Links: Because Sometimes Writing is Hard.

Smells Like Teen Spirit like you’ve never heard it before – amazing and currently on repeat Amazing pencil drawing. Amazing. The end period. Another Thing I Need: The Traveler’s Bed Bug Thwarting Sleeping Cocoon. I’m taking a sleeping bag on our Thanksgiving trip for this express purpose, but now I’m wondering if it’s fibers are […]

Book Review: The Twelve by Justin Cronin

I have no problem diving into a 500-plus page book and devouring it in a matter of days. If the book is as good as some I’ve read, all the better. I love getting sucked into a great story. Book reviews are another matter. Most book reviews are too long and use too many unusual […]

So I’m putting myself on restriction. Things I need to Google Less Puppies. Cute, furball, yellow Labrador puppies especially. The Kanes […]

No Excuse November

Wow. In some ways I cannot believe it’s already NOVEMBER. In other ways, I can totally believe it. 2012 has been overwhelming in the most wonderful and most stressful ways. Sometimes very, very difficult, but without exception it’s been positive. Sometimes growing pains are uncomfortable, yes? Job changes, losing old friends, losing our Sweet Gussie, […]

Sweet Baby Gussie

This weekend we said goodbye to our sweet Gus. He was such a wonderful dog and we are devastated, but so very thankful for the time we had with him. Gussie channeled our every emotion and hated nothing more than for one of us to be upset. So instead of crying as I write, I’m […]

Our first stop was Pedernalas Cellars in Stonewall, Texas just outside of Fredricksburg. A beautiful Fall-ish Sunday afternoon, a group of lovely ladies, a […]
