How has this happened? The summer is going by too fast. We hide out from the heat many afternoons … we put on Netflix and just “veg”. The house stays quite comfortable. So does the kennel building. Both of us try to make the mornings count and book farrier or grooming work while it’s cooler. … Continue reading
I don’t want the lack of a clever Blog Post Title to stand in the way of chatting to you. Have been relaxing for a few moments, having made a lunch for Gary and sat to eat too. Shelly came along and helped us with the rest of the chicken vegetable casserole and quinoa. The … Continue reading
When I awoke and realized this was Sunday, I was pleased. We don’t attend church nor formally observe this day of the week as Sabbath, and it wouldn’t be Gary’s Sabbath anyway.
