#Meteor
Yesterday EJ and I were enjoying a quiet, peaceful evening at home. Luke was in EJ’s lap and Hannah was on mine. Suddenly, EJ pointed at the window and shouted, “Whoa! What is THAT?” I quickly looked out the window as Hannah leaped off… Continue Reading “#Meteor”
Magical Diamond Dust
The sunrise this morning was gorgeous. The skies were mostly blue all day and the sunlight made the ground sparkle, as if the snow had been replaced with diamond dust. It was absolutely magical and I truly felt as if I live in an… Continue Reading “Magical Diamond Dust”
Madeline’s Surprise
I had an interrupted night of sleep. First, I heard Hannah jump off the bed to welcome JJ home from work. I often wait up for JJ, but not if he gets home too late. Last night he didn’t get home until midnight. I’m… Continue Reading “Madeline’s Surprise”
The Joy of Hannah
We had some really cold days and nights here. EJ said that one morning our thermostat said -6. On that morning it wasn’t long before my face and hands starting hurt when I went out to do my morning chores. I tried to blow… Continue Reading “The Joy of Hannah”
Piper and Hannah Joy

Hannah Joy Learns Hebrew
Happy 2018! EJ and I didn’t stay up to see the old year turn into the new one. I think we went to bed at 10:30 or 11 pm. We becoming old geezers. Oh, well. As soon as I got out of bed this… Continue Reading “Hannah Joy Learns Hebrew”
Hannah Joy’s Enchanted Collar
We took Hannah Joy to the veterinarian yesterday afternoon. The vet checked her over, gave her a couple vaccines, and answered our questions about feeding her. This vet works closely with the county animal shelter, which is just down the street, so she was… Continue Reading “Hannah Joy’s Enchanted Collar”
Holiday Week
This week is zooming by. I wouldn’t have minded if it had slowed down a bit so we could savor EJ being home. It didn’t, and it’s already Friday. Wednesday EJ finally got his new eye glasses. He chose bolder glasses for the first… Continue Reading “Holiday Week”
Snowy Days
I hope everyone had a tremendous Christmas! After we moved to Northern Michigan, we started a new tradition of going to the theater to watch the latest Star Wars movie on Christmas day. We were all set to do it again this year, but… Continue Reading “Snowy Days”
Grandma’s Feather Bed (And Darth Luke)
I hope each of you have a restful, peaceful, and delightful Christmas Day! Last night when EJ and I got into bed, Hannah Joy jumped into bed between us. Ah, well, we let her. I’m not sure we could have prevented her, but we… Continue Reading “Grandma’s Feather Bed (And Darth Luke)”
Introducing Hannah Joy
Despite my greatest efforts, I was unable to resist temptation. I gave in. I failed miserably….well, to be honest, I actually failed joyfully. Yesterday our local animal shelter posted at Facebook that they would be open for adoptions from 9 a.m. to noon on… Continue Reading “Introducing Hannah Joy”
Pet Craving
Yesterday a group of JJ’s friends came over to go sledding on our driveway. There were five adults and two kids. JJ said that there would have been more but some of his friends couldn’t make it. They seemed like nice young people. I’m… Continue Reading “Pet Craving”
A Sweet December Weekend
Friday morning I snowblowed the driveway in hopes that the mail lady would deliver packages that were scheduled to arrive. I worked hard and did a good job. As soon as I finished, I walked down to the mailbox. The mail was already there,… Continue Reading “A Sweet December Weekend”
Winter Has Arrived!
I think winter has finally come to stay. We had 4-6 inches of snow over night. It snowed all day today and I think more snow is on the way. With all the snow, I decided I ought to snowblow the driveway this morning.… Continue Reading “Winter Has Arrived!”
Dog-Gone Memories
Today we are grieving Danny. His loss has left a painful hole in our hearts. We are flooded with memories: Every now and then when JJ was younger, he and I used to stop at a store in a nearby town called Soldan’s. It primarily… Continue Reading “Dog-Gone Memories”
