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 …

10 things that get in the way of reading.

So yesterday’s top ten Tuesday’s prompt was: Things that get in the way of reading. I never remember Top Ten Tuesday because it’s not something I follow religiously until I see another blog posting about it and if it’s an interesting prompt. Since I’ve been busy the last few weeks, obviously it wasn’t on my …

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 …

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 …

Namesake

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 …

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 …
