After reading my latest blog, Craig said “you forgot Valentines Day”. I assured him I had not forgotten but it deserved its own blog. As VD approached, we were both a bit distracted because my surgery would be on the 15th. We both tend towards spontaneous gestures/gifts rather than “big” ones so we both indicatedContinue reading “Our First Valentine’s Day”

I have started several blogs in the past 4 months but for one reason or another they did not get finished. I just saw the automatic renewal for this website and decided it was a waste of money if not used. I also heard from a couple of people that they missed my blogs soContinue reading “What a 4 months it has been!!!!”

During my first meeting with Craig on July 16th, he told me that his best friend from Vietnam would be visiting for several days in October and that there was several things he wanted to get done before the visit. “Oly” Olson lives in Coeur d’Alene, ID. They last saw each other in 2008 inContinue reading “What a week!!!”

It is a brisk 43 degrees this morning. The skies and blue and clear. While there are plenty of leaves on the ground the trees have not really started turning colors yet. It has been a challenging few weeks emotionally as we made the decision to re-home both of our dogs. Buckley’s jealousy of CarliContinue reading “Fall arrives”

It is so fun to be joined by the herd of cows at various times of the day. The major outdoor work is completed and now we are moving on to cleaning and organizing the shop including installation of a hydraulic lift for car maintenance. It is fun to have so many various ways toContinue reading “A fuller life”

There is a bit of lull in activity this morning so I am able to catch up on blogging. I think of lots of things I would like to blog about but am too tired at the end of the days to do them. When I decided to go on Match.com, I was looking forContinue reading “While I was looking for a playmate, I found myself as well”

The herd of cows joined us for morning coffee. It seemed that the entire herd passed by through Magic Forest. Carli went right up to the fence had had a short conversation with one of the adults. Her barking scattered a cluster of spring calves. Carli is getting braver at exploring around the property –Continue reading “Company for morning coffee”

Craig did a great job picking out his cycling helmet. Blue is definitely his color. We were fortunate to be able to borrow two bikes that had big enough frames for Craig – a trial bike and a road bike like mine for him to try to see if he indeed will enjoy cycling andContinue reading “A successful first bike ride – PHEW!!”

I previously mentioned that the dog patio was Craig and my second project together. Painting his master bedroom was the first. On my second or third visit, he mentioned that he wanted to repaint his bedroom and he wanted it to be romantic and cheerful. So I go to Google and search for romantic colorsContinue reading ““He’s all in””

While Carli has been responding to Craig’s Boot Camp, Buckley has remained challenging. Buckley has a nice outdoor pen with a section that has a nice roof. He has a doghouse and water under his roof. His doghouse has a nice bed (or at least it was before he chewed on it months ago). ItContinue reading “Buckley does not like sharing his pen”
