Yeah, okay, it’s not the dog days of summer. But for cryin’ out loud, I had to come up with a title! So, here’s a lesson for ya: What ARE the dog days of summer? They’re generally considered the period of summer that is hottest, normally July and August, right? But why do we callContinue reading “Dog Days of Summer”

Of Dogs and Water Features
Well, I missed a week. What can I say? Last week, the creativity juices were just not flowing! I was reading other peoples’ creativity, but not only could I not think of anything to write, I had a bit of a problem wanting to write. Sigh. And I’m told I should be a writer. AContinue reading “Of Dogs and Water Features”
Lent 2012 – Day 44 (Thursday)
Well, we’re in the final stretch for Holy Week. Lent is nearly over. Easter is around the corner. And it’s time for “Eric’s Newslets” once again (see my post of March 14 for my first newslets post.) The day I posted my last post about the dog, I arrived home and found the my passportContinue reading “Lent 2012 – Day 44 (Thursday)”
Lent 2012 – Day 22 (Wednesday)
Gosh, over a week since I wrote last. Lots of “newslets” but nothing really serious to write about! So, I guess I did not succeed at my hope of writing daily through Lent. Sigh. So, let’s go over some of those “newslets” (small newsy type items). I’m getting a triple root canal today. One tooth,Continue reading “Lent 2012 – Day 22 (Wednesday)”
Snow Glorious Snow
Sheesh! I let down my guard, and see what happens? I promised three posts a week and delivered. Then I said “OOoh! I can’t DO that, I’ll only do one!” And here we are, two weeks later. No post last week. I guess, to make up for it, I shall have to attempt to writeContinue reading “Snow Glorious Snow”
These Boots were made for walking
And that’s just what they’ll do… A long, long, long time ago, in Eric Years anyhow, I was diagnosed with Diabetes… this was back in April of 2005. I remember the day. It was “Donut Day” at work and I’d just had about my 20th donut (slight exaggeration for hyperbolic effect) when I started havingContinue reading “These Boots were made for walking”
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”
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”
Mixed Feelings
It’s been a good Thanksgiving Weekend. Thursday morning, I made up three batches of Rum Balls for a Christmas Party Scott and I are having next month. I think I was beginning to get drunk just from inhaling the fumes! I finished with just enough time to shower then head over to Dad’s to pickContinue reading “Mixed Feelings”
