Here’s one for the Gen Xers out there. Yes, many of us are now wearing bifocals. And there are plenty more folks who should, but are resisting for one reason or another. Regardless of your current age or eyewear situation, today is a great day to look up when your last eye exam was, and get one scheduled if it’s… Read more »
Last summer when Lilly first showed up on our doorstep a lot of people commented that Hershey sent her (For the newcomers, Hershey was my husband’s cat who passed on last winter at the age of 18 1/2 and the poster child for this post). Originally I laughed that off. Even if I did believe that a dearly departed cat… Read more »
Today is old Farmer’s day! There are a ton of reasons to thank farmers both young and old. But today we celebrate the older generation. I come from a long line of farmers. When I was a kid both my grandfathers were still farming along with a couple of my dad’s uncles. Now my dad and his brother are the… Read more »
This past week was a rough one for me, even though it saw a plan come to a completely successful completion. This past week all 3 of our surprise kittens went to wonderful forever homes. To say I got emotional would be an understatement. I knew it would be better for all involved parties if I was not at home… Read more »
Today is National Underwear Day! The organizers of this day suggest that to celebrate you should go about your daily routine in nothing but your clean underwear (yes, the “clean” part is specifically mentioned). If you are currently working from home I suppose this is pretty doable. However, those of us who are working around other humans, maybe just wear… Read more »
Just a couple weeks ago I introduced you to our newest cat, Lilly. We were 90% sure she was pregnant by then. I held off on saying anything about it because she was going to the vet on July 26th for a prenatal check and I wanted to make sure everything was OK before “going public”. Well. 2 things happened last… Read more »
I’ve probably written about this one before, but I don’t care. Today is French Fry Day! A day to celebrate that most lovely of potato creations! Whether you prefer yours with just salt, of if you like to dip yours in a chocolate shake, ketchup, ranch, or anything else, today is the day to enjoy a helping of your favorites!
Within the span of a few months my two black beauties had to deal with 2 major changes. #1 was losing Hershey in December, and #2 was my actually leaving the house for most of the day 5 days a week when I went back to working in the office in March. I’ve had quite a few people ask me… Read more »
On 04.05.06 Pat and I got married in the local county courthouse. It was a Wednesday afternoon. It was very windy out, but the sun was shining and it was a warm day (didn’t record the exact temp). And now, in the blink of an eye, 15 years have passed! I’m on my 3rd car, my 3rd hairstyle, and Lord… Read more »
Granted, most of the polls on Facebook are garbage, but one recently caught my eye. The question was “Do you let you pets on the furniture?”. I know this was mostly aimed at dog owners, but the troubling thing for me was that more than zero people said “no”. What exactly is the point of having a pet if you… Read more »
