Winter is certainly letting us know he isn’t leaving early around here! He is here for the long haul. It is cold dark and wet. Katie is totally bummed! It is miserable outside and no one will play ball with her. I have chores to do and John is clearing up a credit card tangle. They some how didn’t credit our account but…

Another wet day here. I got a late start for this day. I had a horrible night. I take a mini-dose of statins. They are a misery. They cause painful muscle cramps especially in my hands. But I am up and on the job as we say. But I am behind already and for a Saturday, one of my favorite days! Sandy: our best wishes to Babe…

Hello everyone, a dark wet day here too. Cold and dark and wet! But I keep telling myself this is the road to spring. So to make things cheerful I turned on all of our battery candles. A group of them on the fireplace hearth. I don’t have to lose heat through the fireplace or feed the logs. Just replace batteries…

We had a almost sunny day but not quite. John installed the new stickers on the license plates on the cars. That involves cleaning our famous Oregon mud off first. Messy and time consuming as well as a cold job next to the ground. But is a job that John felt he could easily do. Tonight I will use my grilling pan to make…

Jackie: so glad you are taking George to the vet. Blood in the poo sounds like a trip to the vet is a good idea! I am dealing with the nail clipping again. Katie has a few fishhook type nails tha. T need serious clipping. I am now going to do a sort of trick that Diane sent in that video. Peanut butter on the shower cap.…

When your dog is sick, it knocks you back on your heels. We all know this. They are so sweet and defenseless. Quiet and looking to us for help. And we are trying everything we know to help. Jackie, we all are praying dear George is feeling better soon. When Katie sick, I always wonder if I did something…inadvertently of…

A cold rainy day today. Very wintery North Oregon coast. Listening ago a nice Mozart piece. Dry relaxing. But Iredell to get going. I many more little chores. Tonight is cauliflower pizza night.it is always vegetarian, which is nice. Pretty low cal and no complaints from John. Even better! We are watching the series…

Another drippy here. And chilly as well! Had a very sleepless night. Not sure why, I was just in comfy and thought's just kept running through my rattled brain. To day is trash day. I finally have all the Christmas debris discarded. It is so much fun putting it up and so sad taking it down. Ribbons, wrapping paper, dried…

Hello everyone! Here we are…2023! It is cold and a bit “drippy” outside. Not a great day to be outside playing ball. So it is indoor toss and catch today for Katie. This is also her mail clipping day! Holy moly! I have quite a day ahead. This is also bathroom cleaning day. I will attack John’s bathroom as well as mine.…

Happy new year my dearest sweet sneakers! What a year this 2022 has been! Not my favorite but it did have happy days as well. Nice new year everting. Not really a big celebration but nice contact with friends and family. Sweet John struggling to keep up and being valiant. He is a trooper! We tucked into bed around 2:00 and…

Hey, hello! I got in!!!! Almost new year, 2023. Like everything in life, there will be good, bad and some out-right wonderful times ahead. We had a somewhat unfortunate disaster with our old freezer. One of us opened it to get something and when closing, we didn’t get it completely closed. Sadly things started leaking and…

We have been dealing with a holiday storm. Power outages and torrential rain. It is now starting to wind down. What a Christmas this has been. Not what I planned but all in all we are fine and enjoyed just being together. In the semi-darkness. Oh my gosh! Sandy! Is it you who is in the ER? Babe? I am hoping who ever it is…

God B,ess Us All indded, finally have WiFi after a crazy icy cold storm, delayed Christmas for us. Damon is coming on Christmas Day. Andrea and grandson will show up as well. We will enjoy a small family group with some treats. THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS WILL BE A OUR FAMILY DINNER. I see I have lovely e-cards from Lin and…

Not sure where the rest of my post disappeared to….but I am here. Power outages, icy roads and slick decks and scary walks. We will delay Christmas for a couple of days until we can all get together. Take great care everyone. Patsy☘️🎄🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🐕☔️❄️💦🌨

Roads are icy and almost impassable here. Even the big heavy trash trucks could get around. No matter! Just want everyone safe and warm. Damon will be stuck at home alone but we will defer Christmas until he can get here. Daughter Andrea has her famous seafood chowder ready for their Christmas dinner. I old her not to get…

Holy moly Barbie! That picture of you in the snow gives me the chills from here! Hope you are warm and the doggie is warm as well. A cold storm is headed here soon. Damon is headed here if roads are clear. If not ???? We are set to have a comfy Christmas regardless. I think the kids are set as well. We hope to see them but…

A cold day here and a storm is expected. I am hoping Damon can get back at Christmas but we are flexible. We have celebrated Christmas and other holidays at our own date instead of when the rest of the country celebrated. 25th 26th, 27th ? When ever the roads are passible I am as decorated as I will be this year. Not as…

Brrrrrrrrrr cold and that damp sort that chills to the bone! No sweater, jacket or coat is enough. I have been having fun listening to music on Alexa. Katie, however, barks at her when she talks to us. Not sure why but she doesn’t do that when we watch tv or listen to the radio or stero. We are planning a low key…

Cold here and a damp cold at that., sweater and jacket and hat and gloves! Slick deck and roads as well. Staying inside. In reading about Sandy and Babe,I feel so bad for Babe. In less than two years he lost his home, his dog, his son and his health is deteriorating and now the prospect of losing yet another home with…

WE are still wet and chilly here, no snow, thank goodness. Both John and and I are feeling wobbly these days. We are doing okay but it takes us forever to get anything done. I opted for canned soup, multigrain Chips and clementine oranges for dinner. I was clearing a cabinet to make room for more storage upstairs instead…

Hellos sneakers, our winter weather continues but we are okay. I really need to find a groomer like Barbie has. Katie is a full on PILL when being groomed. Damon found a great house in Seaside, OR but he may be too late in getting in on that. When a nice house comes on the market at a decent price it is a race to the…

Another winter day here. And believe me when I say, I know how busy life can be if one is the care giver in the household. I meet myself coming and going….John remains comfortable as long as he is on those pain meds. I worry so about them and side effects. But until John feels comfortable is doing so, he will not try to do…

A chilly but sort of sunny day. Thin thin clouds keep it from being a blue sky. But on rain so far. I am not so sure I really like Walmart but as of now, when John and are sorting out John’s arthritis and osteoporosis meds etc. I think it best to stay close to home. No big tours through big box stores! I think John is…

Oh Sandy, I am so sorry to hear Babe is I’ll. Horrible that he can’t find a hospital room. Take care of yourself dear. You can’t help Babe is you are Unwell. We are thinking of you both. All our love and wishes for a quick recovery. Patsy☘️

It is cold and soggy out. Katie is in front of the dish space heater. She considers it her heater, I am Such a dunce when it comes to computers etc. I am fearless however. I often just jump in at make horrendous mistakes. Making my Walmart order almost took all day. Good grief I could have walked there and back by now. I…

Hello dear ones, it is really damp and unpleasantly cold. I placed a Walmart order and I am fixing tuna sandwiches for dinner with baked sweet potato “fries.” John and Katie love them. John is still on pain pills. He was prescribed a nsaid a sort of fierce aspirin. They can be dangerous because of bleeding in the stomach.…

Cold and wonder of wonders…we had snow and now we have little icy patches in the shade of trees and to side of the house and deck. Scary to go out on the deck. Even Katie is causious. Welcome back Anne. I am still mystified by the World Cup and soccer. Anyway it is great that so many people are enjoying the big contests.…

Oh my! We had a few big flakes of snow but they quickly melted. Thank goodness. John had an emergency trip to doctors office and then X-ray. Back home to snow. That was tricky since he had to cross the lawn to get in the back door. Thankfully he made it and back into the house. He will get the report on the X-ray later in…

Hello! Wet and chilly but the good news is that our neighbor and a logger friend cleared and cleaned up our drive and little road for us. I can not tell you what a relief that is for me. I have wrung my hands and fussed and worried for at least 3 -5 years about that little road. Then by magic and prayers answered that is…

Hello dear ladies! We have partly cloudy right now but showers are planned this afternoon. Damon is here with an arm full of Alexa Dots. He brought one fir his sister, Andrea. These are to be used to keep us all in contact. Damon is nervous about John’s safety and mine. He wants another sort of emergency thing for us. Plus…
