Vultures & Cranes & Babies, Oh My!

I have had a rather chaotic week. First, I was living like all the single ladies last Monday to Wednesday as Norm was away in Johannesburg. He had booked the doggy day care to take Finn all day so he was occupied all day and exhausted at night. I still had 4 beasties which I …

Seeing Yourself Amplified

As much as I loved being down in the Garden Route with my SIL, daughter and granddaughter for a month, it is a long time to be away from my home, my pets and my husband. I cannot remember when Norm and I were apart this long. Norm flew down on Monday and then we …
