Good Morning!

Good Morning!

Posted on January 29, 2019 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

I’m sharing what’s left of this fine morning with you dear folk. While I “tackled” the pot of coffee that Gary left for me earlier (this is a ski day), I have spent almost two hours looking through emails and Facebook. That, of course, is after caring for the few pet guests we have at … Continue reading →

Cleaning, sorting, and all that jazz …

Posted on January 27, 2019 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

If I spent as much time cleaning and sorting as I spend thinking about that, I’d have a spotless and organized home. I guess I’ll never be a “minimalist” as are some of my friends. I’m unlikely to be on a reality series episode about hoarding, either, partly because I’m cognizant about my tendency to … Continue reading →

Beautiful days in the neighbourhood(s)…

Our front yard a few moments ago. Photo by Gene Blackman, of nearby Mica Mountain. From hot tub last night. The nearly-full moon looked breathtaking last night … photo doesn’t come close. We’ve had our Sunday breakfast, which was eggs Benedict, with “real” hashbrowns from frozen baby potatoes. I’m stuffed. Yesterday, I ventured to Dunster … Continue reading →

It was a routine type of day at the Pet Hostel. Every day is different, but some are just quiet and easy compared to others. Regardless, I always feel that I’m in the company of the best of friends. My friends. Friends from Tete Jaune Cache brought their sweet dog, Snowy, for grooming this morning. … Continue reading →

Louie & Jake …

Posted on January 17, 2019 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

It was a pretty intense grooming day here. Louie is a purebred Golden Retriever, only 8 months old but very sturdy and large. Even as a youngster, he is quiet, curious and respectful. It didn’t take much time to bath and brush the puppy and trim his nails. The older dog from the same family … Continue reading →

I know … another biblical reference made by an agnostic. Oh well… sometimes man-made adages just fit no matter where they are found. My “cup runneth over” with joy and gratitude. It is a gorgeous day in the neighbourhood. Of course we might still experience some harsher winter weather and hellaceous driving conditions, but here … Continue reading →

Here I am on Saturday night, in Gary’s recliner with my feet up, watching “Tidying Up” on Netflix. Yes, I’m still in that mode: good intentions, great plans, plenty of time available on many days. The host of the series is the author of the book, “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” that I … Continue reading →

More sad notes ðŸ˜¢

Posted on January 6, 2019 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

Yesterday we learned that a friend (of our age group) had succumbed to cancer. Jim gave a valiant effort to surviving, and he will be missed. His son and stepsons went to elementary school with my (Pat’s and my) daughters at Dunster, and high school in McBride. During the day, Shelly became aware that her … Continue reading →

Sending bigs hugs out, especially to those who need improved quality of life in 2019 and beyond. We were awakened by folks in distress at our door, at … Continue reading →
