MY PRECIOUS, A PUSH FROM PAT_B
The view from my gallery yesterday afternoon - awesome! Pat_B’s post titled “Where to find inspiration” gave me the incentive to write what you’ll read here. It also helped me make a decision that has been rolling around...no...make that turning cartwheels...in my mind since this conversation took...

WHAT? NO NOISE?
This is pretty awesome! It’s just after 6 AM and here I am sitting at my desk writing instead of dishing out toast or strawberries or eggs or cereal. The doggies are still drowsing on their couches; no scolding of Smooch this morning for sneaking under the table, licking each of the Rug Rats’ knees...

LITTLE BOYS ARE MADE OF...
Bali, my ray of sunshine. What is it about 3:30 AM? It’s as if someone nudges me awake at that time every morning – been happening for over a week now. Morpheus and I need to have a talk! Doesn’t that fickle dude realize that by 9 AM, when I am supposed to start working, I only want to crawl back...

AIN'T ENOUGH ROCKS.
My boy and his dog. You have seen this picture before, but my post concerns them both. In the movie Forrest Gump, there is a scene where Jennie scrabbles in the dirt, picking up rocks to hurl blindly at the house where she was raised and abused. Suddenly she crumples into heart-wrenching sobs; the...

AND THEY DANCED ALL NIGHT...
For some time now, the silence of my office radio has been a source of intrigue for my oldest rug rat. His is a very persistent character; the equipment had to be used somehow! “There’s a dance party in here tonight, Mémère!” Nalou stated from the doorway. Then raising his voice to an announcer’s...

EVERYONE'S A CRITIC!
“I’ve been reading your Blog.” I looked up in surprise. First of all, where did she get the address for my Blog? And secondly, why would she read it? She’s merely an acquaintance, a friend of a friend, and we don’t particularly like each other. Fortunately our paths don’t cross often. Today I had...

EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...
Smooch - his hang-dog look. It was 4 AM when I heard him come to my bedroom. I knew it was the pup – he has a very distinctive walk; it sounds like he is shuffling along the floor in slippers. I lifted my head and, sure enough, he was standing in the entrance, watching expectantly. It crossed my...

STILL KICKING!
Don't be fooled - this timeout only lasted 5 minutes Wow! It’s hard to believe that August 27 th was my last post. It seems I turn around twice and the day has gone by, then another...then another. Somebody is sneaking in here and stealing my time....or maybe the ‘twice’ is only an illusion, when...

GOOD OLD GOLDEN RULE DAYS...
All of a sudden I am thrown back in time. The hustle and bustle of ‘return to school’ preparations were part of my life so many years ago; then my children graduated, were into the work force, and the first days of September of each year only meant long, meandering walks to admire the changing...

THE UNWELCOME VISIT...
Each day will bring you a new experience; some of them normal, some totally unexpected. My yesterday fell into the latter category. I hadn’t been up long when the dogs’ wild barking warned me there was a stranger in the yard. Still in pyjamas, hair uncombed, and slightly groggy from the cold...
