I told Alejandra, I wouldn’t say good-bye, I’d say, “Until the next time.” We should be used to good-byes around here, but they’re never easy for me. She made it back to Spain and this morning when I woke up, her room seemed SO EMPTY. Well, she might not be...
Rubà was tucked into bed (Silas was allowed to stay up) and we continued our Christmas.
There is a big mistake that we can often make leading up to Christmas. Too much rushing around and not enjoying the MOMENTS. For many years now, I have treated the whole holiday like a season, and not allow all this preparation to be for ONE DAY. So I am...
Dina and Bella came for lunch. I had not met Dina’s granddaughter yet, so this was going to be a treat, seeing Dina again, and having our grandchildren play together.
Something very sweet this morning, while talking to John on the webcam….looking behind me and seeing Silas petting Jasper while watching Sesame Street. Yaya came in and said, “Oh your daddy used to like Bert and Ernie, probably still does.” 🙂

Laura started Christmas Day, relaxing in the chair and a half with Jasper and a book. The 22 pound turkey looked beautiful. Lots of presents around the tree of course. All part of mom’s glory, the dinner table… The kids wait patiently to open presents. Linda and George, as they...
Needless to say, while Silas was here, our baby kitty was quite a hit. What was cute was he would call our older cat, Dante, “Big”, and he would call our new addition, Jasper, “Small”. Later, as Laura couldn’t find the baby kitty and she was calling him, “Jaaaaaaaaaaasper” Silas...
While Enric, Miranda, and Silas is here, my sister and family brought Aiden and Conner for a visit. Conner got to know the new baby kitty. Silas and the boys had some fun at the pool. Conner and Aiden got to help feed baby kitty Jasper. Jasper is growing up...
Our little addition to the house now has a name! We decided to call him Jasper! He is growing fast, but still gets bottle fed.
In my animals section, I found photos of pets (and not all of them ours), that I just have to add here.
and...
