Saturday I went to Ellie’s birthday party. Ellie lives next door to me & turned 7. She asked me if I’d paint faces at her party. Absolutely! The party was held at a local horse stables. There were pony rides & a maze & after cake we went on a hayride. My first ever. They…

We’re blessed with great weather on this trip. Blue skies during the day with nice breezes, chilly air at night.This trip is pretty laid back. Lots of book reading and chilling out. For some reason when we’re at the mountain house, Molly glues herself to CSP and forces him to hold her pretty much 24/7.…

My nephew Jacob in his Cub Scout uniform. I asked him all about his patches on his shirt. When we got to the patch of the American flag I said “What’s this one mean?” He said “That’s the Pledge of Allegiance flag. Aunt Shanny, would you like to buy some popcorn?” Who could resist that little…

CSP’s Mom’s (MIL) birthday was September 18. We had planned on being in the mountains for the week so we invited her along. She was really excited to get away from work and get some mountain pug love! MIL & I are both interested in old churches so I made sure to take her to…

CSP is my husband. He is a wonderful, loving, funny, amazing man. He is also very, very shy. Another one of his attributes is that he’s extremely safety conscious. Hence his nickname Captain Safety Pants, CSP for short. He doesn’t like for me to use his real name on the internet for safety reasons so…

This is Sam. Sam is approximately 16 years old (he’s a rescue so he could be older.) Sam is the family dog. He lives with Papa, Gigi, Momo, & Roger the cat on a cul-de-sac. Sam has gone deaf, he has a seizure disorder, has cataracts, & is pretty senile. He also has a routine.…
