This post is coming to you from Eureka!, Missouri, site of the 2008 Clumber Spaniel national specialty show. I arrived a few hours ago, missing the kids, spouse, and dogs back at home. CD always behaves as though flying solo is effortless so I am refusing to worry about them. Miss them? Yes. Worry? Not [...]

It’s been forever since I posted a picture of the kids. Bubba got in there as a bonus. Eleanor’s hair is long enough for pigtails now, and Oliver looks more grown up every day.
Tuesday nights require Scholastic DVD since CD has a conference call during the time he usually amuses the kids while I cook. [...]

My dog Piper went to Bong today. She had been there before, on a very happy day when she was first introduced to birds. Today was a little different, but she didn’t go alone. My dear friends Helen and Otto took half of her ashes along on a training session and scattered them in the [...]

After 12 days of togetherness, it was back to the real world for everyone in the family. Kids to their respective day cares, and the adults to their offices. Though we’re going at 110% at my office to get ready for the semester to start next Monday, it was still a welcome change. I think [...]

Sorry for the lack of photographic evidence tonight. I was too busy trying to figure out how to properly adjust my MacBook so Aunt Suzy could witness local events. Oh how I long for the old iSight cameras that clipped on and were nicely adjustable. What the heck am I going to do at Christmas? [...]

Penguin and Bubba received the oddly phallic “furminator” as their gift today in our 24 days of Christmas. I tried to get Pen interested in helping to open the gift, thinking it was treats and would therefore smell good. I should have just listened to Oliver when he told me Penguin and Bubba don’t know [...]

It was CD’s turn for a present today in the 24 Days of Christmas. Suzy sent one of his favorites, Twiglets. Oliver called them “Piglets” the first time he tried them, but they are a favorite of his too. Eleanor tried one and seemed to like it too.
In other news, it is Bubba’s birthday today [...]

Instead of being a good little blogger, crafting a post worthy of my readers, I watched Casino Royale tonight, because that’s what you do the night before going to see the movie that starts moments after Casino Royale ends. I’m thinking this was a good thing. Though the jury in my head remains out on Daniel [...]

There really isn’t a third dog in there. This is just what Suzy took out of Bubba tonight. And people wonder why there are tumbleweeds in my house.
As expected, the Capitol Steps show was amazing. As much as I am looking forward to the end of this election season, it sure is giving them great [...]

The recipe for bacon wrapped cornish hens from A Year of Crockpotting is appealing on so many levels that I want to go to the store and get the ingredients right now. If I thought there was any hope of finding a replacement glass lid to my crockpot on that shopping trip that’s what I would be [...]
