Time moves on...

This is a picture of an older Virginia Beach house that was converted to a pet spa and then torn down about 5 years ago.  The longer I live in Virginia Beach the more I see all the quaint landmarks disappear.  It's sad because without local charm VB is not any different from any other metro city.  So much for "resort" destination. 

 Happy 2022!

Dog Love

This is my niece's dog Hula Hoop.  She is a very BIG girl.  As she's gotten older, so have I.  I don't mind so much that she uses my couch as a dog bed.  Us old girls understand each other.  I love her and she's always happy to see me. 

An Ordinary Day

There is something sacred about an ordinary day. I've said that many times and will say it many more. What is an ordinary day for me? Everyone I know is healthy. The sun is shining and the garden is alive with colorful flowers. I sip coffee while I work the newspaper's crossword puzzle.  After my morning part-time job I drive to the grocery store and buy good food for dinner. American Ninja Warrior is on TV tonight. I have a lamp to see by when I read in the evenings. I go to sleep in a bed with clean sheets. 

An ordinary day.  Isn't it wonderful?
