I have been away for about a month. It’s hard to write when you feel like your brain is in overdrive. A couple of quick updates. Lily, Lucy and Tuna are living and playing well together. Tuna has claimed her spots in the house. Lays in the window to take in the sunshine and playsContinue reading “What have you been doing?”

I had someone say to me a couple of weeks ago to take a deep breath, it will all work out the way it supposed to. Problem is I’m a control freak, fully admit it, fully embrace it. So when I have no idea how something is going to work out, I start planning, IContinue reading “Deep Breaths”

It has been a week that has figuratively knocked the wind out of me three different times. Twice last week, I realized that I skipped lunch. If you know my dogs at all you know that is amazing in itself that they let me forget that they had not received any human food in atContinue reading “It’s Been a Week”

I went on adventure yesterday. This adventure actually started a couple of weeks back, when I was putting up my tree and could not find the angel for my tree. Fast forward to last weekend and I went through all my Christmas stuff and realize that my “big box” of Christmas was no longer here.Continue reading “Adventures”
