SQUIRREL!
Yesterday, I was watching a webinar and the speaker stopped his presentation to let us all know there was a squirrel on his porch. As a matter of fact, he has a camera—the squirrel-cam—dedicated to watching the porch should there be any wildlife sightings. It was a...
Motivational Monday!
A week or so ago I was in the elevator with a dog walker I have seen in the neighborhood a lot. Although I simply started out with a, "Good morning!," we quickly got into a conversation about dogs. I explained how I was struggling with walking my dog, Ella, because...
Friday’s Quote
"You don't drown by falling in the water, you drown by staying there. " Edwin Louis Cole If we were to fall in the water somewhere, surely we would scramble to get out, right? Some of us would swim, some of us would doggy-paddle, and some of us would need a helping...

Doug and I were hiking the other day in Colorado and I couldn't help but notice the vegetation. It wasn't particularly pretty at all. I would have described it as hardy. As a matter of fact, if you had placed me there without me knowing I was in Colorado, I would have...
Motivational Monday!
On our flight home from Colorado last night, we were so happy to get both the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Eagles games on the inflight T.V. When we finally realized that we could watch the Yankees game, I saw a very close call at first base being replayed...
