I will try to make this brief, but I want to cover all the bases also. BEFORE: I had dreaded this test, and here’s why: First, for most of my life when anyone I knew had one, all I ever heard was how painful it was and how miserable afterward. Second, the effects from the …

Birthday Fun + Pig Roast! May 5-6, 2023
These are some video and photos from my birthday weekend; on the actual day I spent it with my Petey who indulged me and we did whatever I wanted to do! Then the next day we had a pig roast! Between the photos and the video I believe we have most people included; however there …

Thursday “Throwback” Thoughts – May 11, 2023 Edition: Dogs Part 4
I know I have photos of Spanky Marie somewhere…real photos, not digital. I have boxes of pictures somewhere. But not where I can put my hands on them. Because she looked like the character that she was. When I’ve talked to people over the years about their dogs, most will compare all others to one …

Supernal Sunday – May 7, 2023 Edition: Observations
At yesterday’s pig roast that we hosted here at our home we had about 30 guests. As I looked around at them and at our surroundings I marveled at how we came to that moment. Every single person there had a part. Every relationship, whether familial or friendsome, had a place and a purpose; nobody …

Thursday “Throwback” Thoughts – May 4, 2023 Edition: Dogs Part 3
This isn’t Lady, but this is her type. And she wasn’t, technically, my dog… My college roommate, when she bought her first house, invited me to live with her and share expenses. Soon after, we drove way up to northern Michigan (from Ohio) to visit her mom, who had Lady as a guard dog for …

Day In The Life – Day Trip to Gladwin, MI (includes meat haul!)
Today didn’t turn out ANYTHING like what we’d planned! But we can wash blankets at the laundromat anytime, right? I have mentioned before that we have about a dozen larger towns and smaller cities within an hour of where we live; Gladwin is one of them, though we don’t go there often. We go THROUGH …

Monday Memories – May 1, 2023 Edition: My Mom
My mom, Renee, would have been 87 years old today. Naturally I always think of her on this date. As I was growing up we had a blast together! She taught us (my sister Gwen and me) lots about grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. I remember many impromptu “spelling bees” as we were riding in the …
