Long story short: my sister’s husband didn’t make payments on a truck that he acquired last summer. A bailiff visited in order to repossess the vehicle, and my brother-in-law brought out his loaded gun! At some point, “R” shot out the tires on the truck that was about to be seized. At another point, more … Continue reading
It is indeed a gorgeous day, clear and warm. I’m indoors just for a little break: Gary got home from his work and I had a couple of messages to pass on. I will talk to you, my friends, and then go accomplish some great thing outside. Or some little things. I’m trying to stay … Continue reading
How did a whole week go by without me chatting to you, my friends? Had a pretty interesting Saturday, I have to say. I’ve become pretty passionate about “the new house” again, and made a bigger scale-model floor plan to dream and scheme by. I can share the photo of my drawing, not that you … Continue reading
No, I didn’t win the lottery. But it feels like I won a lottery, maybe a small one. Yesterday, I applied for the building permit on the little house I planned for McBride. I was worried, as I’m not an engineer or an architect (yet). I’m barely competent in home design, nor have I learned … Continue reading
I have calmed myself. The weather has improved today, from pouring rain and heavy cloud to just the sogginess and lighter cloud cover. There’s fresh snow on some of the mountains. About noon, I took off to visit the “transfer station”, post office, bottle depot. I planned to lend my truck to friends, and didn’t … Continue reading
Click on the thumbnails to see a bigger photo. Don’t even try to make sense of my title. Some days I have work, chores, or drop-offs and pickups scheduled so closely that I forget to eat breakfast OR a lunch, but rarely do I miss both. Sometimes schedules go out the window too. I’ve worked … Continue reading
When the press was here for my anniversary party two weeks ago, I stated that we have the capacity to board up to about 25 pets. After that, I blathered on about how there are factors such as how many animals come from each family, and if they can be kenneled together. I also stated, … Continue reading
It’s very good to be busy. I’m not busy like other grooming shop/boarding kennel owners are busy, but my days seem full. Like almost everyone I know, I’m not getting any younger. The others are … well, you know. Today I groomed these two little cuties, Angle and Molly: Before Angel and Lily came for … Continue reading
It has been a good day. I wasn’t happy that poor Gary was delayed at Revelstoke because of highway closures for avalanche control, but that has been resolved and he’ll be on his way home tomorrow. He has had a great ski vacation. I didn’t really accomplish much today. Most of the time, I was … Continue reading
Just after politely declining any funds from “Cupcake Day for Animals”, I’m asked to participate in a very small-scale rescue. In the first incarnation of this story, I was asked to take in a chihuahua and two to three cats, in the capacity of “fostering”, without any remuneration at all. Now that I’m as old … Continue reading
