My amazing niece flying solo. I took this still* from a video of her getting ATC clearance, taking off, and flying. Solo. She’s not yet 20.

‘94 @ Sue’s in Limehouse w/ Annie. She’s gone now, but she was a true Eastender, born & died. As a little girl during the Blitz, she (along w/ loads of other kids) had been put on a train out of London. The train would make rural stops & local folks could come […]

Not a bad turnout for such a tiny town! I’m near the end of the video—I wore an inflatable green spaceman suit instead of my lobster. I didn’t last long (I got too hot &started getting unsteady on my feet), but it was awesome! #nokings

I have massive issues w/ #newsom, & I do NOT want him to be our President, but this made me literally laugh out loud. & that’s not easily done these days.
Funny AI generated meme that features a decorated blue pickup truck displaying numerous political stickers and flags. Flags include NEWSOM, California bear, and American flags. The truck promotes Gavin Newsom for President in 2024 with slogans like "GAVIN NEWSOM: OUR NEXT PRESIDENT”

I was at my desk, & I thought Teddi was sleeping on the floor next to me, but she was wide awake. Just a-starin’ at me. Upside down, just starin’. ❤️

Somebody ate a bee this morning.

Mr. Boots fed her a Benedryl right away, & she’s looking a lot better than she did a few hrs ago, but she’s still swollen, & I think it still hurts a bit. *sigh*

When I was a little kid, the only thing I ever wanted for my birthday was a tricycle. I never got one. This yr, on my 64th bday, my dream finally came true. Mr. Boots got me an electric trike.

I AM OVER THE FCKING MOON. 🥰

He’s making me get—and wear—a helmet, tho. 😒 #ziggythetrike #thecircleoflife

Somehow, my Mr. Boots air freshener ended up with a flower monocle.
iPhone photo of my air freshener (it’s made from a funny pic of my husband’s face) hanging from the rearview mirror of my car, there’s a white crocheted flower over his right eye, the background features an asphalt mountain road, desert, and open sky with white clouds.

Many (ahem) years ago today, Mr. Boots & I ran off to Vegas and got married at the Little Church Of The West. Happy Anniversary to us! #ilovehim ❤️

Timba found an abandoned baby mouse, & I am now a mouse mama. Apparently. If you need me, I’ll be putting a warm nest together for li’l Pip. #miceofmastodon

Today we lose our sweet li’l hairy snausage, Tia Marie. She’s the last of the Tiny OGs—the 3 Ts: Tibby, Tink, & Tia—& I don’t know what I’m going to do without her. My heart is breaking. I probably won’t be online for a while. #mysweetgirl #chiweeniesofmastodon #dogsofmastodon #loss
2015 iPhone photo of our 3 Tinydogs (all waiting for me by the Rainbow Bridge now), playfully positioned on a dog bed at doggy day care. Two are Chihuahuas, one tan and one light brown, and the third is a small black Chiweenie with white markings. The background features a textured wall and faux grass. iPhone photo of Mr. Boots wearing a yellow striped shirt, he’s seated in a white leather chair reading a book to a small black Chiweenie in his lap. She is contented and relaxed and happy. iPhone photo of our smiling little black Chiweenie back in 2016 when she was just beginning to show some grey on her face

This is Timba. She’s Belgian Malinois, Husky, & Shar Pei. She & her brother had survived parvo, but their mama hadn’t. I met her in a PetCo parking lot one Sat morning when I was just trying to go to Marshalls. Instead of buying flip-flops, I ended up adopting a […]

This is Teddi. She is part pibble, part German Shorthair, & part pug. When she’s super happy or excited, she gets Krazy Pug Eyes, & it is hilarious. She & I utterly adore one another, but I think she adores my son even more. If she had her way, she’d do nothing […]

iPhone photo of a medium sized liver brown dog with white markings sitting and being held still by my husband’s hands. She’s wearing a green elf hat with ears, and her eyes are big and round. She looks very silly. Colorful holiday decorations are visible in the background.
