I Am Thankful for More Laughter Than I Deserve

January 30, 2010

I really wish I could share the laughter with everyone. But, sometimes it is just in the moment — like life. Anyway, little Ollie is having a terrible time with the weather. And, I have laughed so hard at him that I have done little else. I wish I could catch a picture to share, [...]

I Am Thankful for Snow!

January 29, 2010

Okay! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Even the older folks got excited today. It snowed. Now, it didn’t snow a lot according to some. But, it snowed enough. Even the roads are covered and that seldom happens around here. For once it is real snow, not ice.

I Am Thankful for Oliver’s Patience

Well, let’s just say that orange things that dress up in fur like a C-A-T don’t have a lot of patience — usually. But, today I am thankful for Oliver’s patience with me and for the smile he brought to my face late, late last night.
Ollie and I have been on very different schedules lately. [...]
