Tonight There’s Gonna Be Jailbreak . . .

Monday morning, as I lay half asleep sorting out which day of the week it is, I hear Hubby say, “What the h-ll are you doing out of bed?” By process of elimination, I figure that he is talking to Senior Dog, who usually doesn’t stir without firm motivation.

Tell Me What You Really Think

Space-age sweat scrapers. Dunno how I feel about them. OTOH, I do know how I feel about free text.

Perseverating

We finally learned to shoe her at the late May blacksmith appointment. Otherwise, she would get sore overnight whenContinue reading “Perseverating”

My Summer

My LEGO club issues a challenge for each meeting, a word or phrase for which we each build a small vignette. The challenge for September was What I Did Over My Summer Vacation. Betcha never thought I could get this much mileage out of LEGO bricks & horses. (Procedural note: While I’m not a stellarContinue reading “My Summer”
