This may come off as a rambling of my love affair with my dog. Or it may be my endorphin high talking. Or perhaps a combination of both. I have always loved animals, but somehow this is just different. When Eric and I were first married, he deployed and I had a dumb-attack and adopted…

Like most people, I love the weekend.

Those no agenda days are simply bliss…

I needed to pick up a couple of things for dinner at the store. Three items was all I was getting so it was to be a quick in-and-out trip. I asked my daughter if she’d like to come with me to grab some stuff. She said yes and went to get her shoes. She’s…
