Catching Up

 A friend recently shared that she has a blog; and I suddenly remembered, "oh, I have a blog too!" Lol

Our Skye girl crossed the rainbow bridge in March. She was such a diva. We love her, but she was so often a stinker.  Definitely not one of our easiest goldens, but she got G Dog through his last years, she got us through Judson's leaving, and moving into the new house.  She almost killed Murphy as a puppy, but once he got bigger and faster than her, he got her back <3

I opened a new psychotherapy office in January, thinking it would be up and running within a couple, maybe three months.  That too is a lol situation :P But it's okay, the universe is showing me a better dream. 

Artemis II went further into the universe than ever before.  Their mission was a beautiful inspiration. We are so small down here.

Mark's birthday with our beautiful Bets.

My mama with her newest great grand Henrik :)

That Was January 2025

I have seriously neglected this little space on the internet!  It was a rough winter, but we have survived.  Our Betsy turned 17 in January.  She's so beautiful, and such a sweet soul! I love her past heaven and back <3

An attempt at a picture with Murphy.  He's the howling-est golden we've ever had.  

He makes us laugh every day.

It's been nine years keto now.  I'm not at my smallest, but this collage helps me remember where I've been.

October 2023

Mark painted the front door black for me.  I love it!  Murphy and Skye are pretty indifferent about color as long as they each get a window :P

Trevor got married so we got a few family pictures.  None of the bride & groom though!

 

February Recap

Grandma Peggy at the craft mall.  She sent Bets and Kyle a dragon's eye in their Christmas box. So cute!

Murphy and Skye waiting on Mark to come upstairs to feed them their supper!

Oceanna had snow!

More waiting on food.  They have a lot of practice at it lol

V's 85th birthday party

 

Murphy's Birthday!

Murphy gets to be the birthday boy now, he's OnE!

 

More March

Judson's stone at the cemetery.  There were dozens of robins on the hill just across, all busy looking for their breakfast worms.  I know Judson is with me all the time, we have some good talks these days.

Murphy and Skye look so pretty and so innocent when they're waiting for a treat!

Rachel's bunny wreath turned out really cute.  She picked out the elements and I just put them together.  She's got the eye of an artist.

Tiny peeks from the bulbs.  They know we're getting closer :)

 

February 2022 Report

Our Kyle is 12!  And V had another birthday too. 

Those February birthdays get us to celebrate even when it's cold outside😄

Isaac in his booth at the gem show.  This was a big experience!

After the gem show, they all headed for a beautiful spot in California

We've had a couple of big snows that the dogs loved!

We love getting these sweet pictures of Oceanna.  She's got that little signature wave we love so much

 

January 2022

 Well, that was fast.  Day to day, January was cold and dreary, but now we're at the very end of it already.

Betsy at 5 and this year at 14. She'll always be our little girl.  Now that is time flying!  I told Isaac that Oceanna would be 14 next week.  That's how it seems.

Mama & PJ's buttons made their debut in Quartzside! 

Isaac and Jen and Oceanna finished up their month in Quartzside and are now set up in Tuscon.   I hope we can go be with them next year in the desert sunshine for February 2023.

Our social media feeds are full of divisive insults about the virus.  I try to remember that we're all here to love each other and not get my feelings hurt too bad.  We're not thru with masks yet, I'm thankful we have them. I'm thankful for Mark's treatment, it's gone well so far. 

We went to our fourth puppy class last night, it went better!  Yay!

Mama's cute little heart pillow featured on the bathroom mirror wreath for spring :)
