I'm happy to announce that Cyrus is feeling much better and is pretty much back to his usual peppy, perky, puppy self.  (Try to say that...

Poor Cyrus has had a rough couple of days.  He started acting uncomfortable on Wednesday night and couldn't seem to sit without it hurti...

I LOVE jewelry!  Silver.  Gold.  Gemstones.  Diamonds.  Bracelets.  Rings.  Necklaces.  Pretty much anything.  I'm not too picky.  I ord...

I'm so glad that Cyrus is patient (sort of), laid-back (most of the time), and doesn't mind me constantly sticking a camera in his f...

Looking at the calendar, Keaton will be leaving us in a few more weeks to head back to college.  Sigh.  It's been nice having him home t...

What do jell-o shots and German have in common?  Well...not only did I make jell-o shots with schnapps over the weekend, but I'm now tea...

Any of you who know my dog (or follow my blog) know that he's a big baby.  He's a prissy indoor dog who doesn't like to get his ...

I haven't been in a creative mood lately and haven't done any scrapbooking.  I could blame it on the heat wave.  I could blame it on...

Yesterday, I was able to visit with my ten-year-old niece, face-to-face...even though she lives 250 miles away.  Yay for Skype!  She chatted...

I think I may have A.D.D.  Maybe even A.D.H.D.  I really can't sit still so I instead flit all over the house constantly puttering, stra...

I was crafty today and made a couple of camera strap covers.  (I don't like anything that's plain.)  The first one I made is pretty ...

It's raining, the temperature is only in the 50s, and we're thrilled...except for the poor dog.  He doesn't like the rain.  He d...

Summer is halfway over and I just realized that I haven't even visited our local ice cream parlor yet.  They were voted to have the best...

It's been a busy couple of weeks, but ones full of some interesting stories.  Let's see... It's been HOT.  I mean really, real...

I LOVE Frankenmuth!  Maybe it's the quaintness of the little town.  Maybe it's the cleanliness of the little town.  Maybe it's t...

After ten years together, they still cuddle on the couch...and watch the Tigers together.  That makes me happy.

Cyrus doesn't know he's a dog.  When I turn the bed down for the night, he follows me and then oversees my task...like I'm his s...

It's 8:45 a.m. and it's already 86 outside.  That's hot.  No, make that Hot with a capital H.  No, make that HOT!!!  They're...

I can't stand a project left unfinished.  I'm impatient and I'm an immediate gratification kind of girl.  I like to admire the f...
