Had Auggie back to vet this morning to look at his incisions. They were looking kind of strange and not healing up all that great. The vet took him back to clean him up and he was unhappy! I could hear him voicing his displeasure. Got him a new e-collar, antibiotics, and some menuka honey … Continue reading
Auggie had two lumps removed from his chest on Tuesday. One of them was a Mast Cell Tumor and was right on top of his jugular vein! He’s looking pretty scary at the moment, but seems to be healing up pretty well. The blow-up collar is helping. I’ve taken it off a couple of times … Continue reading
I’ve moved the laptop to the family room where I spend most of my time these days and I’m hoping that having the machine close by it will motivate me to blog more often. It has been a busy year since Birdie joined the family. Having a puppy is always a lot of work, and … Continue reading
I have been MIA for almost a year. That’s all on me, and the fact that life sometimes take over and smacks us around a bit. When I retired two years ago, I came back to Florida to help my parents. We had a couple of trips to the emergency room for falls, and a … Continue reading
… that now that I’ve been retired for a year, that I would have some wonderful adventures planned or at the very least enough time on my hands to pay more attention to my blog. Yeah, right! Almost all of my belongs are still in boxes in the garage along with a considerable number of … Continue reading
I like old photographs, they intrigue me and spark my imagination. Who were these people? How did their photos end up on eBay? What were their lives like? Every once and a while, I’ll find old photos with names, dates and/or locations written on the front or back of the picture. In this day and … Continue reading
My dad was in the emergency room twice last week. The first time was because of a fall (getting into bed) and a follow up the next for a CT scan because he was acting stranger than usual. The nurses getting my dad checked in on Friday started out by getting him comfortable and asking … Continue reading
I recently retired (early) and moved in with my mom and dad, mainly to help them as they age in place. My dad is 89 and my mom 85. They are not in the best of health, either. The last few months have been a big adjustment for all of us. Yesterday, I realized that … Continue reading
I collect old photos. I buy them at yard sales, thrift stores, on CraigsList and on eBay. I recently purchased a slide/negative viewer/scanner to look at some slides that I took on a trip to Ireland in the early 1980s. As a result, I am now collecting old slides, too. Its a sickness! I have a … Continue reading

I have a bag of old negatives that I came across about 8 years ago. Most of the photos came from California and were from the 1940’s and 50’s. I finally figured out how to get a digital print using a “light box” app on my tablet and software on my phone to reverse the … Continue reading
I bought a photo/negative/slide scanner the other day and went to town on a stack of old slides from a trip to Ireland that I made with my mother in 1981. Here are a few of the photos. Specifically of the dogs that we came across on the trip. Click on the individual photo for … Continue reading
I recently moved back to Florida and am living with my parents in my retirement. Looking after things here is a full-time job. Not exactly what I thought I would be doing in my retirement. But, the rent is cheap! My household effects were delivered the beginning of July and I still have about 45 … Continue reading
