My New Work Station & Cat Perch

I am excited about my new little corner of the cyber world. This is one of those cabinets you can pull the desk parts out or fold everything up and shut the doors. I love it and we have it in our small TV room where I can check emails and do research while Lynn [...]

"No, Lady, You Can’t Go Every Time"

Little Lady Bichon has suddenly decided she wants… and deserves … to go bye bye every time I do. It has been this way ever since we took her camping last week. She loved it … smiled the entire time. The problem is the heat here in Southern Utah makes it impossible to take her [...]

A Few Photos at Zion’s

This is “The Great White Throne” … my favorite named mountain in Zion’s National Park. I think it’s my favorite because we had a big framed photo of it on our wall when I was growing up. Looking at it seems comforting and familiar. This is taken from the trail on the “Angel’s Landing” hike, [...]

Zion’s

We’re summerizing the camper (Eco 14 foot) and getting it ready for our maiden voyage of the year … all the way to Zion’s National Park, which thankfully is only about an hour’s drive east of our house. Wow … I found this awesome map that shows you how lucky we are to live in [...]

Grooming My Bichon

I finally made a profit on my doggy hair cutting business. I’ve cut enough “do’s” to pay for the expensive equipment I bought last September. You can’t just run to K-Mart and buy dog clippers on sale … and when you fork over the $200 for the clippers then you have to buy the blades [...]

Monkeying Around With My Movie Star Girlfriend …

Alice asked me to post this picture of me with my actress friend. She was unashamedly name dropping one day on her blog and I told her that in 2003 I met a movie star at a rest stop along Interstate 15 and we’d really hit it off. This little lady has her own children’s [...]

This Story Stinks

It was hard to tell this story without being gross and graphic … I even had a hard time coming up with an appropriate title.    Here’s why. When the boys were in their late teens we had a Sharpei  dog named  Wigga.   One summer they decided to build him a super duper underground dog house [...]

Two Friends

Ande is four months now and knows her position in our household … She is the boss.   Fortunately, she is a sweet, patient little baby and we all love to cater to her and she never lacks for attention.    She is all smiles and giggles lately and pretty much loves her life just as it [...]

On My Way To Washington

What a relief!     Little baby grandson has arrived!    His mother has been in hard labor since way early this morning … I think it amounted to 14 hours.     Throughout the day they were almost to C-Section but she really wanted him natural and finally he is here safe and sound.    He was big … nine-ish [...]
