The missing piece . . .

Apparently, our new dog likes puzzles as much as we do. The newest dog treat!

Free at Last

Our new dog was banished to the house and yard. No walks! He kept getting away off his leash. So he finally got to go on a trail with a harness and a Martingale collar. Life is good again, for him and us!

Mum’s Cookbook

I have Mum’s old cookbook. It has seen many years. The cover is long gone, and some pages are tattered beyond use, but from these pages, she celebrated birthdays and weddings, she entered fair competitions, and archived the best recipes handed down to her from my grandma, great grandma, and others.

It may be tattered, but it a precious piece of my past.

Let It Grow

I feed the birds, and they are not really tidy eaters, so seeds fly hither and yon. If it were up to my husband–the lawn taker-carer–as those seeds started to sprout they would be pulled or weed whacked; but I convinced him to let them grow this time. And look what I got! Since this yard has no trees and only some container gardens I managed to get in, this blast of yellow that attracts birds, butterflies, and bees is a welcome addition. I am loving the color!

Some days . . .

Some days, I look at my dad’s picture, and I think of all the things I wish I had asked him when he was still here;

but back then, I guess I just didn’t know yet what I didn’t know.

Never a Nurse

First shower today! Oy. I had to remove and replace his bandage and once again I realize why I never wanted to be a nurse! The only shots I give are photographic.
Hope you are enjoying the lack of gross photos.

Surgery Stuff

On Facebook, folks post pictures of dog bites and stitches and all manner of gross stuff! I will never do that. So here is as close a pic of my hubby’s total shoulder replacement surgery as you will get. Enjoy!
