Roasted Beets

From my childhood, I recall loving picked beets. I was always fascinated how bright red the vinegar turned from the beets. 1 large beet or 2 small beets makes a good serving for one person

Southwestern Succotash

As a child, I hated butterbeans or lima beans with a passion; as an adult, I find I still can not stand them. As such, I never liked succotash, until I had it at a restaurant in Colorado. They didn’t use the dreaded butterbeans or lima beans and it was a wonderful dish. This my […]

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

Mile High United Way Day of Caring

August 28, 2020 The company I work for allows us two days for volunteering at non-profits or schools. I took advantage of a 1/2 day of volunteering time off (VTO) to sign up to help the Wild Bear Nature Center on the Mile High United Way Day of Caring. I thought it would be fun […]

More Preparing

August 20, 2020 As I write this, my throat is tight, my nose is running, and my eyes are leaking tears. We took my sweet little Luna to vet one last time today. I will remember the joy and delight she showed as she raced around the yard, when she played with her balls, and […]

One More Med for Luna

August 18, 2920 If you read my post, Last Days for Luna?, you know that Luna is struggling. The vet wants to try giving her one more medication to increase her appetite. Luna did decide to eat some chicken last night. She didn’t eat a lot, but she does seem to feel a little better […]

Pictures from a Friend

August 17, 2020 One of my friends from work took a couple of stunning pictures and she agreed to let me share them. The fire in Colorado is providing spectacular sunrises and sunsets.

Last Days for Luna?

August 17, 2020 On Saturday, Luna was eating and seeming pretty much herself. On Sunday, she refused to eat anything except her favorite treat. This morning, she refused to eat anything, even her favorite treat. On Sunday, she started to really stumble around when she tried to walk. She has also started to just fall […]
