We're Almost Famous (Pet Division)

Oops, we did it again! The St Paul Pioneer Press Bulletin Board printed our picture on July 20th,2016.

                                                           "Our Pets, Ourselves"

"This little guy is tuckered after his Vet visit! He's a character; there's never a dull moment with Bear.
Grandma Jody"

                                                 HE WAS NOT AMUSED!

We're Almost Famous (Pet Division)

Today's edition of the St. Paul Pioneer Press Bulletin Board published my submission honoring our new kitten.

"The Vision Thing"

"Kitten or Steam Mop Pad? Our new kitty, Theodore Van der Wool, AKA Bear, looks remakably like our Shark Steam Mop pad!

Grandma Jody"

We are completely enamored of him and his unique well-loved-stuffed-animal-fur!

Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone

After some days of this:

And some days of that:

And way too many days of too much chocolate,
too many late nights,
too many phone calls trying to organize plans,
and having too many man-made hot flashes because Hannah someone turned the heat up to 75 degrees,
I'm left with only this:

and ain't no sunshine when she's gone........
