Getting back up – dusting myself off …
After last week’s huge mental blow, DH and I are starting to correct the insurance situation. I’ve reached out to my employer’s HR, but don’t hold much hope for assistance. In the meantime, I’m cooking like a fiend. And making cards. And making desserts. Apparently keeping busy is helping me … So, we’ve tried a …
Back on Track …
We struggled in the nursery for a bit, as our Gina had her pups on Friday. Juggling the needs of the babies, new Moms, the rest of our four-legged crew and dinners … Whew! As we watch the newborns 24/7, DH and I flip to our best schedules – he takes the day watch and …
Busy … But with Downtime
We’ve had a busy week … welcoming pups on Tuesday. Our Georgie is doing a great job as a first time Mom, but we’re staying close to keep an eye on all. So – I’ve had plenty of time to work on cards – stamping, masking, die-cutting, coloring … And(!) – I organized my growing …
Birthdays, Card Making & EPIC
Wrapped up all of my mandatory nurse classes last week, YAY! Got through the weekend shifts, and heard such bizarre complaints, I can’t even mention them… My goodness, but folks are losing coping skills by the bucket-loads! Moving on … On Tuesday, DH and I made nachos, making the chips (cut tortillas) in the air …

Yep – I’ve been a mildly progressive BUM this week! I was helping DH with our pups, moving along stamp identification, making glass, cooking – oh, and catching the last rays of summer sunshine! [While Monday was cooler temps – so far we’re 5/5 days in the pool and I hope to add one more …
Late to the Party …
In an effort to try to organize my growing stamp collection, I stumbled on a program … Yep – I understand it’s been around for a long time … Evernote (a free organizing app). So, while I’m watching over my moms and pups, I’m entering lots and lots of data. I’ve plowed through 2 baskets …
Updates …
I have managed to misplace my creative mojo again. But – there have been a few other things keeping us occupied lately … We’ve had puppies (again)! Our Josie had her first litter, so we’ve added four big, beautiful blue babies to our nursery. Josie is doing an awesome job loving, feeding and caring for …
A Lot to Report …
OK – running through the list since my last post. Last week was wonderful, with pool days every day! Got through a steady ER-nursing weekend, with a bit of a twist. Our youngest daughter came up to see me and inform she was heading back to Ghana for a ‘short visit’ (3 wks). She left …
Ro-Bo Babies???
Oh my gosh – I hope so … DH and Rotunda have been on an adventure all week, with Ro getting her progesterone level tested . Today, Ro met her man – Bodacious. So, if all is successful, we’ll be having some RoBo babies!!! GAAHHH! [Fingers Crossed!) Meanwhile, I’ve been pup-sitting and keeping our clan warm …
Staying Busy …
Tubby’s babies are growing, growing and GROWING! Here’s a quick photo of a couple of her boys … Look who’s peeking! I’m still scratching out time to work in the studio – keeping stock up, filling orders, uploading shop listings: And, I’m still knitting … Only one pair done this week (so 2 more …
