Briefly

I have an early morning physical therapy appointment and, due to yesterday's holiday activities, did not get a blog post for today written in advance.

Then Craig and I are heading to Indy - we volunteer down there twice a month. I'm also speaking at a conference this Saturday and have some prep I need to do. (I know the topic but I still need to prepare what I will be saying to the audience.)

So, I am not going to have time to write for the blog later today. In the meantime, here is a sneak peek at one of our activities this Memorial Day weekend.

To flip or draw zero after zero like I did during a game of SkyJo was surprising. 

And, it helped me to win!

More tomorrow so stay 'tooned!

Busy Day

Gone riding!

 Busy day today but I will be back tomorrow. Stay 'tooned!

Gone Riding

Had to take a neighbor to Urgent Care early this morning, Easter company has arrived, and Molly has some tests at the clinic today.

I'll be back tomorrow!

Super busy day today but I'll back tomorrow.

 In the meantime, enjoy this photo that I took early this morning while out with the dogs. That is Jupiter (left) and Venus (right). Such a beautiful sight!

Happy Labor Day!

I'll be back tomorrow!

It's Been a Couple of Days!

First Post of the Day

Sorry to be incommunicado yesterday but's been a weekend! And it isn't over yet.

Hawkeye Sarah and her family are heading home this morning and I will write more after they leave. While we have had fun together, we have also had one trip to Urgent Care (nothing scary) and another to Purdue's Emergency Vet Hospital. (A husky in the dog park bit both Blue and Todd which very much so was.)

Fortunately, everyone is fine.  Stay 'tooned!

 I have been quite sick (not Covid, hooray!) and have been since Saturday night. Hope to be back tomorrow. Will sort out the Give Away then. Thanks for the texts etc. to check on me. Much appreciated!

Recovering

Folks, I'm exhausted and just haven't got a blog post in me (despite having plenty to write about.) I'll do a Feast wrap up or two and then it will be time to begin preparing for (and writing about) the Great Lakes Congress show coming up in two weeks.

Please be patient with me as I recover from a hectic weekend because today I've gone riding!

Gone Riding - in a Manner of Speaking

We are dog sitting Teacher Daughter Lisa's dogs this weekend while she is out of town and I love having them here. They're well behaved, sweet, and good company. It does complicate our schedule, though, when it comes to Molly.

Molly is a rescue from a puppy mill where she was a breeder. She came out of there traumatized and very, very shy. Rarely does she let anyone else besides Lisa, Craig, and me touch her. And when she is staying at our home, she likes one of us to always be in sight - it makes her feel safe. 

Couple that with the fact that she's arthritic and stairs are hard for her, and that means I need to write downstairs on my ancient laptop instead of upstairs on my desktop. 

That's not usually a problem, but this morning my laptop is not working. It's 5:30 AM and Craig (who is a night owl) is asleep and can't spell me so I can go upstairs to write. 

So, I've sort of Gone Riding. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow; if not, then Monday. And now I'd better head back downstairs to check Molly.

Stay 'tooned!

 Pepper was ill during the night and I was up with her much of the time.  She's finally settled so I am going to go snooze. Sorry, no post today but I'll be back tomorrow.

Stay 'tooned!

BRB

I got back late last night from a visit to Michigan and have lots to share. More on that tomorrow!

I'm a little under the weather today and will be back tomorrow. Stay 'tooned!
