First of all, I called the vet’s office and they said Miss Mimi is doing fine, and is still sleeping the anesthesia off.  I am thrilled!  I can’t wait to have her little rascally self back home and back to normal.  The woman on the phone questioned me about my pain meds at home, and [...]

God gave me a pretty good little inner voice.  The problem is sometimes it’s too little and I don’t listen to it.  Take this Christmas morning, for example.  I was outside enjoying absolutely gorgeous weather.  Still in my comfy pajamas and slippers, I was watering various plants as my dogs were romping around the backyard, [...]

“Who does she think she is? I mean, whose Christmas picture is this? Mine!  I’m wearing the festive Christmas garb! “ “I want treats.” They’re not called “Baussies” for nothing!

As for the treats this Halloween weekend, what did the kids get?  Well, last night they got a scoop of ice cream in their dinner bowls.  Today, they got new toys to play with.  These are hard core squeaky toys, and they’ll only be able to play with them in the house as long as [...]

I had to water the front yard today. It’s not been scorching hot, but it is dry enough that I couldn’t ignore the brownness any longer. This groundcover is supposedly a weed, but I love it. It stays low to the ground. Even when I mow, I don’t cut this greenery. It has flowers that [...]
