Dying with Debra

I awoke feeling much better but poor Krista has had an allergic reaction to the shellfish and her eyes are quite swollen. Caro is coughing (she said she has been for 2 weeks) so Jake, Krista and I walked to CVS to get some meds.  It is 70 degrees and rainy, but the rain hasn’t…

This morning Baxter had another training session with Trish from Dawg Phonics. Hans and I told her we did not feel comfortable using the shock collar, and because we weren’t using it consistently she agreed to put it to the side. We worked on heel and sit with Baxter. The challenge was that Trisha’s service…

I have just finished a marathon. I tried on and accessorized my outfits for the DC trip next week.  It was fun to play with fall colors.  All the outfits feature green and crème.  For the memorial , I’ll wear all black with a scarf that is the American flag.  The scarf was given to…

So today this happened… I am trying to paste a photo of the award that I got today, but have been informed that I have hit my maximum attachment limit. Not sure what this means but immediately sent word to my favorite software, fix-it man, my son Jake  SO. hopefully the problem will be resolved…
