  • Running Wild in the Woods

    Today was a special treat for Sascha.  Rich decided to take her over to Moraine State Park, which is right next to the subdivision and let her pull the scooter.  The trails are pretty nice, but there are a lot of hills.  Rick decided to ride his bike with them.  Following behind would keep him […]

  • Flying like the wind

    Over the last few days, my left hand has been feeling better and I felt like my grip was much stronger.  I also felt like I might be up to trying to take my dog out scootering myself.  So I worked up my courage and told Rich I was ready for this on Saturday. But […]

  • Poor Sascha!

    As I’ve mentioned, Sascha is a pretty smart dog.  I think it’s the border collie in her.  Rick says Siberian collie.  Anyway, she has figured out how her day is going based on subtle clues around her.  In the morning, she takes note of how I dress to know how her day will go.  If […]

  • Happy Valentine’s Day

    My sister-in-law, Rose, in San Antonio was complaining about being charged extra postage to send small cards in the mail.  I wondered at the time why they were so small and who would she be sending them to.  Now I know. Yesterday, we received this very small card from San Antonio, TX.  I liked the sticker […]

  • One of my favorite parts of vacation: Planning!

    So maybe I am enjoying sharing my little world through words.  I thought of something else to say. Our family vacation this year is to California.  This is Rick’s pick of vacations, in honor of his high school graduation.  Maybe this is his last family vacation.  If he goes after this, he’ll need to chip […]

  • Bad Hair Day at the Office

    Now as I get older, my hair texture keeps changing.  My hair was somewhat wavy when I was younger, but it got really straight as a teenager.  Now that I’m getting past “that age,” my hair is getting wavy again.  On humid days, it’s downright curly.  It has gotten to the point where I let […]

  • Driving down the road looking cool

    Usually, I try not to work in the office on Fridays.  Fridays are usually a light day with few people in the office.  It’s a day made for remote access.  Not today.  There was a meeting that I felt I needed to put in face time on and all of my minions are out.  OK, I’ll saddle […]

  • Can you say “Outside Dog” today?

    Wow, two days in a row.  I usually have a hard time coming up with something.  Thursday is my second day of the week to work at home.  Tuesdays and Thursdays are the only days I actually get any work done.  I always seem like I’m away from desk or being asked to do something when […]

  • A New Skill: “I’ve been doing it wrong all this time!?!”

    One of my three loyal readers cornered me about writing my next entry.  I said that I hadn’t done anything exciting lately.  Even Sascha has been doing the same things.  Granted, they are cute things, but definitely not anything to write about. Rich came up with an article and link from TED Ideas Worth Spreading.  […]

  • Memphis Road Trip: Addendum

    Maybe Rich was right, I left out a lot of details.  Wait, don’t tell him I said anything about being right on anything! Vacation was so great, we’re still talking about it.  I left out a really cool detail though.  I just went back to be sure I hadn’t talked about it.  At Ground Zero, […]
