Nancy, this trip is such a blessing. Have a wonderful time and cherish the memories. My brother Bob, and his husband Mitch, arrived yesterday. Mitch had tendon surgery and is just now able to get around with a cane. That means Bob does not feel he can make the trip to Holland and Belgium in September. I am taking advantage of this trip to get all the "brotherly wisdom" I can. For example, my niece and nephew want me to buy the house next door to them as rental (and "eventual") property. Bob thinks it's a good idea and is willing to go in on it as a partnership if I don't want to lay out all the money. Plusalso, we navigate the care and handling of cranky husbands. To be fair, Mitch is not usually cranky but Bob has been doing full care giving for a couple of months now (not Mitch's first tendon surgery poor guy ). Rita, have a good day, sweetie.

Aw, Ducky

You know, they put on airs of being literate and yet... Lupin, you are stupidly handsome! My brother and brother-in-law are coming today to stay overnight. I did my cooking yesterday. Richard vacuumed. Today, I will , , and put the new comforter on the guest bed. When Jupe gets a shampoo or the lanai gets swept is unknown at this point. Jupe woke me up at 6:30 this morning with a scream. Not uncommon. We can only guess that he moves a certain way and pinches a nerve or he's just . Rita! You poor little thing! Backandforth

I know! squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I was doing the NYT mini crossword just now. A 5 letter word, "very excited with "up". I put "cited" and they said NO.

Checking in on FancyTwo and I see it's greyt news! O.K., not greyt but treatable. Ivy, you look good in anything but especially peenk and purkle. mmmm.... chips Vanessa, I have good news/bad news. Th bad news is that I "beat you" with 3 different sources of migraine. The good news is that menopause just about wiped them out completely.

Class remedy. At one time, they had me on old fashioned caffergot. There's a reason caffeine works. Jupe, who decided late yesterday that I really am his momma and deserved forgiveness would like to chime in. Hi! HI! It's me! Jupiter Poopiter! We went onna nice wiki walkie and wented to Home Depo! I did FIVE poops! Number 2 through ( I said Number 2) Number 2 thru 5 were soft butt there were 5 FIVE!! And, I did one inna tree. We went through the garden center at Home Depot and walked not 6' from a cat up in the shelves of topsoil Jupe never suspected a thing even thought I heard the cat growling.

A field of yellow rapeseed. Is that what the Canola oil fields look like? FancyTwo, we will all backanforth for you and think pawsitive thoughts. Lupin, what a fabulous day you had at work. I am hoping you will have many more. It sounds like you were a very good boi and that's the first step in getting your own office.

Greyt headband, Ducky Happy, Kosher Passover Happy Birthday, Lupin!

Backandforth for FancyTwo. Jupiter seems completely uninterested in the fact that I'm home. He's not a "people dog" other than following me from room to room. I suspect that has more to do with knowing where his next cookie/walkie/kibble comes from.

Ivy and her llama!

I watched Squid Games. I made a joke about it when my students did their presentations. I think they were impressed that I knew it. I’ve done nothing today but drink water, nap and read. Oi, traveling is tiring!

Momma’s home!Momma’s home! Momma’s home! Momma’s home!

These pictures are wonderful! And a good photo of Flashy finally. I’m glad everyone is having a good time, except the Silken Windhound. It’s just like Ducky to leap into action and help others, isn’t it?

And it’s my niece’s birthday, too. I made her a little giftie and packed it in my suitcase. hope all the houndies have lovely birthdays with all sorts of pets and treats.

Good morning. My body has no flippin’ idea what time it is. One hour difference plus different meal times and I’m lost. Up at 4:15 this morning after going to sleep at 11:15 (couldn’t help but watch the finale of Wilderness). I got to give Henry his bottle last night. It was fun. I’ll share a picture when I get back to land of Laptop. Have fun at GiG!
