Actually, I’ve been holding out. Dressed up the cement-pooch mid-June.  During a thunderstorm, he lost his hat, but darling husband found it – dirty and wet. Suck it up pooch, you still have to wear it. Happy 4th y’all.

My brother-in-law’s mother has been getting hospice care at home.  My sister asked if we would take mother-in-law’s cat. You know the answer. Well today, mother-in-law entered a hospice home and we got the call to come and get the cat. Enter Moose. How this sweet little guy got such a brawny-beefy name, I’ll never…

I was ready to write about the particularly rotten day I had yesterday, when I saw something on YouTube, and it just stopped me in my tracks. I subscribe to a number of recipe sites that send me e-mails with links to recipes for my consideration. Because of this, I’m guessing, YouTube has started suggesting…

Today has been a spectacularly rough day for me. So for dinner, we decided to have a treat and have pizza from our local pizza place – Eudici. Whenever possible, I order online.  That way there is no confusion about what I ordered.  No misheard (or miswritten) orders. I place my order (online) for a…

I was going to get the laundry done this weekend. I was going to get the laundry done on Saturday (instead of Sunday), just because I wanted it done and out of the way. First load was a single bath sheet.  It’s not easy to get towels to unstink, so I wash them separately.  A…

We have been living in Michigan just over a year, and these past couple months have been even more of an adventure because we are seeing all the shit that goes on with our yard that the previous owner kept cleaned up so we were totally unaware. Like these mounds of weird strings of seeds…

When we first moved back to Michigan, I got my dear husband hooked on Diet Vernors.  For those few uninitiated out there – Vernors is Michigan’s version of ginger ale.  It’s delicious and the diet version is almost indistinguishable from regular. Recently, I got a wild hair, and picked up some diet Faygo.  I wasn’t…

We have a pet bunny rabbit – almost. For some reason, one of the little fuzzy hoppers in our yard has become enamored with spending time on our front porch. How cute is that? (Warning, if you come to our house, don’t eat any brown jelly beans you find on our welcome mat.)

I am not terribly computer savvy.  I don’t stink at computers, but there is a shit-ton that I simply don’t know/understand. I am mostly okay with this, because 99% of what you need to know can be found on the internet. What you can’t find on the internet is how you, somehow, no longer have…

Much to my surprise, only recently, I learned that we had three chicks in our front-door-wreath nest.  Not two.  This makes me happy because I knew there had been three eggs.  I was afraid one egg either didn’t hatch or got tossed out of the nest. But no.  One was being very wily and keeping…
