Fur Babies

I’ve shared here over the last few months how I’ve taken up walking one of our neighbor’s pups during the day. Toby is a handsome king charles spaniel and is just the sweetest boy. Well, he and his human Joe left for the season earlier this week. I missed saying goodbye to him as we…

Run Away

Ya, I’d be fibbing just a tad if I said I’d never thought of doing this. Sometimes this world gets so crazy you just want to run away from it all, make it go away. It’s been a long week, lots going on, juggling many priorities, and my brain was a little overloaded. You all…

Wisdom from Paul, Harvey That Is…

Simple words this morning in this little blog my friends. Paul Harvey was an incredible orator. He had a beautiful way with words and I think these are so worth sharing right now.

Recipes and Rising

Yesterday afternoon I got a call from my granddaughter saying she was helping to make dinner and wanted my recipe for cucumber salad. Awww, my heart was happy for so many reasons.
