Soundtrack time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C70QRbawN8 I know the whole world knows this by now but I might as well join the chorus of those saying goodbye to Leonard Nimoy.

Help Marianne’s Place Recover From A Flood
Wow, this is sad. Remember the women’s shelter I wrote about many moons ago? Well, thanks to a horribly-plugged toilet, they had a disastrous flood. So many of those every day food items and supplies that make the world continue to revolve in that place are destroyed. Walls, floors and ceilings need repair. And they …

I’m An Aunt!
I don’t know why I didn’t write about this last week when it happened, but better late than never. Last Friday, Friday the 13th, I became an aunt. Yup, my brother and his wife are now the proud parents of an adorable little boy. I don’t have his picture, although it’s up on Facebook, I …
From Dream Home To Nightmare
Steve said he got this from Michelle, but it looked like one I’d want to post. After getting rid of all the shivers, I agreed. This Kathy Rowe woman is like the worst combination of Philip Conran and Jennifer Petkov. It all started when a young couple outbid her on a home she really really …

Great Gobs Of Tansy Updates, Part II
I still have a mountain of Tansy-related ideas. Let’s keep truckin’. In another post, I said I wanted to train Tansy to come to a whistle. Well, a week later, I got to see how I was doing. And wow, it was powerful. I would blow that whistle, and Tansy would move heaven and earth …
Great Gobs of Tansy Updates, Part I
I’m terribly behind on Tansy updates. It’s bad. How can I go for 6 months without writing a Tansy post? Oh, well, I did have the captain chasing me around for 4 of those months. Well, I guess it’s time to catch up now. This might take a couple of posts. Tansy has inherited some …
Goodbye Lynne.
Well, it looks like it’s time for me to write one of these. Back when I had the whole gallbladder saga, I spent 8 days in the hospital. a lot of people shared my room, but a lot of them were just coming out of surgery or just about to leave, so I didn’t really …
