This And That
Sometimes You Just Need to Ramble I know it’s been less than a week but I still miss my Sissy so much. Every time I would come home, I would see her face peering through the curtains in the living room. You could see that she recognized me as I pulled up and suddenly she …
My Dog Has Died
My Heart Is Broken My female dalmatian, Sissy, has passed away. My daughter called me yesterday at work to tell me that she didn’t think Sissy was doing well and I should come home and take her to the vets. I raced home and got her to walk to the car and even into the …
My Dog is Sick
Dogs Can Get More Than Just Lyme Disease From Ticks My female dalmatian, Sissy, is very sick. She’s been acting strangely for a while, moving slower than normal and just being less energetic. Heather noticed that she wasn’t eating much. She had gone 24 hours without a bowel movement and while I was walking her, …
Reynolds Wrap Corporation – How Could Ye?
Reynolds Discontinues the Amazing Handi-Vac Food Storage System! I have one question beyond the obvious “Why?” and that is: Where are the protesters wrapped in aluminum foil? Where are the supermarket sit ins? Where are the throngs of angry crowds in the streets tossing their freezer burned steaks at the police? Where are the homemakers …
Iced Coffee from PomWonderful

I’m Still Alive
And So Is This Blog! So I know it’s been a while since my last post, but this is not totally unexpected. My play, Village Playbox’s production of And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, opened this weekend and I had rehearsals from Sunday through Thursday, then shows on Friday and Saturday. Whew, it …
Painted Cottage Cafe – Best Brunch in South Jersey
The Best Brunch in the Tri-State Area is Located in Collingswood, NJ The Painted Cottage Cafe, in Collingswood, NJ, has the best brunch in the area, hands down. I’ve blogged about it before (read about it here) and it’s still just as good. My mother’s birthday is today. She’s 72. It’s been 3 1/2 weeks …
And Then There Were None
Village Playbox’s Production of Agathy Christie Hit Opens Sept 4th In case you have been wondering what has been causing me to ignore my blog, I’ve been busy rehearsing almost every night! It’s a lot of fun but it is a lot of work, too, and I am afraid that old “blue skies” has been …
Life is Like a Box of Chocolates
You Never Know What’s Inside Until You’ve Squished Them I know that yesterday’s post was kind of a downer, but I was feeling down and that’s the way it goes sometimes. With everything else going on, I had an appointment with my counselor yesterday at 5:00. Yes, I am seeing a counselor. It’s no biggie. …
