Animals vs. Humans: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about when does an animal actually look old this week.

Chester never got to be old enough to … Continue reading Animals vs. Humans: TOLT

Out of the frying pan …: 9/5-11 Weekly Wrap
I made my escape from my parents last weekend, went back early Monday with the intention of leaving Wednesday morning after taking my mom to her doctor's appointment on Tuesday -- an aid came to work on Tuesday and although she's an aid for the house and not a nurse, and doesn't drive as we were … Continue reading Out of the frying pan …: 9/5-11 Weekly Wrap
It’s been a hard, hard summer: Spilling over high tea September 2016
"Do you ever feel like all you do is take care of everyone else and when the heck is someone going to take care of you?" Man, that's what I wrote for July's Coffee Date -- little did I know how much worse it was going to get!

Last week's TOLT was a hint I talked about adopting an older dog last week -- would you do it? Why wouldn't you?
