Friday …

Friday again so soon, already? Sorry if you are tired of reading that: it’s as true this Friday as it was a hundred Fridays ago. Even so, I feel tired, as if the week has actually been lonnnngggg. At this moment, it’s 6:37 am and -27° Celsius… I’m tired of the cold snap. ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ Thursday … Continue reading →

Thursday …

Yesterday, I almost miscued. I would not have wanted to turn down Casey, one of my most frequent doggy guests, with great owners. Wednesday morning, all the indoor “proper” kennels were full. And then I thought, “Oh no … where will I put Mary Margaret??” The gentle black lab mix was not due to arrive … Continue reading →

Wednesday …

Things are kind of … normal around here, if you will. We have so many blessings to count, not too much work, not a great deal of stress. I did turn away a few boarders for this week: a few dogs, and one cat who would need some intensive nursing care. I’ve noticed (from Facebook) … Continue reading →

Tuesday …

Woke up late this morning, phone ringing at 6:45 (robocall/marketer), Gary meditating in the other room. I had been dreaming of the TV series ‘Yellowstone’ 😂. We’re still coping with the nippy weather. I guess you could say that “it’s what we signed up for”, but I can hardly wait for the cold snap to … Continue reading →

Monday …

Yesterday, Boxing Day, was spent doing what we had to do to keep boarding dogs, cats and parrots comfortable. We also stayed warm enough … Shelly’s friends Cherri and Stan brought their two horses to board here. This will be company for Zoey (who they helped train). Gary and I have been watching ‘Yellowstone’, a … Continue reading →

Happy Boxing Day! What day is this anyway?

I am a terrible Nana … Before you are too quick to defend me, and though I appreciate it, I will explain. The short version is that I sent to Juno, among other things, some pretty socks wrapped in an old iPad box. Who knew she would be crestfallen that she didn’t get an iPad … Continue reading →

Saturday … Merry Christmas!

Our party started with Shelly and Adrien’s and Zev and Sharon’s visits. As usual, I’ve made enough to feed the proverbial thrashing (threshing) crew, or a small army. Sharon brought wine, an appetizer tray and delicious garlic mashed potatoes, even though we often go to dinners at their home “empty handed”. I always start a … Continue reading →

Friday …

Today I need to get crackin’! I had planned to do more preparation for our “big” Christmas dinner but was busy, then tired. Ah, but if something happened that we only had sandwiches with friends and family, that would be okay. I’m not Martha. Thursday afternoon, I managed to sneak away for a car ride … Continue reading →

Thursday …

This morning I was up and out the door earlier than usual: I swear I was shovelling snow in my sleep, or instead of sleeping. I can’t always leave all that work for my Gary. We were outside working together, and I remarked that we must have got 8” overnight. Gary said that it was … Continue reading →

Wednesday …

Tuesday went well to a point, after a point. 🤷‍♀️ After finding a chicken dead, I got on with my day. Little Molly is gentle and calm. Even though she has lost her eyesight, she still has a wonderful quality of life with a family who loves her. After Molly, however, I met my match. … Continue reading →
