Death Valley – Part I
Hello there.
Today’s post is part one of a two part series of pics of our trip to Death Valley, CA. This wasn’t really a planned trip or a huge amount of fun. It was more of a healing, getting away from the world after our beloved Chase died, kind of trip. Either way, we did [...]

Checking in
Hi all,
As you know it’s been a rough couple weeks for us here because of the loss of our dog Chase. We had to put him to sleep on Thursday because he was starting to go downhill pretty quickly because of both his skin cancer, and his age (almost 16!). It was the hardest thing [...]

Desolation
Badwater Basin, Death Valley. Badwater Basin is the lowest point in North America. It’s 282 feet below sea level and the ground is a huge salt flat. So desolate out there.

Creepy Tree Close to Home
I have been wanting to take a picture of this tree for years. It’s very close to my house but I never had a good opportunity until yesterday. The sun was setting so the tree was in shadow but there was just enough light to get it. Pretty cool!

Boots Cuticle Oil
One of my favorite cuticle oils is this one from Boots, which I got at Target. I love the old fashioned looking bottle and the eye dropper applicator inside. Also it’s smells faintly of roses, which is nice!

Old Fence
Yesterday we went to a place called Black Diamond Mine which is in Antioch, CA. It’s an old coal mine from the 1860’s, and still has a very old cemetery and deserted buildings on the property. Very cool, it’s like an old ghost town. This is a pic of one of the old fences in [...]

With Love from Paris
No, I didn’t get this in Paris. I actually got this at my local craft shop, Michael’s for a couple bucks! I have yet to find a chain I want to hang it on though, but it’s cute right?

Stairs to…
I’ll admit, I didn’t actually climb these stairs at Black Diamond Mine to see what was there because I was already tired from walking up a hill. And no it wasn’t a mountain-like hill, it was an ant-sized hill. This is how out of shape I am, but I digress. Anyway, N___. says there was [...]

Crazy Monkey
I call Chewy my crazy monkey because he climbs on everything he can. Here he is above my head on my desk, knocking things down and trying to chew on those dried out rose buds.

Sitting Pretty
Yep, typical Sammy. He squeezes his “rubenesque” figure into this tiny corner by my computer. Then when I reach for my mouse, he rubs his face all over my hand rendering it impossible to use.
