It’s not company alleviating misery, it is enervating and demoralizing. For the sake of my own mental wellbeing, I am blocking accounts who have nothing to offer but their misery and a bad mood.

We wish you a merry pencil,
A doll, and another pencil,
A home ‘owner’s’ lifetime rental,
And a Maga New Year! 🍾

Covfefe, coFIFA, what the hell,
How about playing to his conceit…
Tell him he just won the Nobel,
Then maybe we can all have some peace.

He only listened, he never judged…
He learned very well from his dogs because
He was unconditional with his love.

Some Christmas traditions I’ll always remember,
But this one will last well beyond December.

Oof. Our daytime temps aren’t quite that low, but it won’t get above freezing for the foreseeable future. Too cold for this early in the season.

As quietly as the drop of a pin,
I opened the door and December walked in.

And told us that we could find him there,
My smitten self had to make sure he knew
That I would follow him anywhere!

You know the day is a bummer
When you realize it’s no longer summer.
Happy last day of November.

Thanksgiving, 2022.
Maggie wanted turkey, of course;
Rooney was getting impatient…
Remembering loved ones whom we have lost
No longer gracing our tables.
So deeply missed.

100 Days of Gratitude.
When autumn comes nice and slow and stays for a while before the snow.

For second chances,
Second glances,
Remembered friends
And other romances.
For November.

There are little bits of magic in our lives. But we only notice them when our eyes and our hearts are open.

If I don’t see beauty in the mundane;
In creations ordinary and small,
Then how can I ever make the claim
That I have seen any beauty at all?

In honor of Leland Hermit’s dad jokes, bad puns, and enjoyment of occasional nonsense,
I must ask…if you saw that Santa’s fastest reindeer had lost quite a bit of hair since last Christmas, would you call him Balderdasher?

I’m so glad I knew you, and still feel your spirit,
But I’d never wish you back, Leland Hermit…
There’s so much, so much, too much to deal with,
And a peaceful rest…God knows you’ve earned it.
Missing my friend,

Nope. He told the story of Angelo’s disappearance many, many times. In fact, it was after Angelo’s safe return that he and Leland collaborated on their first book. 😊💙

One time he disappeared, and I thought my life was over. Forty days and forty nights he was gone. Came home with one ear half chewed off, but he came home. Miracle dog. Angus is my miracle dog.
