Lil Nali gave us quite a scare, so much so that I flew home early from a work conference and spent a bunch of hours in her closet, so many, in fact, that I’m pretty sure I annoyed her and she got up and left her own safe space … whoops. I’m grateful it was…
Who rescued who? Denali was sick this week—and that turned me into a crazy hypochondriac mom who was certain she had cancer—but she is on the mend and healthy and I am so incredibly grateful. Despite her skittishness and other issues, she’s an incredibly easy dog. And she is SO full of personality … Grateful…
Though she loved the snow, lil’ Nali is finding plenty to love about the beach too … she is, after all, playing in the world’s greatest dog park.
“I took our picture on the highest point in North America. We were the first team of women ever to climb Denali.” I just found Arlene Blum’s pictorial story (via tomboystyle.com) of the historic ascent up the highest mountain in North America, Denali, the namesake of the GMC Yukon Denali, which is the namesake of my…

I mentioned in Feel Good Friday that I’m playing with a new-to-me DSLR Canon EOS 10D. I am LOVING learning this new skill! It makes me very happy to attempt to capture some of the beauty around me with something better than my iphone. Denali is the star of most of my pics, but that’s…
My dad is awesome. This is him with Denali, when she was just a puppy. He is funny. My family isn’t really a brunching family, except when it comes to people’s birthdays, holidays, or relatives in town … erm, so maybe we are? Dad loves Waterloo Icehouse’s brunch, but then again, he’s never tried TRACE…
I am pleased to note that I am breaking habits … like the habit where you get back in from something (skiing, walking, shopping, running errands, whatever) and feel like it’s time for a snack. Am I really hungry? I don’t know, it’s just snack time! Thanks, after-school snacks, for ingraining that in my brain.…
Army Wives is my secret must-watch-TV. One of the story lines involved a dog called Lucky that saved some of the soldiers lives by barking out a bomb. So the soldiers try to get him home, and he ends up making back to the base in the United States. Google as I might, I could…
