The Saga Of A Rescue Duck Named James Pond! LOL

My daughter was approved to adopt Arnold, A.K.A. Louie! She gets to meet him on Friday. The rescue center asked if she would be willing to take James Pond, (lol, this just makes me chuckle) since Arnold has bonded with him. I suspect the duck house will have to feature 007, hahahahahaha 😆! Her... Sign in to see full entry.

Great Weather In The Treasure Valley!

We have a chance to break a weather record tomorrow. The forecast is 80 degrees. The record temp was set in 2007 at 74 degrees. It's too early for 80 degree temps but luckily it won't last. We have many days of 100 plus temps in the summer. It's much easier to ease gradually into the hot, hot, hot... Sign in to see full entry.

UPDATE ON PETE!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is such a difficult post to make. Pete made it through the surgery but as the vet was sewing up the area where part of his wing was removed his heart stopped. They were unable to revive him. When Jessica called she was...

Big Day For Pete Tomorrow!

Pete has his surgery tomorrow. They take him at 8:00 a.m. MST. My daughter is very apprehensive. I can't blame her for worrying after all he's been with her for nearly 8 years. I truly believe he will be fine because he is healthy. He's always been fed top of the line food for ducks. He gets meal... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Came Across Some Great Meditative Music.

Some days I get into reels for entertainment. Today I was looking for recipes that don't take flour or sugar. I tried a 3 ingredient cake recipe. It's very tasty. 1 ripe banana mashed, 1 egg and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder. Mix the ingredients until smooth. Place in small baking dish (I wanted... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Busy Evening Watching Sports!

My Tigers won today. I had to listen to the Boston radio announcers. They were entertaining but I prefer Tiger TV and radio announcers. My Red Wings gave the game away in the 3rd period by allowing 3 goals to score and subsequently losing by 1. My Pistons clobbered the Brooklyn Nets by a score of... Sign in to see full entry.

Perfectly Lazy Sunday!

I had great plans for myself today but the newest puzzle owned me. I have to admit it was great fun putting it together! I have two more that I plan to do before the weather is full blown Spring! It's crazy but my lawn needs to be mowed already. My son-in-law does it for me. He jokingly said he... Sign in to see full entry.

Busy Sports Day And Started A New Puzzle!

I was watching my BSU Broncos game when my granddaughter sent me text showing that she got 6 retired Detroit Lions autographs. They were in her community playing against the first responders for a fund raiser. Her dad played in the game. After the game was over he sent a picture of his family with...
