To Keep You Amused

A nice moment from an otherwise vile car ride: Must. Work. On. Paying assignment. Will return to unpaid pontification after.

One of our cats is recovering from an ear infection. (Yes, it’s going around. No, cat drops don’t hurt humans. I digress.) He is better but still wobbly, too wobbly to jump to the top of the fridge where the free-choice dry cat food lives.

Acts of Faith

I keep my horses atContinue reading “Acts of Faith”

Do You see What I See?

Another question for you. I have not monetized this blog. I have never seen advertisements using my desktop nor my laptop, logged in or not. However. While I was out of town horse shopping (more on this shortly), I borrowed a smart phone since I can’t go one day without obsessively checking for responses. AtContinue reading “Do You see What I See?”
