bummer
I love Halloween. My favorite part, lately, has been giving out candy to the kids in my neighborhood. We joke that we give out the good candy to keep the kids from tagging our big white garage. It seems to work. The garage has not had any graffiti appear on it nor has any of our property been molested. It is also nice to help generate more of ( Read more... ) -
Last weekend - Part 2 or Essa's wedding
At the rehearsal dinner Friday night, we were informed by Essa, the bride, that since we are family, we are to sit near the isle in the second pew right behind her brother, who gave her away, her mom and grandmother (Michael's and Essa's mom Denise's mom). Wait, we were planning on sitting in the back behind plants or something. No, you will sit ( Read more... ) -
Last weekend - Part 1
We left later than intended Thursday night. Big surprise. Turns out Smokey, the cat, meows constantly while in a car.
We made really great time from here to Duluth and were able to spend some time with Michael's Aunt Beverly in the hospital there. She is recovering from Colon Cancer surgery. She had a tumor the size of a grapefruit, but she ( Read more... ) -
On Death Part 1
Recently a good friend of a large number of my friends and acquaintances died. ( http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/008033.html#144076 ) This has made me reflect a bit, as death always does.
I have been reading posts and such about this fine gentleman and wondering how it was that we traveled in the same circle for a decade and I don ( Read more... ) -
Flash versus Princess Lily
We took Flash with us on an overnight sitting with Ali and David. Recently they have aquired a Golden Doodle puppy that they have named Princess Lily. Ali wanted Lily, David wanted Princess, ergo the name. She is a cutie and obviously a very smart little girl. But, they have not been able to curb the biting yet so she gets very irritating ( Read more... ) -

lifestyle changes progress report
I have now lost enough weight that my rings have moved up a finger or are no longer tight enough to leave marks. I can wear both my wedding and engagement rings at the same time. The engagement ring is even a bit too big. It tries to spin. My watch goes in the next smaller hole. My pants are hitting the tops of my feet again because the thunder ( Read more... ) -
Smokey the little grey kitty
Smokey is going home 10/12/06.
Michael's mom never wanted to give the little grey sweetheart/witch up. Circumstances dictated that she had to though. A home in Int'l Falls was found for her, but that didn't work out. So, we took her in. We never really wanted two cats. Ace had just died and we had just adopted K.W.A.N., but we knew Smokey and ( Read more... ) -
A pretty good week...
Let's see what has been happening...
Last Friday evening we went to a lovely pizza, beer and conversation party at the Emery homestead. Her folks were in town and Mrs E wanted to give them a chance to better get to know some of her friends. I had a great time. It was nice to be able to chat with folks that I don't normally get that much time around ( Read more... )
