to assure our freedom. But it is also a day...
Excuses, excuses

Let’s Pretend It’s Monday
Or not. 🙂 I spent Monday recovering from Sunday, which was a lovely if very busy Mother's Day. Wendy, Jeremy and I visited Mom at her new place; she's in assisted living and very happy there. Honestly, the place is marvelous, resembling a good hotel in many ways....
Stuff and, perhaps, nonsense
I'm glad to report I did well at Weight Watchers yesterday--down 2.6 pounds. I'm back on what used to be called Simply Filling, and doing well. For a while there, I really slacked off and, of course, I began to gain weight again. Yikes! For a long time, I just...
Winners and Other News
This week's winners in the contest are: Carrie M. Schlawin and Susan Mae Lincoln. Congratulations, both of you. As for everyone else, please comment to enter the current round. That's all you need to do; two winners will be selected at random, and each will receive...
Where have I BEEN?
So many places! First, my apologies for the long silence. As you know, Mom recently moved into assisted living, and there was a lot involved, even though I must admit my sibs, Jerry, Sally and Pam, have done most of the work. Mom's a collector, and she has quite a...
