It is a lovely sunny and breezy day, especially welcome after the sweltering heat of last week. I have no air conditioning in this house and the numerous fans were just not doing the job! One of my grandsons contacted me on Friday to tell me his new apartment complex has central AC so heContinue reading “ON THIS 24TH OF JUNE”

“Well, hello there!” The vet technician’s greeting was cheerful, but loud. Sam quickly stood and moved in front of me, then barked once. It was a no nonsense bark – warning. He is protective of his mistress. The only time I speak loudly to my beasts is when I am not happy. In his mindContinue reading “THINGS HAPPENING”

We can safely call this house a senior’s residence. Human, beast and fowl – we are all up there in age, and I am steeling myself for what is coming; the inevitable. Mommy, my oldest beast, is already 11. She is deaf, starting cataracts, and has a bit of dementia. Her back end gives outContinue reading “WHERE WE ARE”

“You are not blogging anymore?” The question comes up regularly. Unfortunately the answer seems to be the same month after month. Life is getting in the way. So much going on, and with the speed I get things done nowadays, time to blog has been regulated to the back burner…the item lowest on the ”ToContinue reading “I’M BACK?”

It started to snow yesterday around 3 PM, and it looks like an accumulation of 8 inches or so already, and continues falling – those big, fluffy flakes giving us another splendid winter-wonderland view. Karen, although SHE has been doing the shoveling, remarked more than once how lovely the whole scene is out there. AnContinue reading “SNOW…and more snow”

So today will be the first day in over 2 weeks that I will venture out of the house…if I decide to go that is. I certainly don’t feel like it. Even if I had another good, long sleep last night and am in top shape, the need for company or visiting just isn’t onContinue reading “TO DRESS, OR NOT TO DRESS.”

I spent New Year`s Day alone with my beasts and the bird; in silence, no TV or radio. I did a few chores around the house (not many), did some reading (light fantasy), lots of sleeping, no social media, no telephone, no texting. The only time I did messaging was early evening when my daughterContinue reading “HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023”

I am supposed to be studying, but my course is on the same computer as Blogit so…oops! I got distracted reading and commenting, and now soon my Little Flea and her parents are to arrive for, and with, supper (Chinese take-out on the menu), then it needs to be an early bedtime because it’s backContinue reading “AND SUNDAY”

I have had the same email address for ages. Now the new internet fibre service, including television and home phone number, is being installed the beginning of November, so my change of contact information had to be transmitted. UGH! It took me over an hour this morning just completing this for the regular suppliers; getContinue reading “SATURDAY EARLY A.M.”

”Mémère, the doctor told me I could have as many children as I want!” These were the words proclaimed by my Little Flea as she arrived for her regular stay while her parents worked. She had just come from the annual appointment with the pediatrician; being a preemie, they keep a close watch on herContinue reading “MY FUTURE DETERMINED, JUST LIKE THAT!”
