A year ago today I said goodbye to this old girl. Wasn’t the easiest gal to live with but she mellowed over the years (17) & I think we came to an understanding…Stay out of her way, let her decide on getting pets, treats, where to sit, fall asleep & we got along fine. Enjoying her last sunbeam.🌈☀️😢

Happy Monday! Crazy spring weather last evening! Ice storms to the north of me and my area hit by severe thunderstorms, straight line winds and a tornado warning 🌪️‼️ And then…the calm after the storm! Although the sunset was gorgeous, it’s a cold, gray and windy day ahead. Stay safe out there gang!

Happy Caturday! In honor of my old gal Claire, who crossed the rainbow bridge on Monday. This is on her last day, enjoying a sunbeam moment. For 17.5 yrs she was a lioness who did everything on her own terms. Not an easy girl to live with but I’m going to miss her all the same. Rest easy dear. 💔🌞🌈🪽

Good morning gang & happy Friday! Well, I missed watching the lunar eclipse last night but I did enjoy watching the moon set over the frozen lake this morning! Should be another warm day & the ice is getting ready to break up. Can’t wait to see the water again. Enjoy the day & stay safe out there!🌕

Happy Caturday from my old girl, Claire. The last week has been rough and she has rapidly gone downhill. Monday afternoon we’ll be saying our goodbyes but until then she’s getting lots of goodies to eat, gentle massages and plenty of love. Wishing you all a peaceful weekend and stay safe out there!

Good morning and happy Saturday! A new month, a fresh start, happy to leave February behind! What a stressful month, all thanks to the orange blob and with yesterday being the worst debacle of all! Hoping March is a lucky month for all of us, can’t be worse, can it? Good luck to us and stay safe!🍀🤞

Happy Caturday from my old gal Claire! Idk how many more Caturday’s I have left with her, she’s been in a steady decline for several months now. But as long as she continues to enjoy naps in front of a register, begs for treats and plays with her catnip toys, I’m good with that and so is she. 🩷🐾🩷

Happy snow day gang! Quite a bit fell overnight and it’s still coming down! Took my dog Phil out this morning and my neighbor had snowplowed a path for us (Phil’s getting fussy in his old age)! He’s the nicest guy and always looks out for us. I’ll bake some lemon bars to thank him. Stay safe today.❄️

Happy Caturday gang! My old gal Claire has the right idea! Wish I could join her but I’m off to see my granddaughter this morning before the snow hits. I’m in need of plenty of baby snuggles after this crazy, insane week of governmental affairs! Hoping everyone stays safe and sane out there! 🩷💕🩷

Some sad news this morning…our cancer warrior friend, jaylee2076@bsky.social has sadly passed away. A FB post from her church said Julie passed January 7. I’m going to miss her courage and optimism in fighting this awful disease and always loved her posts about her cat, Nurse Crybaby! RIP friend. 💔

Good morning gang! No lovely sunrise today but lots of soft, falling snow! Whirlwind evening last night-games, snacks, pizza and with 12 of us here, lots and lots of laughs. Just what my heart and spirit needed-the companionship of dear friends! Enjoy your Saturday and stay safe out there!!

Good morning gang! Cold but lovely day ahead! Away for a girl’s weekend at Burt Lake (there’ll be 12 of us!) most will arrive tonight. In the meantime, my 2 friends and I are off to Petoskey for breakfast, a bit of shopping and possibly a cocktail or two before the chaos begins! Stay safe out there.

Happy 🐪 hump 🐫 day gang! Saw my neighbor ice boating yesterday and brought back many good memories of my husband. He was an avid ice boater and made both of his. The racer is mahogany and resembles a Chris Craft-beautiful! He took both our girls out and taught them the sport-lots of wintertime fun!

Hope your day was wonderful! Mine was...long! Ho Ho! Time for a cocktail and some quiet reflection (hopefully the boys are going to bed soon)! 🥃❤️💚 These grands wear me out! Merry Christmas friends!!

Morning gang! All the gifts for my 3 grands! Now to pack them up and head for Newport KY this morning. Weather looks clear but the bridge I use to cross the Ohio is still closed. Going to have to trust the GPS-it’s a long haul and I hate driving. Wish me luck and stay safe out there! 🎄❤️💚

Just found out my favorite baseball player, Rocky Colavito died last Tuesday, age 91!!! My dad took me to my first baseball game just to see him in the outfield, #21, he was playing for Cleveland. It was also the 10,000th game played at Tiger Stadium!! That was in 1965...wow! A lifetime ago!

Happy first snow day of the school year! It doesn’t look like much but there’s ice under that snow and the gusts of wind is causing snow squalls. And even though I’m retired, I still have to check the school closings-a hard habit to break! Nothing like the thrill of a surprise day off from work!

Good morning Gang! Today is World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day! Phil is doing his part wearing a purple bandana to bring attention to this horrible disease. Please wear purple today, to remember all those who’ve been affected by it and those still fighting it. Hopefully one day, we’ll conquer it💜

Haven’t been on much today-busy prepping the bathroom to paint. But finally took a moment and saw this outside-gorgeous November moon. There’s still good things in this world, just have to notice them. Wishing everyone a peaceful night and the sweetest of dreams. 🌜☁️⭐️
