This is a collection of my thoughts, questions, ideas and what I have seen. These are my opinions and experiences.

Yesterday we had a surprise visitor, a young lady from Animal Services. Now since the pandemic started we haven’t received many visitors. For some reason we didn’t think we were going to break out the sweet tea and cookies. She was very polite and asks to talk to the dog owner, how does someone own... Continue Reading →
The weather app indicated we had about an hour before rain might start and only 60% chance. Since we hadn't seen much rain in the last couple of months, we felt good that the odds were in our favor.
