I looked forward all day yesterday to coming home from work and not walking out of the door again that night except to take out the pooch. The Major asked if I wanted to go for a walk or hit some tennis balls, and my answer was a big fat NO. Instead, I was relaxed [...]

We suspect that Webster has arthritis! He’s been walking around favoring his back left leg for weeks. And the latest notice from the vet came in last week informing us that we need to bring him in for his first “geriatric” appointment. How could this be??

Could it be?…No, no way…It couldn’t be…CHRISTMAS SPIRIT?? Those of you who know me well know that I would prefer a period of hibernation from Nov. 1 – Jan. 1 of every year. Which is why the chance to work in South Africa during this EXACT time period seemed like a gift from God. Spa [...]

One of the great things about being here in South Africa is that I for once have the time to do the things I love the most without worrying that I need to be doing something else. Case in point for this blog entry: reading. I used to devour books, one or more every week. [...]

On May 29, 2009, I turned 27. I’ve always been a big birthday person, but this was different. I had been waiting for my 27th year for as long as I had been able to comprehend the thought of ever being 27. I can’t explain why, it just seemed like a magic number. Not close [...]
