Tuesday …

Up kind of early this morning. I wondered why I couldn’t go back to sleep and realized I had gone to bed right at 11, after snoozing in the chair for some time. As seems to be my norm, I had slept through the ending of one episode of a favourite series on my “murder … Continue reading →

Monday …

Darby arrived this morning for a few days. I warned them about our icy driveway: of course her owners had just come up it, but it’s more dangerous going downhill. They laughed when I told them that, when I almost went into the ditch yesterday, my first thought was for Mica’s safety in the passenger … Continue reading →

Olive grabbers and fruitcakes …

In my efforts to declutter, I came across a silverplate piece of cutlery that I think was identified to me by Myrtle long ago. Uncharacteristic of me, I forget the exact conversation, but I think my stepmother described this as a very specialized utensil. I will call it an “olive grabber”. Both Gary and I … Continue reading →

Sunday …

Yesterday seemed productive, if you call “chipping away at this and that” productive. I went through several bins of Christmas decorations and repaired a few items, listed some for sale. That activity was worth a few walks back in time. Almost all of what I had in basement storage was gained after leaving the farm … Continue reading →

Saturday …

By Friday noon I felt profoundly tired. So did Gary. I surmise that some of the fatigue was caused by the weather: socked in and snowy but mild enough to be muddy. 🤷‍♀️ It was all I could do to make a trip to the post office, but I wanted to send away my “Secret … Continue reading →

Friday …

Much of Thursday afternoon was spent waiting for nice folks to pick up their Facebook purchases. I’m pleased about getting stuff gone. Done and gone. 🤷‍♀️ A friend came by with fruitcakes. I like fruitcake. It’s not keto, of course, but if I’m going to treat or cheat over Christmas, I might very well choose … Continue reading →

Thursday …

Up early again this morning: simply couldn’t sleep after 5:15. Who cares anyway? Though we generally have a quiet household, I rather like hitting the brew button on the coffee, stoking the fire, and catching up here, with emails, and on Facebook. The wind is fierce outside, but it is so still and silent in … Continue reading →

Wednesday …

I’m starting this post with my feet up on Tuesday afternoon. I’m exhausted. But it has been a great day anyway! Cindy brought her Yorkshire Terrier for only a bath and tidy-up. We always stand and talk in the driveway, catching up, after I have done my work on “Charly”. Tuesday, when not busy caring … Continue reading →

Tuesday …

Good start to the day … I awoke thinking it was 2 am., but it was 6:30. I felt well rested, so that made sense. 🤷‍♀️ My plans are rather, uh, fluid today. I have one little dog for a “light grooming” (not always sure what that means, but we’ll discuss it). Later I might … Continue reading →

Well oops …

Monday! I didn’t blog this morning, and though I wasn’t too busy all day, I didn’t think to write a post. It was a good day. In the morning, I had three of the best little dogs to groom, then we had lunch, and then I finished a couple of creative thingies. I sorted and … Continue reading →
