I rushed Lola to the animal emergency room a couple of nights ago, not sure what was wrong with her, but just certain that something was amiss. It was in her eyes. Just that look, not much different than the one your kid gives you when she has a high fever.
Turns out she had a [...]

I hate surprises. Don’t tell me that you have a surprise for me. And that I have to wait for it. Or anything remotely similar. Because I can’t wait. And I will tear up the house looking for whatever this surprise might be.
Well, as it turns out, I don’t like to give surprises, either. Because [...]

As we prepare the house for the long winter ahead, I have cozy on my mind.
A few of my favorite cold weather items, to keep me (and my kids) toasty warm in our home…
Flor tiles at our back doors. It’s the entrance for our dogs from the wet backyard, and I can’t figure out how [...]

I used to live for the mail. I couldn’t wait to get to the mailbox and see what was in there. Bills? Magazines? An actual hand-written note? But I’m over it now. In fact, days might go by before I actually get to the mailbox. And I’ve let many of my magazine subscriptions lapse, like [...]

And do you know what?
I just purchased a brand new one!
And Atticus? Well, he already has one.
So… Can you guess why [...]

Cowboys ride horses and say things like “yee-haw!” But… it’s not like we walk around yelling out “yee-haw!” We’re just not those kind of people. Even if we did live in [...]

I love horses. Like really, really love horses. Since I can remember… There’s a picture of me at about 9 months old perched atop a large grey horse at a farm in upstate New York, my proud mother holding onto me, and that picture has been ingrained in my mind for all [...]
