Turn-In Saturday and Sun-Dogs
We turned Einstein in to CCI last Saturday. It was a fairly un-eventful drive, pretty normal with Einstein sleeping all 6 hours curled up on his bed in the back of the car, changing positions every once in awhile only to move into a better position to capture the sun upon his fur. We’d hear… Continue reading Turn-In Saturday and Sun-Dogs
More Fall Colors and Party Prepping
We are having a going away (or Good Luck!) party today for Einstein. I know what you're thinking, a party for a dog? NO. It's a party for us, the humans, and Einstein is the excuse to break out the grill, paint the chairs, invite friends over and clean the house...and have a good time… Continue reading More Fall Colors and Party Prepping
Scenes From The Dashboard – Whistling Straits
When Mom and Dad were here a few weeks ago we drove up to Kohler, Wisconsin and visited Whistling Straits. I have to confess that I did not know what Whistling Straits was and for a week I was telling my boss I was going to Whispering Springs. Whispering, Whistling, what's the difference right? And… Continue reading Scenes From The Dashboard – Whistling Straits
Einstein at 18 Months – 2 Weeks Left In Our Journey To Raise a Service Dog
In June of last year (2010) Jim and I drove to Milwaukee and picked up a little 10 week old puppy, delivered to us special delivery, from Canine Companions for Independence. We had no idea what in the world we were in for with this little guy. All we knew was that we (I) needed… Continue reading Einstein at 18 Months – 2 Weeks Left In Our Journey To Raise a Service Dog
Scenes From The Dashboard — Fall!
Hi Y'all! It's here! For the next two weeks these colors will be different nearly every day. I do love the changing of the leaves here in Northern Illinois. Some years the trees can be just so beautiful and luminous, especially on my ride home from work when the sun is low in the sky… Continue reading Scenes From The Dashboard — Fall!

At The Auction -Two Quilt Tops!
Yesterday was the big auction I wanted to go to while visiting family in Ft. Wayne. Jim dropped me off before noon and I stayed for about an hour and a half. There were boxes and boxes of fabric, quilting books, quilting supplies, quilt toppers, notions and many more household goods. I won two quilt… Continue reading At The Auction -Two Quilt Tops!
Scenes From The Dashboard – What Is It?
Hi Everyone, On our trip to Indiana we followed an 'Oversize Load'. Can you guess what this thing is? It looks like a big fin of a gigantic whale.But we think it most definitely is one of the arms of a gigantic wind turbine (windmill). This picture is a grab from the internet... source unknown… Continue reading Scenes From The Dashboard – What Is It?
ACL’s, PCL’s, Meniscus Oh My! Oh My! My MRI!
Well here she is... My non-medical Google degree is telling me there is something not quite right with my ACL, some meniscus (on some other slides) and some really real revelation that I have one fatty fat pad and surrounding fat stores in my leg!!! LOL! The MRI was on Tuesday this week and I've… Continue reading ACL’s, PCL’s, Meniscus Oh My! Oh My! My MRI!
