    Never Ever Did I Think..

    April 5, 2021 /

    Although we are usually very active, Biscuit and I have lately become, well.... lazy. We don't really do much except eat popcorn, and watch reruns of Law and Order, Law and Order Special Victims Unit and any other crime show that we can find. Fortunately though, we recently had an epiphany, came to our senses and decided that we needed a project. So, following a time honored tradition, we chose to do some Spring cleaning. Biscuit thought it might be a good time to shake off some cob webs, and because we are still under the thumb of COVID there isn't much else to do anyway.

    You’re Never Too Young…

    March 22, 2021 /

    It was a dark and stormy night....no, wait, it was actually a beautiful pre covid sunny summer afternoon and Biscuit and I were out for a walk. At her request we made a point of walking past her favorite park when suddenly in the distance we spotted a group of elderly people doing what appeared to be some form of exercise. We decided to check it out from afar because Biscuit did not want people to think we were being nosey. We watched for a few moments, and then Biscuit asked me what I thought this was all about. I told her I thought it was Tai Chi. It was…

    Destination Unknown

    March 1, 2021 /

    Hi folks, Biscuit here. Just wanted to remind you that a dog's life can be pretty boring. You know, the usual: wake up, wander around the house, eat breakfast, have a nap, wander some more, have a nap...you get the picture. Every once in a while though, my humans pull a fast one on me, and break up my well established routine. Let me tell you, it can be pretty traumatic.

    Biscuit Barks Back!

    November 30, 2020 /

    "Hey everyone, its me Biscuit. Whats up?" I thought I'd take this chance to get in my two cents worth and offer a few observations on living with my adopted room mates. The big tall guy is named Keith and the little redhead is Mag (aka Little Sis)....at least those are the two words that keep coming up and I finally figured out the connection. They treat me pretty well but I do have a few things I'd like to get off my chest. So buckle up and lets go!

    It’s Not Easy Being Red

    November 9, 2020 /

    I was a happy go lucky little girl, not a care in the world. In spite of the fact that Mom had an aversion to stylish hair cuts and a preference for odd shaped glasses, life was good. Almost all of my siblings ( Middle Sis being the exception) had red hair too, so I fit right in. These were my people! It wasn't until I started school that I realized I had red hair and I was different than the other kids. Suddenly, I was a redhead in a sea of blondes and brunettes and my world turned upside down in a heartbeat! This is the story of my…

    Little Sis Lets Loose

    October 5, 2020 /

    Once we are allowed to start travelling again, The Sisterhood will start walking again. Being the optimist that I am and in preparation for that next big 5K walk, I bravely decided to go back to the gym. The first thing I noticed was not how out of shape I was, but the lack of common courtesy displayed by fellow gym members, which is the inspiration for this post.

    I am sitting in a bar (as usual) in Cave Creek, Arizona. With me is my husband, Big Sis, and my brother in law. Unfortunately, Middle Sis could not make the trip. She is however with us in a likeness on a cardboard stick...the best we could do on short notice. :-) I think she is really enjoying herself.

    “Bettybucks”

    March 30, 2020 /

    Are you wondering what the heck Bettybucks is? As you have probably guessed, it has to do with coffee. Getting a coffee was the highlight of Mom's day. She loved to dawdle along to her local coffee shop, rain or shine, (stopping to pet dogs, speak with strangers and marvel at babies) and over time we referred to her destination as Bettybucks....aka Starbucks...

As kids growing up we always looked forward to rec As kids growing up we always looked forward to receiving a cracker box full of grandma’s shortbread cookies at Christmas.

This Christmas Middle Sis was feeling nostalgic and decided to try making shortbread using grandma’s recipe. After an unsuccessful hunt for grandma’s original recipe, Big Sis found this version created from grandma’s recipe.

Determined to have this be the year of shortbread success, Middle Sis followed the recipe to a”t” and managed to turn out a few dozen cookies that she thinks grandma would approve of.

Well, there is a fascinating story behind this picture. You see she recently had bunion surgery on her left foot and although it was scary and painful, it was well worth the suffering and agony.

She is now able to wear a variety of”normal” shoes,
(refer to the above picture) and shopping for even more normal shoes has become a regular activity. So much fun!! The excitement is real😉.
