I’m not complaining about the mild winter we’ve been having, but I hope everyone realizes it just isn’t right. Winter is supposed to be cold. We’re supposed to have snow and ice and lots of it.
Found this photo of my younger brother taken in 1964, next to a snowman my older brother built. Can’t show [...]

Happy Holidays. No matter what you call it, how you observe it, or what it means to you – may this Holiday find you warm, healthy, happy, sheltered, well-fed, and loved.

My elderly mother cannot tolerate rodents of any shape or form. This amazingly strong woman, who raised six children (in the country!), ran her own business, accumulated a closet full of ballroom dancing trophies, looks like she’s 70 instead of 89, still has her own teeth and can hear you talking about her just fine from across [...]

Saturday I cut a cedar tree for Christmas and with the help of some friends, managed to get it set up and the lights on. Last night I put a few ornaments on it, but didn’t finish. Barely got started actually. I did put the tree skirt around the bottom, and left it at that [...]

Rob sent me a link today for a news story about a wolf hybrid that saved its elderly owners. The link is here: Wolf story. Rob and I both hold wolves in high regard, but this story is close to my heart because I had a wolf hybrid for 10 years, and she save me [...]
