Today is the two-year anniversary of Paisley’s adoption. Mama and I absolutely adore her, falling more in love with each snore and waddle. We feel deeply grateful this spunky, loving girl is part of our family. Paisley celebrated with a special dog cookie and lots of cuddles! Mama and I also both got our hair…
Mama’s got a brand new set of wheels! Her snazzy, new rollator (a 4-wheeled walker) arrived today, and it is a wonderful support! It’s easy to maneuver, has a seat for when Mama needs a rest, and there’s a canvas bag tucked under the cushion for storage! The rollator will make it safer and easier…

Rather than making our typical Sweary Eggs, I enlisted Mama’s help to test our new, colorful, food-safe markers. They’re called Rainbow…
Mama and I have planted a veggie garden every spring/summer since we moved to Santa Rosa a few years ago. In the beginning, we produced nothing edible. By last summer, we had improved greatly. We planted early and produced an excellent kitchen herb garden, and delicious zucchini, tomatoes, and more! Mama and I especially enjoyed…
