in TN I just saw that you were wondering too-so kind of you. I loved the story of your St. Bernard who doesn’t do sriats (no Downward-facing Dog yoga poses for him, huh?)and the beautiful Arab saying you shared today. I pray you will make it through the stormy night safe and sound, and all the animals too. BTW did you see my little note to you yesterday? I commented: You’re making progress so fast! Like Z barreling down the stretch! Way to go!Looking forward to the next installment of Rescue at River Edge Farm.@Nancy I hope you’ll be able to tell us soon that all your loved ones are safe.@Valeria Cannon Prayers for you too to make it through the storm unscathed. Please post as soon as you can.

I’ve heard that Denver had some sweet thrift shops! Maybe next time we get out there, we’ll stop by and get some goodies. Anything is less picked over than SF for thrift stores. Le sigh!

I’ve never been to Boulder, but I have to say, Denver has some of the best vintage/thrift shops I’ve ever been to. So much less picked over than here in SF!

Someone on Instagram said I should use the computer disks as coasters. Too funny!

Yeah, I kinda love that shot of my Dad. The Peach used to go down to his office thinking it was a post office and “mail” her drawings. So. Stinking. Cute.

Lish! I have to laugh because it is so my Mom and I’m delighted to see that she’s not alone in the old towel on the should trick. I myself prefer an apron, but I won’t change my Mom’s dishtowel on the shoulder technique for anything!

Yet, another reason to come visit you!

Jody–I think it was the awe and newness of the whole thing that worked in my favor with Miss Peach’s first airplane trip. But also, the flight wasn’t that long–it was just under three hours, which is perfect for kids. I don’t know how Eliza survives her coast to coast flights!
