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 …

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 Thoughts – Dec. 29, 2022 Edition: Happy Birthday, Pete!
He was a different man when I met him back in 1998. We met online. Both married before. Both devastated. Both ex-spouses were now with others. Both angry, and backslidden. Both of us determined to never fall in love, or get married, again. Casey & I and my grandmother were living happily together in the …
