I was challenged to the ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) ice bucket challenge. For anyone (is there anyone?) who hasn't heard about it, you are challenged by a friend, relative, or maybe enemy to either donate $10 to ALS and dump a bucket of ice water over your head, or skip the ice … Continue reading Monday Musings: Iced

Monday Musings: A Little of This, A Little of That
Just some random updates and thoughts today: How is the puppy doing, you ask? (And even if you didn't, I am going to tell you, anyway.) He is doing great! He was quite good at his Level 2 Obedience class last week. Much more focused and ready to work than the last time we tried … Continue reading Monday Musings: A Little of This, A Little of That

Monday Musings: Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary
How does my garden grow? This year, not too badly. I tilled in a load of composted chicken manure and shavings from the coop in the Spring, and it sure has helped! The plants, for the most part, are big, green, and leafy. Of course, the manure is high nitrogen, which promotes leaf growth, so … Continue reading Monday Musings: Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary

Monday Musings: In the Good Old Summertime
It's going to be a hot week here. High temperatures, possible thunderstorms, all that stuff we get in the summer. Still, I'd rather be hot than frozen! And it is Fourth of July week, so lots of vacationers, parties, and fireworks. It will be interesting to see how (or if) Lambeua reacts to those. Had … Continue reading Monday Musings: In the Good Old Summertime

Monday Musings: Trigger Warning: My View on Trigger Warnings
There has been a lot of interest lately on the issue of trigger warnings. For those who may not know, a trigger warning is a label put on something (books, films, music, blog posts, forum questions, anything, really) that may have content that could disturb another person. I found this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/18/us/warning-the-literary-canon-could-make-students-squirm.html?_r=2 which explains how … Continue reading Monday Musings: Trigger Warning: My View on Trigger Warnings

Monday Musings: Full House
No, I don't mean the 90's sitcom, although we did watch that one faithfully. I mean my own house on Saturday. We did Easter dinner then, since most of the family was able to make it on that day. The only one missing was Steph, since she had to work. She came over for dinner … Continue reading Monday Musings: Full House

Monday Musings: Change is Fun?
We recently decided to migrate most of our shared virtual world to Google apps. We are doing this mainly because it was getting more and more difficult to coordinate everything across multiple computers, phones, tablets, and all the other electronic goodies that have become so much a part of everyone's life. Just trying to keep … Continue reading Monday Musings: Change is Fun?

Monday Musings: Vacation’s over, and It’s Back to the (Virtual) Real World
Yes, I know it's not April just yet, but since this is a Monday post, I'm putting it up here today. When we left off at the beginning of the month, I had decided to take the rest of March off from most of the internet. No blogs, no social media, nothing of that nature. … Continue reading Monday Musings: Vacation’s over, and It’s Back to the (Virtual) Real World

Wednesday Wanderings: This Time, I’m the One Wandering (Away)
Good morning! As some have noticed, there has been a lack of blog posting lately. I have excuses. Oh, yes, I do have excuses. “We were away.” For one weekend. Nope, not good enough. “The puppy, you see, takes up a lot of time.” He does, yes. But there are also times when he is … Continue reading Wednesday Wanderings: This Time, I’m the One Wandering (Away)

Monday Musings: The Olympics
It is time for the Winter Olympics again, and that means it is also time for all the Olympics haters to come out of the woodwork. There are a lot of them, it seems. Now, I don't really care if you love or hate the games. I happen to like them, especially the Winter games. … Continue reading Monday Musings: The Olympics
