In Stereo

Not only is today my baby's 21st birthday, it's also the six month mark for Smokey. Do you know what this means? A moment of silence, please. Buh-bye balls! Poor kitty! I take my animals to a good ol' country vet, which means a 20 minute car ride to get there. I used to take …

Two Peas In A Pod

My husband and I are very much alike. As with anybody, he has strengths that I don't have and I've got strengths that he doesn't. We really complement each other and work well together as a couple. One of the things that I love about him the most is his ability to make me laugh. …

Oh, The Fun

It has been a weird twenty-four hour period in time. Insomnia last night - normal for some, not normal for me. Thunderstorms in the middle of January, along with tornado warnings at the lake.
