Something Very Cool Happened Yesterday!

When I got Maisie in May 2018 I had 2 different DNA tests done. One of the companies sends me notes when another dog’s DNA shows a relationship between that dog and Maisie. So far they have found a number of her relatives with scores of 27% shared DNA (a grandparent, half-sibling, or aunt/uncle) or …

Thursday Thoughts – Jan. 28, 2021 Edition

I’d mentioned before that I’m studying the book of Colossians. I want to tell you what that means to me, because everyone has a different idea of what “studying” the Bible means. The Lord started leading me to Colossians a couple of months ago. I was all about Thessalonians at that time, though. So I …

The Story of The Hour-long Salad

(GWEN – WARNING! Potential bird call alert!) It isn’t a pretty story…but one that must be told. Yesterday Pete brought me a half-dozen cukes he saw on the discount produce rack of the grocery store. I do love cucumbers! And, because my favorite way to eat them is as “boats” filled with chicken salad, I …

Golly! I’d Totally Forgotten!

I guess I should be used to it by now, but I happened to stumble across 2 old blogs of mine! I thought I hadn’t blogged in well over a decade, but apparently I had…as recently as Oct. 2020 in one of them which I KIND of remember – I recalled bits of the post …
