Sascha 1 and Squirrels 0
That’s the line that Rick gave on his Facebook page about Sascha’s latest adventure. Everyone is aware of her preoccupation with squirrels by now. We were told that if we didn’t give her a job around the house that she would find one for herself. And she did. She patrols for squirrels and other small furry […]

Aww! End of summer already?

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 […]

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 […]
