Grand Day Indeed.
Yesterday, was Grand(parents/friends) Day at my grans’ very posh private school, Dawson: https://www.dawsonschool.org/ Lisa is still recovering from her nasty bout of Shingles so my sisters, b&v, who personally oversee all things educational for their great-nieces and nephews (never understood why direct descending line is “grand” but lateral equal level of familial descent is “great”) […]
Looking For Beaver At Midnight
Yes, that is a cheeky headline. But its well known that cheekiness rolls with a full moon. And this bit of Beaver was outstanding, https://www.space.com/the-universe/moon/the-final-supermoon-of-2024-rises-nov-15-as-novembers-full-beaver-moon The night had lots of cool lunar visuals on Casa Claire. While Claire and Honey watched and wondered, I toured the grounds and snapped many different photos of this magnificent […]
What Can I Say
Since my earliest incarnations, I’ve always been a fan of the number 69. So many possibilities. As an Angel number, it represents balance, love and spiritual growth. https://www.ifshe.co.uk/blogs/articles/angel-number-69-meaning#:~:text=Angel%20number%2069%20represents%20balance,and%20harmony%20into%20one’s%20life It also means that your angels are in close proximity and that the worst times are in your rear view mirror. “The number 6 is linked to […]
Wild Fires Suck
The above photo is of Greenwood Lake, in Orange County New York. Close to the area my youngest, his wife, pups and in-laws call home. So far, they are all safe. This is the largest wild fire to hit NYS since 2008. The 5000 acres of fire are shared equally along the border between NY […]
Missing Mr. Rogers
I’ve written a few times about my first male mule, Mr. Rogers. Sweetest animal I’ve ever encountered. That opening photo was the “T” tattoo on his shoulder that he arrived with at Casa Claire, which morphed into the “J” tattoo in The Claire Saga. MR was the love of Claire’s life. They were inseparable. Claire […]
Veteran’s Day – 11/11
Today goes by many titles, but out of our well earned and collective respect for those that have (and continue to) serve(d) our country – thank you for your service – this is a day on which we remember and honor the the men and women who have sacrificed their youth, time, freedom, bodies, minds […]
High School Football
Nothing says America like High School football games. Turns out that our town, Berthoud, has a very good high school football program. While I was out running errands Friday afternoon, someone mentioned that the game was scheduled for 1 p.m. yesterday, and that the team is working towards a spot at the top five in […]
Well Done Robin Roberts
Yesterday was one of those cold, wet-snowy Fridays that was just perfect for reading. So yesterday, late afternoon, Smokey and I decided to finish Robin Roberts biography of Anne McCaffrey. Now I have done my very best to contrive many associations between myself and this mystical literary icon. And throughout this wonderful book, I have […]
TGIF
Okay, this has been a stress filled week, no matter who you supported or opposed in Tuesday’s election. The talking political news-heads will have plenty of fodder for their post mortem analysis of their own poor prognostication. Mostly because they couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the directions were written on the heel. […]
Why I Love Horoscopes & Rescues
I’ve read horoscopes since I could first read. I was an early reader. Sometimes they appear right on the mark, with too many referenced hits to be coincidental. Other times they are so far off I cannot feel any emotional connection at all. Sometimes they tell me it’s going to be smooth sailing and entice […]
