last week we decided to watch an episode of Dr. Who; we’d watched one maybe a year ago because kevin used to watch the old Dr. who. so let me just say that NOW WE ARE TOTAL ADDICTS. last week mollie had a vet appointment, a regular checkup. it was for 2:15. We...

well, first of all, kevin was on the news YET AGAIN, but i didn’t put it up yet because, as previously mentioned, i’m VERY VERY BAD. so here it is – not quite as exciting, in my opinion, as the fencing video because kevin wasn’t the sole focus...

i can’t really give you any explanation at all why it’s been so long since i’ve written on here. i have had some free time, but just haven’t…written anything. so, all i can say is, BAD BAD BAD! one day last week randy called to say...

last night we were watching the first “mission impossible” movie which seemed rather dated – tom cruis dangling from a wire was fumbling around inserting a FLOPPY DISC into a computer – and mollie was acting really lethargic. we thought it was...

whew. dad isn’t in the hospital anymore, which is good, because he HATE HATE HATED it there. he only stayed two nights, but on the day they told him he could leave he was SO READY TO GET THE HELL OUT that if he’d had the strength, he’d have just...

dad was admitted to the hospital yesterday; severe breathing problems. most of my day was spent there, in that chilly, frenetic place. as time went on, the pace slowed down. by the time we left last night at 10, it was pretty quiet. still chilly, though, except in...

last night erica, mollie and i went for a boat ride. we set out about, i don’t know, maybe 8:00, and it was very lovely out there on the water and we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. well, mollie of course would have been happier if we’d brought some...

right now i’ve had a little bit of free time to sit in the air-c0nditioning and look at my computer, and i was dismayed to see that my site continues to fall apart. i haven’t had an RSS feed forever, and now it doesn’t seem that my videos are here,...

lester LOVES randy. whenever randy comes to visit, he plays vigorously with les, who LOVES that. les starts tearing all around the place like a maniac. this morning was a birthday breakfast at IHOP, with all three of the dunham boys. randy got some fine gifts, plus...

she stopped by last night, to jump in the lake, and recounted some of her tale of her very, very long walk. at one point she got chased by angry cows along the way, and one day she got lost for an hour and a half. the path wasn’t a road or a very well-marked...

ok, i know i say that a lot about lester, and luckily chester and winnie don’t know that i say that, so DON’T TELL THEM. but last night i went into the bedroom and les was sitting there on the bed and i had to rush to get my phone to take photos, plus we...

when mollie wakes up in the morning, she doesn’t look in the mirror and think, “what kind of mayhem can i cause today?” for one thing, i’ve never even seen her look in the mirror. she’s just a dog, doing doggie things. she just is. a...
