Congrats Grayson Tatum Sacca and Your Folks!
Now yesterday was an interesting day. It started out very foggy. It took me a moment to find the mules. But yesterday quickly turned auspicious, when my nephew, Tyler, and his significant other, the lovely and sweet Elizabeth Monaghan, gave birth to their beautiful baby boy, Grayson Tatum Sacca. Tyler is the only son of […]
Dusk Is When You Start To Worry
Yesterday evening Lisa and I grabbed some blankets and sat out on the back deck, just as the sun was dropping over the western foothills. There were some large cloud formations overhead but there were signs that the night itself would be clear. I had given Claire and Honey their last meal of the day […]
Helen LaLousis – Simply Sacred Life
I first met Helen LaLousis (yes the one from The Claire Saga) early this century, while performing some legal work for her. She was client of the firm I then worked for, but since I was the one doing the work, we were in constant contact, so we struck up a friendship. Decades later, she […]
Lucky Day Ladybug
Yesterday was a beautiful Indian Summer day in NoCo, especially at Casa Claire. Clair and Honey spent a lot of the day in siesta mode out back. The bees and wasps bellied up to water fountain for convivial sustenance after devouring two two-plate services worth of honey out in the Jax The Spruce Grotto. Although […]
Green Acres, Local Authors & Lucid Dreams
Yesterday was busy around Casa Claire. Hay to be bagged and hung, shit to be scooped and transported by wheelbarrow out to Hadrian’s Wall, and stalls to cleaned and new wood chips added. Then the were the troughs to to be topped off. Of course, I first had to do a week’s work of fruit […]
Floriography – Belated Happy Birthday B Frank – RIP Dan Ghent
Yesterday was my dear SIL Barbara “b” Frank’s birthday, so Lisa made sure that we sent a beautiful array of flowers to commemorate this auspicious occasion. B acknowledged the receipt yesterday by sending her thanks and the above photo of the arrangement. B was pleased. Lisa did good. On the other end of the emotional […]
Proud Fordham Alumnus – RIP Pat Francis
I have never gone to an official alumnae gathering of any of the schools I have attended, even for those few I have graduated from. All of them wonderful schools. It’s me. To loosely quote Groucho Marx, I would never want to belong to any club that would have me as a member. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/04/18/groucho-resigns/ I […]
Honey & Claire
I’ve written about extensively about Claire, the center of the universe at Casa Claire, and her magical mate, Mr. Rogers. But I do want to mention that without the appearance of my mini-mule, Honey, on the scene, I’m not sure Claire would have survived post Mr. Rogers. Yesterday’s early morning photo of Honey looked almost […]
Mr. Rogers & Claire
There is a scene at the end of TWA where Claire is reunited with her lost love, Mr. Rogers. They then spend blissful moments together on Casa Claire into AAA. As you know by now, there is very little fiction in my stories. Claire and Mr. Rogers first engaged just the way I described it […]
12:12 a.m. – Welcome To The Twilight Zone – Let’s Do The Time Warp Again.
I was extremely tired last night. Actually went to bed at 7 p.m. my time. As always, I carried Jeter up with me. Blue and Lisa followed a few minutes later. I didn’t even feel them get into bed. I woke on my own as I always do, after what felt like my normal night […]
