Hello from the 21st century. I feel like I’ve just woken up from a long sleep- a Rip Van Winkle long sleep. Believe it or not, I am typing this on my very own Dell laptop. That’s the good news. The bad news is I can’t get it to work at my house right now. …(Read More)
From what I’ve been told the worst is finally behind me- kidney wise- at least for now. That’s a good thing because after last night I don’t know how much more I could take. Yesterday was my post op visit AKA stent removal. Never having to have one removed before I really didn’t know what …(Read More)
The world is full of strange people. Another one made the news just a couple of days ago. Personally I wouldn’t do what that guy did. (Streaking during a storm that is.) A piece of flying glass could’ve changed him from a rooster to hen in the blink of an eye. But for the most …(Read More)
My vacation with Evelyn is over. But that’s OK. It was great. And for those you that have been waiting with bated breath for a description of the final two days of our historic trip here you go: (Don’t freak out; it’s not all minute by minute.) 10am- breakfast at Vintage Villas 11- stupidly caressed …(Read More)
As I still sit here in Austin, I’m happy to report that Blackie is just fine. Brett went home yesterday to check on her. Maybe she was just missing her folks. Our pack is very attached to us. Go figure. We’ll be home this afternoon. Since we were I was working in a dirt parking …(Read More)
We went to the Texas Renaissance Fair yesterday. Amanda had free tickets and since Brett was in town for her birthday we decided to take the day off and go, just hoping we could get everything ready in time for our country club show Thursday night. A cold front blew through late Friday night and …(Read More)
I’m happy to report that we’re back home and everything in my world is going to be OK. For a few brief minutes yesterday I was uncertain about that. Now the explanation. We spent the weekend in Austin with Brett. We hadn’t seen him in 6 weeks or so and we were happy that he’d …(Read More)
Last night we went out to dinner with Brett. It was really good, Southern comfort food. (More on that later.) While talking to a guy at the restaurant I kept referring to him as “young one”. Now a bit of explanation- I call almost everyone “young one” or “kiddo”, figuring that probably 75% of the …(Read More)
You know after 28 years of marriage I knew what to expect this morning; I did. And I tried to get there to prevent it; I did. But the fates conspired against me this morning. First, let me explain. For those who don’t know, Doug and I are in Austin until Monday afternoon working at …(Read More)
I’m happy to report that our pack has been reunited. We arrived home late last night, much to the delight of Daisy, Blackie and Blondie. As soon as they heard the key turn the howling commenced, followed by an inordinate amount of tail wagging, jumping and puppy kisses as soon as we entered. It was …(Read More)
