Moving Challenges
There are so many challenges to making a physical change in where you live, but I have listed a few for your entertainment. 1. New address, zip code, new house phone number, you look like an idiot who dooesn’t know where you live as you dig out or look up your new info on your…
Read MoreDiscoveries
One of the great things about moving to a new place is discovering all the treasures. The warm spot to sit, the best tree to watch, and the places where all the birds go. We have yet to set up our feeders or bird baths. Nature, however, has placed two magnificent old trees in our…

If you are an American, please vote today. I really don’t care about your political convictions, but please participate in the process. By using your rights, you protect them. Too many Americans have lived with rights for so long, they have forgotten how fundamentally important all those rights are and when they are threatened some…
Read MoreJethro
Animals are sensitive, I think most people know that. They can get their feelings hurt, experience anxiety over separation and have other issues.

Read MoreProgress!

By now everyone knows we are packing and moving to the new house. Under normal circumstances I love my collections: pottery, blown glass, carnival glass, ceramics, crystal and even perfume bottles. I have a collection of flowers, vases, all kinds of bells and some really amazing pieces from all over the world. Packing them, I…
Read MoreMia and Pit
After the newly mated pair had recovered their senses once the bond was complete, Mia introduced Pit to her territory dragon, Konos. Pit had met him before, and he expected the older dragon to offer him a place in his clan if for no other reason than to keep Mia’s skills close. He did not…
