Playing

 Here are some of the playhouses in our area. Did you have a playhouse or treehouse growing up? This one is clearly really homemade.




This one is like a castle fort.


This one looks like it is mainly for exercise.


So cute for a little girl to play house.


And an ark playhouse!

Wednesday Thoughts

 I saw this cartoon on Facebook, and thought how well it fit ME..It's not that I don't get things done. They just take weeks instead of a day like they used to. How about you?


No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.

Vivian

Here we are having a Zoom conference today. We look yellow because it was dark out and we had incandescent lightbulbs on. But who is that on the other end?

It is our brand new granddog Vivian! She is seven years old & part yellow lab. Our son & his family have just adopted her, and she is so sweet! She goes to the door and stands there when she needs to go out. They will tell her to get in her bed, and she will go and curl up in it.

Vivian's owner had gotten very sick with covid. When she got out of the hospital, her lungs were so bad that her doctor told her she could not keep her dog anymore. That is when our daughter-in-law read about her story, went to visit Vivian, and fell in love with her. I wish we could go over and play with her!!

The Fire

I found this somewhere on line, I don't remember where. And they swore it was the real thing, and not altered or photoshopped. What do you think? I kinda think it's real!

A Cat & Her Girl

This is a recent picture of Toodles the kitty and her girl. The girl being our granddaughter Anne Marie. As Anne Marie's mom says, it is clearly a cat and her girl, not a girl and her cat. Because you can clearly see who owns who.


A dog has an owner. A cat has staff.

Cheesy

 We made another visit to the locally Mennonite owned cheese shop, which is kind of like an old general store with a deli. The usual carriag...
