We’ve had our first bit of winter weather this weekend. Ice, sleet, a bit of snow, the works. Poor pugs trying to climb down the deck stairs to go potty was quite a site. My husband is a safety freak so at the first mention of winter weather by our local weather guys Jon was…

Music I was Challenged by Lisa to list 10 songs from my mp3 player:I don’t have an mp3 player, so I’ll just list some from my cd collection that are on heavy rotation in the car. 1. “Beyond the Sea” – Bobbie Darin 2. “Careful” – Guster 3. “Tainted Love”- Soft Cell 4. “One Eyed…
