You haven’t heard much out of me lately and that’s because my life has involved one goal: keep the dog alive in Mauri’s absence. Usually when Mauri goes to help lead retreats at the coast during the month of January, I dive into a long list of projects collected over the past 11 months. This [...]

Since God is the God of second chances, I thought I’d follow his example and give Mr. Darcy a second chance. So I moved or removed the temptation toward mischief, feeling certain she couldn’t reach what I pushed way back toward the wall. And for insurance, I made sure she had her favorite pumpkin toy [...]

It isn’t as though I haven’t gone out of my way to help Mr. Darcy not miss her master while he’s at the coast all week.
I let her sprawl next to me on the loveseat. I regularly scratch behind her ears, feed/water her, comb her fur, throw her the ball…
And this is how she thanks [...]

Ever wonder what an eighth of a cow looks like?
Looks like we made room for a fourth of a cow. Next time we’ll know.

The last time Mauri went shooting birds (with his camera) he quickly downloaded this shot into his computer …
…to try to identify that bird camouflaged in the grass to the right of the post.
I’m glad he didn’t wait around to see it in flight!
Here’s a real bird, shot through the window to our backyard.
A hummingbird!

Here’s an update in pictures of our weekend. Mauri and I flew to Denver on Thursday. My joyful assignment was to look after Cass while her parents attended a CHCC marriage retreat up at Snow Mountain Ranch in the Rockies. Mauri went with them to lead worship at the retreat.
Here’s the little princess, dressed [...]

I got stopped for speeding the other day. I thought I could talk my way out of it until the cop looked at my dog in the backseat.

Just before Mauri left for the coast for three weeks we ordered a new Pentax SLR digital camera. After the first retreat he came home for a day and was happy to discover its delivery. He took it back to the coast to begin learning how to use it, and here are some of the [...]

There they were, two young deer in the fenced clearing across from the mill entrance on Wynooski. They seemed to be playing and didn’t really mind my approach and rolling to a stop. But pretty soon they started to move off…not toward the closest woods, but down the clearing away from me. Adolescent deer look [...]
