Yesterday I thought today I’d be back to my regular routine, usually writing about things that have happened to me. But my good friend Mother Connie sent me these Halloween photos and I feel that I would be remiss if I did not share them. I’m guessing that once again they’ve come her friend, a …(Read More)
Yesterday was an interesting day. We started our day by going to Howl-o-ween, a Halloween festival for dogs. I was going to post the photos I took, but my camera phone ate some of the photos. I don’t know what’s up with that. I’m meeting with Nate later. Hopefully he can tell me what’s up. …(Read More)

Evelyn took everyone out to lunch on Tuesday for Doug’s BD. They put a basket of hot bread with real butter on the table in front of me. I attacked that basket of bread like I was going to the chair. (I might’ve actually let out a snarl or two). I had a small steak, …(Read More)
Fall is almost here. It is far and away my favorite time of year, Spring’s OK. I like the thunderstorms and the burst of color from plants that bloom early. Summer sucks in Houston- hot and sticky, then hotter and stickier. It’s good though if you want to feel like being in a rainforest in …(Read More)
