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 …

June 29, 2020 ~ A Sunny Kind of Day
Since my vlog subscribers are used to hearing from me a few times each week (which I will no longer be doing), I’ll be sharing things about my more interesting days here, with pictures. I got to spend my whole day with Pete, which is my favorite kind of day! We were up early – …

The Vegan/Low Carb Backstory…
I eat low carb because it makes me feel good. I started eating this way in 2004 and knew it was a lifetime thing, I love all the low carb foods AND that I can make reasonable fascimiles of those carbier treats! Pete eats – well, not vegan exactly, he has his occasional moments when …
