I just realized that I haven’t updated y’all about Miz Jazz’s progress. She’s doing pretty good! The vet decided that the best course of action was to start with her teeth. She extracted four teeth – leaving her with only four teeth including two fangs. Jazz had broken two teeth and two teeth were badly…

From my church newsletter, a very good idea! If you know any woman currently undergoing cancer treatment, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning – once per month for 4 months while she is in treatment. All she has to do is sign up and have…

First, a Miz Jazz report. I forgot about her possible hyperthyroidism. The vet probably missed it when she was talking to us. It may be a good thing in a way because it would keep her appetite up. The fluids absolutely definitely help and I’m glad that Sandy was talked into it. He was basing…

Miss Jazz saw Dr. Hunt this morning. We both needed to be reassured that it was time to let her go. She didn’t seem ready to die. We asked Dr. Hunt to tell us why we needed to do it again. Dr. Hunt said that she remembered seeing her when she was last in (she…

Angst alert – there will be much of it in today’s post. I just fired up another pot of coffee. Sandy scheduled an appointment at the vet for Miss Jazz’s euthanasia at 10:30 this morning. It is now 8:00. Yesterday and the night before I moaned and cried because I was so sure of the…

Journalfest was, as expected, another awesome experience. I flew to Seattle and took a shuttle bus over to Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, Washington. The town itself is beautiful and if I did nothing but walk its beaches and explore its shops and restaurants for a week, I’m sure that I would have…

Just fired up my second little pot of coffee. I have a lot of blogging that I want to do! First I need to sweep out the cobwebs of my brain, and that means it is coffee pot post time. Lots of stuff happened this past week. I’ll address Journalfest in a different post. I…

Ugh. I will not address yesterday, at all. I’m going to plant my head firmly in the sand and pray silently. I do plan to blog my Journalfest trip. Yes, I know that I said that about Charleston and then I didn’t. Who knows, I might do both. I mainly took a lot of nature…

I thought I’d share photos of my last two books with you before I go. I’ll be offline until Monday. I’m sure that I’ll have lots of photos when I get back, but somehow I doubt that I can top the photos I took of that sunrise last year. This book began with a discarded…
