Happy Father’s Day

June 16, 2024 Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there!

Lady Bug and a Wasp

June 14, 2024 I was walking Nox on the dog walk at the bottom of the ridge at Dakota Ridge RV Park. I took some pictures of flowers blooming along the path. I felt something crawling on my the back of my neck. I quickly knocked it off and looked to see what it was. […]

Nox’s Day in Pictures

June 8, 2024 Nox loves to look around the edge of the steps into the kitchen when Bruce is doing something in the kitchen. When she is feeling good, she loves to climb up the ridge and stop along the way to sniff the area. Nox can no longer walk the entire trail, so she […]

Time at Jekyll Island, Georgia

June 3, 2024 While we were at Jekyll Island (May 1 to May 15), all of my father-in-law’s children and spouses came for his 90th birthday. Almost all of his grandchildren (just one couldn’t make it) made it and all of the great-grandchildren made it. Nox was delighted to see our daughter. My daughter misses […]

The Trip to Jekyll Island, Georgia

June 2, 3024 On May 1 (Wednesday), we hitched up the RV to the truck and pulled out of Lake Tobesofkee Claystone Park. We took a state highway through Macon, Georgia to get to I-16. At Montrose, Georgia, the sides of the road turned swampy. I noticed native Southern Blue Flag Iris blooming in large […]

Nox Haircut

June 1, 2024 On April 29, we decided it was warm enough to trim Nox’s fur for her summer haircut. After the trim, I gave Nox a bath in our shower. She patiently put up with all that. I carried her outside and told her to shake. We trained Nox to shake all over instead […]

And Finally, the Reason We Went to Arkansas, the Total Eclipse of the Sun

April 26, 2024 The day before the solar eclipse (April 7), Bruce and I checked the weather forecast and decided that Hot Springs, Arkansas was still a good place to try to see the total solar eclipse. On Monday (April 8), we got up at 4:00 AM to drive to Hot Springs. We wanted to […]

Getting Information about the Solar Eclipse at Arkansas Welcome Center

April 21, 2024 On April 3 (Wednesday), we walked from the RV park to the Chicot Coffee & Cafe across from the Lake Village Arkansas Welcome Center. We had breakfast sandwiches; I had camomile tea while Bruce had a cup of coffee. The patio outback faces Lake Chicot. It has a pretty mural painted on […]

Really, Mom!

March 20, 2024 Nox’s paw is much better. It still hasn’t healed completely. I took this series of pictures.

Nox Paw Update

March 11, 2024 Nox’s paw is still not fully healed, but we can clearly see improvement. She is now able to walk comfortably on her foot. Nox is no longer desperate to lick her foot and can go without the cone of shame or a bandage while we are around. We are still putting the […]
