I just got new glasses and now the world is rather annoyingly up close and in focus.

I spent the morning in my jammies painting this 5x5" piece.
With all the chaos and cruelty, I needed pawsitive vibes and a reminder that there's still so much good in our world ~ most of it has 4 paws and a tail 💙🐾
Hope this makes you smile and brings a bit of light to the dark days 🌺

"You're saying things about me on the internet again, aren't you?"
Only nice things.
"You said I weigh 80 pounds now."
Well, you do.
"Keep fat shaming me, old man, and I'll post a picture of you."
Wow. OK, message received.

I’ve been living in my new Cowboyland house for two months now and still routinely flip the wrong light switch 100% of the time. The only reasonable explanation is that gremlins periodically change which switch controls whatever it is I want to turn on. 🤔

Somehow my heretical confirmed bachelor beliefs vis-á-vis ironing bedsheets, bed making and decorative pillows came up in a recent conversation with my mother. Long story short, I am fairly certain I’m about to be disinherited. 😲😬🫣

For today’s #ThrowbackThursday we go back to Christmas 2013 when Jack was compelled against his will to participate in Christmas photo activities at daycare without adequate treato compensation. I was told that shortly after the sitting pic he knocked over the set and stormed off like a diva. 🎄

For #ThrowbackThursday I offer this 📸 of Jack from our trip to the Mendocino coast in 2016. He has just seen a group of humans coming down the beach riding some enormous and interesting smelling dogs and he really wanted to run over and say hello.

Channeling a sitcom or maybe a Home Alone movie, I used one of these similarly packaged personal products on the incorrect body part last night. Fortunately for me, I did not brush my teeth with the foot cream. 😳😉
