Ahhh… Friday night. A perfect night for grilling bratwurst.

What made this grilling night different from any other grilling night?
The five inches of snow I’d just measured. (This is GREAT snowman making snow, by the way.)
Brats weren’t on the menu for tonight, but they were in the fridge. When we were on the back deck taking [...]

I’ve (and by “I’ve” I mean Ed has) completed moving my site.
It looks o.k. to us, but does it look o.k. to you?
Also, can someone kindly send me a comment to make sure that part of the blog isn’t not broken? And, if someone wanted to e-mail me, that could be GROOVY.
I’ve decided I NEVER [...]

I’m changing Web hosts over the next few days.
And by “I,” I mean Ed’s doing it.
Ed is the BEST!
Just sayin’.
So, if the site can’t be accessed or looks odd(er than usual), don’t worry. It’ll be back.
(And if you’ve not read the story about the dog Ed and I helped over the weekend, please do.)

This is Baby, a chow/golden retriever mix and one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met.

For about 19 hours yesterday and today, she was in our care.
Ed took our dogs for a walk about 7:45 yesterday evening. The dog followed Ed up onto the porch. She didn’t have a tag or collar. She was clearly [...]

It’s not all been salad that’s gotten my attention, don’t you worry. Ed tells me there was also a recipe for no-bake oatmeal chocolate peanut [...]

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve heard several people lament how early it’s getting dark these days. They’ve all said something along the lines of “I can’t wait for the first day of winter to get here, so it will start getting darker later.”
I had good news. In Atlanta, sunset starts getting later tomorrow, [...]

In November 2001, my friend Sarah and I visited a lady named Marlene Anderson. I visited her because she breeds Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, the breed I’d fallen in love with after looking through a book on dog breeds. I’d never met a Cavalier, however, and Marlene graciously allowed us to come visit her. I [...]

Today, I met Jennifer McKinney, better known in the blog world as MckMama, and her family, including her youngest son Stellan. Some would (will) wonder why I and dozens of other folks would go out in 45 degree weather — and in 45 degree RAINY weather, no less — to meet people “from the Internet.” [...]

If you don’t know Anissa, she’s a blogger who lives in the Atlanta area. She had a massive stroke on Tuesday and then another stroke at some point thereafter. Since then, lots and lots and lots of folks who hang out in her corner of the Internet have been rallying around her in various ways. [...]
