While adjusting to a new member in our family, and the inevitable changes in lifestyle (I have to take him for a walk in the bitter cold at 10:30 at night… THAT is a big adjustment) life hasn’t been all fun and puppy kisses. Many of those who get my updates are members of myContinue reading “Some Thanks and a Request”

More on Our New Puppy
Okay, as I’ve said before, he’s not a puppy. But it’s hard not to think of him as a puppy. He’s got the most charming personality, and loves to give doggy kisses! As I mentioned before, Gary wasn’t sure he liked the puppy’s name, and was considering changing it. Monday, Gary says “I really don’tContinue reading “More on Our New Puppy”
Ophidiophobia
My last post briefly referred to the “snakicidal tendencies” of my earlier years. I really was quite surprised at the number of people who have commented on that portion of my post, a post primarily about a new dog! Those snakicidal tendencies… probably better referred to as herpetocidal tendencies… stem from the fact that IContinue reading “Ophidiophobia”
New Member of our Family
Anyone who knows me, knows I love animals. Especially dogs, with cats coming in a close second. But I love all animals. I used to hold out some of that love for snakes. I hated them. I viewed it as my duty to society to eradicate as many of the slithering critters as possible. However,Continue reading “New Member of our Family”
Taxes, Our Responsibility, Our Right
For over a decade, I have relied on the services of TurboTax for preparation of taxes. Each year I do Scott’s taxes, my taxes, Gary’s taxes (his are EASY) Dad’s taxes. I used to do Pam’s taxes. If I had to do these manually, I’d be stuck up a creek! By and large, though, withContinue reading “Taxes, Our Responsibility, Our Right”
Forecast be Danged!
This morning, Scott and I dutifully watched Channel 6 weather so we would know how to plan our day. That dreaded four letter word was used. Snow. But, the good news was we were told we could expected a few flurries, and a light dusting. It’s been snowing steadily, and heavily, for the past 4Continue reading “Forecast be Danged!”
Some News
Hey friends & family, I’ve just learned, after a 4 day silence during which I had come to believe that the worst may have happened, that the young man, Tyler, whom I asked you all to pray for back on Tuesday, was brought out of his coma today. His condition is still guarded. He isContinue reading “Some News”
Prayers Requested
Hi all. This prayer request comes from the brother of a friend of a friend of someone I kind of know. It doesn’t really matter how I know him. I just know this. A young man by the name of Tyler has been in a horrible auto accident, and is now in a coma. HisContinue reading “Prayers Requested”
Princess Nikki
Scott and I share our lives with Princess Nikki. Or is it Princess Nicky? Or Princess Nicki? Or… well, we never have, really settled on a spelling for her name – but that’s neither here nor there. For information how this little darlin’ came in to our lives, you can read about it here. PerhapsContinue reading “Princess Nikki”
Let it Snow – NOT
Welcome, my friends, family and others, to the year 2010! Over the past month, we’ve gotten more snow than I can recall in a very long time! I do remember more… but I was a kid then! I think it was the winter of 1970/71. My cousin and I and some friends were able toContinue reading “Let it Snow – NOT”
