Picture of the week

by

Did you enter the contest? It's not closing until Sunday night, so you still have time! I've been too busy partying to do anything else. I am afraid this is not the last time I will be subjecting you to party pictures. We took a lot of pictures, you see. I'm just getting started. The making of the cake was a story in itself. I even took pictures. Let's just say I've been spending too much time here and leave it at that. ... Read more »

Picture of the Week

This was a little monkey we met at a sanctuary on a trip to Costa Rica back in 2008. By 'sanctuary', I mean 'two expats from the Bay Area who decided to call themselves a sanctuary so they could charge tourists to come to their house and pet monkeys.'

Grandma's house is as close as a dog can get to heaven on this earth. The yard is one big lush garden, full of bright beautiful flowers, inviting bees to annoy, and a pool for a refreshing dip.

Tech support has decided we need a Picture of the Week. My husband promises he will produce one, each and every week. I told him in no uncertain terms that this was a Big Commitment and made him swear on his camera honor that he would keep it up. "Well, you can contribute too," he said. "But I don't want to," I said. "This is your idea and my only good pictures are ones I got because I was lucky. I can't produce good photos under pressure." Then I told him this was a good way to force ... Read more »

Product Review: Kyjen toys

by

When I was given the opportunity to review a selection of dog toys from the Kyjen company, Brody shot me a look that said, "You'd better take this one, lady." Not that he isn't as spoiled as they come anyway, but I'll admit the majority of his playthings are the usual easily destroyed types that I get at the store. I was already interested after so many of you raved about the line when I was looking for suggestions for the Holiday Guide, so this was a no-brainer. They sent a large assortment ... Read more »
