My long time friend, my “oldest” friend Debra, has painted me a picture. As you might have gathered, it is christened, ‘Garden Party’. As usual, one can see a larger image by clicking on a small image. I am not in possession of the painting yet, but Deb and I have formulated a plan whereby … Continue reading
I have been so tired for the last few days. I have fallen asleep in front of the TV (American politics: who wouldn’t?) in the day time, had some trouble with brain fog, feeling heavy on my aching feet feet all the time. What’s going on? Though I like to think of myself as not-a-complainer, … Continue reading
and, “It’s got to get worse before it gets better!”, and “It’s all just glass.” “Start in any corner.” is advice from the late mom of my childhood friends, on the subject of housekeeping. The next quote is from Myrtle, on the same subject, specifically deep cleaning and purging of extra stuff, or minor renovations. … Continue reading
Hope you all have a good weekend. Friday’s almost over, I realize. It has been a very pleasant day. Slept until 7, took care of dogs, and then made and had breakfast and coffee with my Shelly. We have boarders Sheena & Kylie, Axel, Carly, Baxter, Sandy, Rosie and Festus tonight. Chester just went home. … Continue reading

The above two pictures don’t look like the same cat, but they are. Friends who have seen this kitten say that he’s a … Continue reading
I don’t have much to say today. I have every reason to be grateful. We have already rejoiced in having a great deal to eat and drink, and will be dining with a crowd of friends tonight again. Have a crowd of four-legged friends to celebrate this weekend as well, so I’m running away to … Continue reading
No dammit, I am not on fire myself, but dinner was. After lovingly applying a beautiful spicy rub to a chunk of brisket, and babysitting it all afternoon, only having to quench one fire in the BBQ, I decided to nudge the heat up just a little. I also wanted the roast vegetables to be … Continue reading
Shih Tzus and Shih Tzu cross dogs are the mainstays of my grooming business. It used to be that poodles and cockapoos were my most frequent clients. It’s funny how breed popularity changes over time. I love most individual dogs, regardless of breed, so I don’t care how the trends go. Monday was just for … Continue reading
It’s Rosh Hashanah! Although neither Gary nor I really follow the religions of our roots, we like to observe pretty much any holiday or occasion which involves feasting. Yom Kippur involves fasting, so we ignore that. Yesterday, I posted a picture of the last of the apples from our trees, and coincidentally this morning I … Continue reading
