Mystery Read-A-Thon: Thus is Begins

It is 7:30AM and I am just about ready to start my 12 hours of reading for this event. I had hoped to start an hour and a half earlier, but puppies (as with children) don’t always cooperate. Raven was up much of the night due to sore teeth – she is teething and is [...]

Catching Up…

…on Awards

The lovely Terri at Reading, Writing and Retirement tempted me to participate in this meme – she gave me the letter “M” and my task is to name 10 things I love which begin with this letter. Ready?
M & M’s – who doesn’t love these candies? My favorite way to eat them is one [...]

Another Thank You, Awards and an Update…

Once again, I want to thank everyone one has sent an email, a card, or written a comment about the loss of my fur baby Caribou. Your words have been an enormous comfort – they remind me that we have all experienced these kinds of devastating losses and survived them. Several people also posted on [...]

An Update and Thank You…

Caribou, Kip and I thank you for the numerous comments, emails, good thoughts and prayers over the last few days. You have no idea how much it has meant to us. Caribou has responded very well to the pain medication and there is a twinkle back in her eyes (and she is telling Argus [...]
