So Wednesday morning early I heard a knock on the door and when I opened it, there was the water man. He gave me a piece of paper and said the water would be turned off for a half an hour today and from 9:30 until 1:00 I think, on Thursday. I thanked him, shut…

Did I jinx myself?
So I may have jinxed myself after talking about how great Tiara has been doing this past week. Last night she was breathing funny during the night and kept tearing off her oxygen. I must have gotten up 4 times to put it back on, check her oxygen level and then feel her chest. She…
A day of pictures….
Today I am going to share some photos as requested by some of my readers. Pictures of my roses, the finished patio and from Trinity’s birthday party. Before I start sharing the photos I just want to give you a small update of Tiara since she has been home. She slept great and was thrilled…
Home is where the heart is…
Happy Monday everyone! Tiara is still here at Choc but she seems to be feeling better. We realized she was allergic to the antibiotic that was treating her 3 infections because her mouth broke out in cold sores. I knew it might happen and was on the look out for any allergic signs because it…
Things are going downhill fast!
Yesterday I decided to start a huge project and now I am shooting myself in the leg for starting such a large endeavor. I was out in the backyard attempting to make my neglected yard look decent by weeding the beds and the area between the cement. When we bought this house over 10 years…
Do you invite solicitors into your home? I did last night…
Most everyone hates door to door solicitors but I generally feel bad for them, so I always open the door for them. In the past, our dog would go so crazy barking and jumping on the glass, I was always fearful he was going to bite the solicitor. I think they feared for their lives…
Life after Bailey’s passing…
Since last Wednesday, it seems as if a lot has changed in our lives. Thursday we all woke up feeling the loss of our dog and I wasn’t quite sure how to help Tabitha through her grieving. She finally made it to work and I decided that I needed to clean out her room because…
Welcome to the Goff House…
I can’t tell you how great it feels to be home with Tiara. We finally got released from the hospital on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and when we drove up to the house, I could see from the driveway that something was posted on our front door. “What the heck is that?” I thought to…
And once again, it’s time for the Christmas Card!
Just so you understand me, I LOVE CHRISTMAS CARDS. I love to send them and receive them. Like many things in my life, before the recession, our Christmas card was a rather large production. First I needed to get a professional photograph taken, then I needed to find the coolest most original card…
Let’s decorate for Christmas, tips and tricks…
I love decorating for Christmas! Every year the day after Thanksgiving, I go into the attic and pull down the decorations. This year Lou and Tab were both at work and Tiara was exhausted from Thanksgiving, so Trinity and I worked together while Tiara clapped and cheered. As we started I was happier than usual…
