Northern Flicker

This Northern Flicker has become a frequent visitor to our Lucite bird feeder which is suction cupped to the outside of our dining room window. He has recently discovered he fits INSIDE and has come to think of this as his home.

Doggie Seizures

Gosh, there have been few things in my life more terrifying than witnessing our sweet Golden Retriever, Chloe, having a Grand Mal seizure. Last night was her 3rd one since we adopted her, last December. Unfortunately, her vet records show past seizures so we are deeply saddened that her previous owners weren't completely honest with us. However, we love Chloe like crazy and plan to do everything we can to improve her life and her health. We couldn't be happier with an outstanding veterinarian and a wonderful emergency veterinarian hospital nearby.

I have added a scrolling slideshow of my latest jewelry creations. The first few photos are of beaded bobby pins. Click an item to see it 'full size'. Enjoy.

Who knew? My brother is coming home to visit for a weekend with his girlfriend Jacqui. We couldn't be more excited! :) Unfortunately, Toggle (the worlds BEST dog) will be left behind in AZ - presumably in the care of friends/neighbors.
