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”
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”
Life at the Post
I took a beautiful photo of Josette sitting on the gate post in the blue-ish early morning light. I am totally in love with sweet, beautiful Josette. I am delighted at how she joins me each time I go out to care for the… Continue Reading “Life at the Post”
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”
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!”
The First Day
The weather has been very changeable. One day it is cold and snowy and the next it is warmer and rainy. At the moment, as I write this, it is snowing. The National Weather Service is forecasting that this winter “above average precipitation is… Continue Reading “The First Day”
Stories in Black and White
I have been participating in a Facebook challenge. This may seem like a no big deal, whatever, kind of thing, but I almost never, never, ever participate in group challenges. Never. This might be the first, in fact. I recognize and accept that a lot… Continue Reading “Stories in Black and White”
Six Degrees of Comfort
Yesterday was chilly and I was cold. I don’t know if I was so cold because the weather went from “warm enough to wear t-shirts” to “cold enough to wear a winter coat and hat” in just a few days. Or maybe the dampness… Continue Reading “Six Degrees of Comfort”
A Friend For Annie
For the last several days we have been experiencing record high temperatures in the mid-90s. Although it’s now autumn, the temperatures are higher than any we’ve had this summer. In fact, the National Weather Service says that our temperatures in Northern Michigan this weekend… Continue Reading “A Friend For Annie”
Morning Scolding
We had been hearing for several days that a strong magnetic storm had hit the earth, meaning that the Northern Lights could be seen far to the south. The first two days thick clouds hid the stars so we had no chance of seeing… Continue Reading “Morning Scolding”
Shades of Spring
Today it is rainy. It is a steady all day soaking sort of rain. It is supposed to rain through Tuesday, I think. We could get a couple of inches. I’m thankful we are not getting as much rain as states like Oklahoma are… Continue Reading “Shades of Spring”
The Day After
Sunday night I didn’t sleep well. I ended up driving downstate to finish loading our possessions and then closing on the house, and driving back, and helping to unload the uhaul trailer on only about 3 hours of sleep. This morning when EJ woke… Continue Reading “The Day After”
Howdy Neighbor
I am often indecisive about whether or not I should share my personal story about abuse. Some people believe that we ought to never share any negative story about anyone. Others believe that in sharing our stories, we can help others through similar struggles. I… Continue Reading “Howdy Neighbor”
