24 Hours In The Life…

A couple of photos from last night, first… Maisie and Chuy when I tell them to “look at me” – it’s a great thing for them to know when they’re getting too interested in something that they shouldn’t be! The underside of a moth on the bedroom window – pretty cool, eh? Today we did …

My Own Little Corner

Everybody needs their special space I think. Somewhere to sit when you want to just read a book or check your email or talk on the phone. Since we bought this motorhome 3 years ago I haven’t really had one. I do spend a lot of time propped up on pillows on the bed, but …

Thrift Store/Aldi Haul

Pictures rather than video – YAY! Flip through, see what wonders we found and how much $ we saved today! These were a GREAT find! Since our little male dog – who shall remain nameless – tends to potty in the house whenever he’s left alone or during the night (mostly) we are just thankful …

Love Savin’ Me Some $$$!

I wish I’d thought of this sooner! But I buy the soft training treats for Maisie’s outdoor work, it holds her attention better and is a more rewarding reward. For most things we get the Charlie Bear treats, they both love them. They also like Alpo’s Variety Snaps…but anyway… The soft training treats are very …

No, It’s Not An Elephant!

I’ve been messing around with Mastodon, the social media site that is part of the fediverse…because GUESS WHAT! I’ve been missing the IRC (Internet Relay Chat) in its original form for many years. And though Mastodon is often compared to twitter, I find it also reminds me of a modern-day IRC. So last week I …

Surprise in Ann Arbor

Today we had a long (157 mile) drive to Ann Arbor that started at 6:44 a.m. But first, of course, the dogs got their breakfast, as they do every morning. I’m typically asleep during their routine but today I got a chance to see – and record – the way Pete handles breakfastime for Maisie …

Amish Store Shopping, Fish Dinner

We had a great time getting out to one of the local Amish stores to do some shopping (Pete got enough snacks to last until the snow falls I think!) and then to go to a local diner for their Friday night fish dinner. (Friday night fish dinners are a Thing here, you know…) It …

Social Media: Its Role In My Life, pt. II, with BONUS – Being A Social Site Newby

This blog is a big part of my answer to my issues with social media, with the goal of posting my content here rather than in a half-dozen or more other places. Everything that anyone is used to communicating with me about will be in one place. That is, so far, resolving my growing resistance …

Social Media: Its Role In My Life, pt. I

I’ve been involved in social media before it was called that, starting in the 80’s on one of those 300 baud cradle modems to find “evidence of life” as I thought of it, then CompuServe, local BBSes, then the IRC. Social media has become something that nobody could have dreamed of 30+ years ago! And …
