A Patch of Sun–Simple Pleasures
My husband took this picture of Sophie, and I just had to share it. Here I am, all a-flutter with last minute Christmas details and look at my girl–what an example to us all. Here she sits in our dingy garage, leaning up against a packing crate, enjoying a patch of sunshine. Just sitting. Feeling…

On My Own
My husband is away this weekend on a couple of job interviews, which means that I am on my own with the dogs. This is more of an ordeal that it sounds, due to the fact that the dogs do not get along, and have to be separated. My entire day seems to be spent…

A Little R & R
Here is my Sophie Girl, enjoying her own special version of R&R. She plays hard, and nobody can equal her when it comes to catching a few zzzz's. It's a good thing Welsh Terriers don't shed much. I should make this picture my new blog header. Not. I am going to take off for the…

Late in the Day
The picture is darkish, but doesn't the table took pretty with the late afternoon sun shining through those yellow glasses? It was a puttery sort of weekend, and tasks of many sorts were accomplished. I got my kitchen put back together after the cabinet refinishing. Who was it who recommended that I place the contents…

Still Cleaning
I ask you, how many pairs of jeans does one woman need? I've been spring cleaning my closets this week, and have decided that I have been hanging on to too many pairs of jeans. Face it, the size 8s probably are not going to fit me again in this lifetime. They only fit for…

Boo Hoo, Got Nothin’ To Do
Rain. And more rain. We are getting tired of it, Sophie and I. She doesn't get her walks on schedule, and is going out of her mind with boredom. Today I took her for a little ride in the car, just to get her out of the house, and she actually seemed to enjoy it. …

Dog Missing
Last night Sophie went missing. I won't say she was lost, because she knew precisely where she was. It had been pouring rain and hail all day long and she really needed to get out for a minute now that the rain had let up. My son was packing his truck for the trip back…

The Day After
Good morning. This is my sleepy self saying, "Hope you all had a safe and happy Thanksgiving". Mine was lovely, and I seem to be operating in low gear today. Probably the effects of too much turkey (and mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie). Seriously, it is a known fact that…

My Room Mate is a Big Pest
I am trying to get some sewing done here. I have my little Birdseye Star Block units all cut out and ready to sew together. I have time, I am organized and prepared, and there is nothing stopping me. Except for this little devil, who is bored and wants my attention. Who is going through…

Dog’s At Play
Now that my husband is working in the Big City, he takes Ozzie with him and stays all week at my father's house in Palo Alto. It is a complicated arrangement, but both my daughter Sara and her little dog Remy stay at my dad's during the week as well. Luckily Ozzie and Remy are…
