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 …

Thursday “Throwback” Thoughts – April 27, 2023 Edition: Dogs Part 2
My second dog had a sad ending. It wasn’t my fault, or his…according to breeders and even an animal behaviorist I consulted… As soon as I graduated from college and got my own place the first thing I wanted to do was get a dog. Within days of moving in I was at the shelter …

Fun With Poicephalus Slide Show – April 26, 2023
Just some sweet times with my “PoiBoiz”, Maxwell (red-bellied parrot) and Elliot (Meyer’s parrot) this morning. I’ve had them for well over 20 years and they are my sweetest, bestest, smartest, funniest boiz!
VIDEO: Vlog #2149 – April 25, 2023: CHANGES and FANTASTIC DAY!
This was a great day! I spent most of the day out in the Tent Shed doing laundry in my little portable washer (that makes laundry fun!). Our helpers, meanwhile, were here working and our landlord (we lease this huge lot) came to pick up the yard waste that our helpers had cleaned up last …

Monday Music – April 24, 2023 Edition: Oh, How I Love Jesus
Our grandson Leelan was with us from birth through preschool and we did a lot of Bible reading/memorization, and a LOT of music! This was his favorite song during his early years, and I can’t hear it or play it without thinking of him and remembering those years, with his sweet little voice singing along! …
