Monday …

Sunday was pretty relaxing, other than my angst about my sewing projects. I have never been gifted at anything, but I feel like I’m out of practice for even simple projects. It’s a tiny bit of comfort that even the most basic comforters will be appreciated by Susan (and Linden), and Sarah (and Ethan). I’m … Continue reading →

Sunday …

Yesterday morning, I groomed this wee darling, Gucci. His owner had clipped him a bit, and kept apologizing for the kind of job she felt she had done. There was no need for apology at all. I evened him out a bit and trimmed the parts that had been difficult, like feet and face. Late … Continue reading →

Saturday…

Keto schmeeto. 🤦‍♀️ What a bust yesterday was to my “eating plan for life”! Mainly, I’m just watching the carbs, but I had a day of watching them fall into my mouth. A friend (who is also a customer) stopped at noon, handed me a box of TimBits and said, “We were thinking of you … Continue reading →

Friday …

… already so soon. 🤷‍♀️ Yesterday’s trip to town was a social event again. I laughed with the staff at Welcome Home, Spyder Enterprises, the grocery store, Advantage Insurance. One might almost think that I miss socializing and want to “catch up”. 😉👍 I plan to go back today. McBride AG Foods will get a … Continue reading →

Thursday …

How could it be Thursday so soon? Yesterday was an easy day … yah, I keep having those. 🤷‍♀️ Clipped little Winston’s nails and he didn’t once try to bite. I had a nice visit with his owner, who just had a baby one week ago, her third little girl. ♥️♥️♥️ I worked for some … Continue reading →

Wednesday …

The week is still young, or at least only middle aged, but I can almost lose track because Monday was a holiday, Family Day. Not that that really matters to my pace or my schedule. I found a few minutes yesterday to measure out some fabric for a project: a tiny 🤏 step in the … Continue reading →

Tuesday …

Other than a phone conference with a banker, there is nothing much on the schedule. One of the Kinder Morgan pipeline crew may or may not bring his dog. The pet might or might not stay overnight each night, but the pipeline construction is more than an hour away, so I’ll be surprised if the … Continue reading →

Monday …

I didn’t start today’s post yesterday, and now I hardly know where to start. Usually, I have photos at least tweaked and loaded, and an idea about what to say to you. 🤗 We are cold again! I guess that’s relative: it is beautiful and crisp: -20 C again. The guests are cosy and fed … Continue reading →

Sunday …

Ahh, Sunday without too much work planned seems as a Sunday should be. We have the parrots Max and Loco, and doggy guests Luna and Max, Minna, Milo, Happy & Mini, and the cat Herman. Even the pets that I was a bit worried about have settled in well. I turned down at least five … Continue reading →

Saturday …

Sitting in the recliner on Friday afternoon. We’re waiting for our Kim to arrive … she’s almost here from Calgary with her new co-pilot, Bruce. Friday was busy enough, without too early a start. Happy and Mini arrived for boarding for a few days. I have trained myself not to chirp, “Have a nice time!” … Continue reading →
