Life is too short to not be myself…
Well, it's been crazy! We've had the dogs and darling son and his lovely wife came to get them and stayed a few days. I loved having them here! We had a nice visit and enjoyed the 4th of July together. Now the house is quiet again. I'm working this week to get ahead a... Continue Reading →
I know... I just shared my Wonderful Wednesday post... I should be feeling good! I should be feeling blessed! Instead, I'm sitting here feeling... down, a little sad even.

Yep, you read that right! My nest isn't nearly as empty this morning and I'm the only human here. But I've got my granddogs with me and we are having a grand time! Okay, maybe not grand... but I think they like me and that's grand! Our sweet little Chief passed away almost a year... Continue Reading →
We got up early the next morning and headed back to the airport for home. Vermont was beautiful. I wish we had had more time to explore but we had a wonderful time. Our flights home were easy. We spent the first flight just talking... like for real! The whole way we just talked and... Continue Reading →
