Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
As many of you know, Maddie (our Irish Setter) and I have a routine. It’s Maddie’s routine – the OCDog – I’m just at the other end of the leash. The activities remain the same, but the timing is in flux. As the longer days of summer have arrived, our morning walk is beginning earlier.... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday and the back door of the bar is unlocked, but there’s no one here to greet us. That’s not a good sign. We are hoping to catch up on our activity for the week while enjoying an adult beverage and testing our wits with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your... Continue Reading →
Spring is firmly established here in Connecticut. Most blooming things are beyond their peak. Late blooming things are near their peak. We’ve had days above 70°f (21°c) and the days are nice and long. On the other hand, within the past 10 days, we had snow and hail. We have also had some very cold... Continue Reading →
On Sunday, when I was walking Maddie, she did what dogs sometimes do while walking. Not the most delightful moment, and one we try to avoid by getting her to do that particular business in the yard before we leave. In accordance with my upbringing, a sense of civic duty and local regulations, I made... Continue Reading →
I want to keep this short. Since this Friday is the WATWB and I reblogged a reminder about it yesterday, I’m going to invade your inbox six days in a row. Unless, I combine a bar conversation, Linda’s SoCS prompt and the WATWB in one post – I did that once. Anyway. Today is One-Liner... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, week four of confinement in the virtual section of the No Facilities bar (yeah, it’s all virtual) where Cheryl still has access to adult beverages and food and David and I try to include Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt in our conversation. Today, Linda instructs us thusly, “Your Friday prompt... Continue Reading →
I decided to get closer to the “one line” portion of Linda’s challenge. Of course, it won’t be one line, because – everybody say it with me – it doesn’t make any sense without the backstory. Thurty-seven years ago, The Editor and I had begun raising our first Irish Setter, Mitzi. I had grown up... Continue Reading →
As in we’re not going stir crazy at the No Facilities Bar. We’re trying to keep our good humor about us as we work around Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. This week, we have: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘deep.’ Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!”... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago, I published a post about Random Thoughts, one of the attributes mentioned on the tag line. Life Lessons is also mentioned in that tag line. Well, the past few weeks have given us all the opportunity to learn more about ourselves. Many people have written about these lessons, about what they’ve... Continue Reading →
