Addendum to Milestone Entry
I came up with a little animation of Rick moving the tassel on his mortar board. I had to wait for Rick to complete the animation. I finally got today. This is cute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KXt5WDz0j0&feature=channel&list=UL

Another Milestone Complete
Last night, Rick graduated from high school. There were times when we wondered if this day would come. But for all the struggles with homework, Rick has been a fair student. He loves to go to school, so getting him up and out of the house was no problem. Just doing the homework was quite […]

Just another day in the life of me
This was a pretty good week for me. The other day, I was standing in my closet trying to figure out what I felt like wearing. I usually dress based on my feelings. I guess I’m lucky that my job doesn’t require me to dress for business. I thought about my friend, Ramya, and decided […]

Scottish Prom
Tonight was Rick’s senior prom. He had asked his girlfriend, Jordyn, to go with him and she said yes. Next step was confirming that she was okay with him wearing his kilt. Turns out, she is part Scottish and loved the idea of the kilt. So I let her borrow my sash and broach to […]

Little boys in the garden
I was so proud of Sascha today. Pete, the roof guy, stopped by for his check today. Sascha didn’t jump up on him at all. That’s a first for her. Then she sat patiently at Rich’s feet while they were transacting business. She was calm, cool, and collected. Way to go, Sascha. There is hope […]

Scootering with Sascha today
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 […]
