Things we’ve been doing.

We went to the zoo on Sunday. We watched the seal and sea lion show and they jumped up to touch targets. It was cool to see how high they could go. We were with some family members and the niece liked holding my hand the whole time. She told her mommy and nana that …

My Birthday Dog.

Birthday Boy. We adopted our dog three years ago today. Since we don’t know his real birthday, we decided that his adoption day would be his birthday. He was about two when we got him so now he’s five. He’s been the best boy that one could ever ask for in a dog. Yesterday I …

A Visit at the Beach.

Historic Waterfront in Georgetown, SC. Photo by Ashley French April 2023 At the end of April, we went down to the Carolinas for about a week. We stayed for a couple days in North Carolina before heading down to Georgetown, South Carolina. Georgetown was beautiful, we spent the first afternoon walking down the waterfront in …

Weekend Pursuits 4/14/23 to 4/16/23

This weekend (so far) has been pretty busy for me. I had to take my dog for his yearly shots Friday afternoon so I took him for a walk an hour or two beforehand so he could be in a happy mood before we went inside. He whined and cried the whole time we were …

If you could have something named after you, what would it be? I’d want to have a national park or even a state park named after me. I love hiking and being outside in nature just makes me feel happy and at peace with myself. Having some kind of park named after me would be …

The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott.

I managed to finish reading "The Secrets We Kept" by Lara Prescott yesterday. It didn't take me long to read in the general scheme of reading books (maybe 1.5-2 weeks), but to me it felt like it took forever. I bought the book off of Thriftbooks because it was a Reese's Book Club choice not …

Brain Games — Sudoku

I took a child development class the last half of my senior year of high school. On the last week of school, my teacher brought out sheets of paper with sudoku puzzles on them. I didn’t know how to play, so she and a couple others told me how to play and from there on …

Books and Life 3/22/23

I'm currently reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. I started reading it a few days ago and I'm already halfway through it. I didn't think I'd enjoy it but since I'm trying to read books that I already own, I decided I might as well read it and see what's going on …
