Old Dogs and a ROW80 Check-in

Hi folks, 

This past week Charis managed something I have failed to do in the past ten years; get the dogs to pose for a portrait. So, I want to share this with all of you. These are the guys I'm always talking about. They're old now, but old dogs have a special energy that I love. Older dogs are a true gift. So, in order of age, here they are.

Sunny Day on Bell Island

Hi folks,

This week something unusual happened; we had a sunny day. tee hee Unable to resist, we went outside to enjoy it as did everybody else. Nobody enjoys a sunny spring day as much as a Newfoundlander. So, talk a walk around the island with me.

Growing Old?

Hi Folks,

It is a strange world and this week I got a real peek into how strange it can be. Really. It’s time for a few confessions.

Crazy Weather and Writing Madness

Hi folks, Happy Easter!

So here we are in the midst of the madness we call Spring. This past week we had three warm sunny days…in a row…Amazing. Aaaaand then it turned cold again and is snowing right now. Argh! Yup, that’s spring in Newfoundland. You can wear your sandals, but remember to carry your boots just in case.

Inspiration

Hi Folks,

It’s April and after five months of snow storms, it’s been nice to see the sun and feel a warm rain again. The snows are nearly gone and I can’t say I’m sorry to see them go. I actually got to wear my new spring jacket to town Thursday. Yep, cheap thrills. Tee hee

Speaking of thrills, check out Old Family Mansion. (shameless self promotion time)

Revitalized

Hi Folks,

Another week has passed and I am feeling like I might survive. This damned chest cold is still lingering at the edges of my existence and being somewhat annoying. However, this is not a snivel session; it is a good news session.

Feeling Mortal

Hi Folks,

Here I am again. We took advantage of a lull in the winter weather to make a grocery run to the city. It was a real treat because it wasn’t snowing, the boats were on schedule and we didn’t have to wait more than ten minutes to get loaded. The waters were calm and I had time to relax back and reflect.
