Rich was giving me a hard time about not taking Sascha out scootering today. It was a nice cool day with low humidity. Perfect scooter weather. Sascha’s been going a little stir crazy since Rich had his cortisone shot. I didn’t feel up to walking her. So I felt guilty and took her for a [...]

Under attack
Saturday was a horrible allergy day for me. My eyes felt swollen and I can’t keep them open! I’m got absolutely no sympathy from anyone around here. Rich is nursing his arm. Rick was waiting to join his friends for a birthday celebration. Sascha just wants to be petted! Come on, someone says, “Sorry you [...]

Tough day for Rich
For the last month or so, Rich has been having pain in his right elbow. Not sure when it started exactly, but he assumed he hurt it bowling one night. That is his bowling arm. The pain has been pretty constant and not really letting up too much. I finally decided it was time to [...]

Tough day for Sascha
Sascha had a tough day today. It started out this morning when I put her out for the usual patrol around the yard. Sometime after going out, a storm passed by close enough for her to hear thunder. I heard her run being pulled and checked out the back door. She was pulling the lead [...]

Sascha can play in the yard again! The roof is done!
Yes, the roof is done! No more banging, dropping things, or saws going off. And it’s pretty! I worked at home for the last days while they were putting a new roof over our heads. The last roof might have been 18 years old. No one is sure. During the last windstorm, we lost a [...]

Good food and good friends
Rich loves to go to Weissgerber’s German restaurant in Waukesha, WI for his birthday meal. Something to do with ham hocks. That’s basically what schweinshaxe is. So we invited Dave, Chris, Tim, and Deb to go with us. Barb isn’t into German food so declined to join us. We did miss you guys, Barb and [...]

That roof over our heads
In recent weeks, we’ve had quite a bit of windy weather. Windy isn’t out of the norm for us here, but the type of wind is. It has been almost gale force at times. So much so that we’ve lost a few shingles and had some others that are literally flapping in the breeze. This [...]

Happy 50th Birthday, Rich!
Yesterday, the 10th, was Rich’s 50th birthday. It was a quiet day. No big partying here. He did take the day off from work to enjoy some of his favorite things. Early in the morning, his Busia called to wish him a happy birthday. He wasn’t up yet. We talked for a bit. She was [...]

Happy Easter!
Wow, it’s Easter already! This year is flying by. Glad I’m prepared for today though. As I said before, major (and some minor) holidays are Polish eating holidays. I love that. Rich’s family has a lot of traditions and I’ve incorporated them into how we celebrate things. I started off with brunch today. We had [...]

Preparing for Easter
Easter is just another Polish eating holiday. That’s a good thing though. I love the foods at Easter. Zurek soup (no kidding) is a fermented soup only had at this holiday. Me, I would have it all the time. I love the sour flavor with the hard boiled egg, sausage, and rye bread. Actually, that’s about [...]
