Nothing! Nothing is exactly what I accomplished this past week. Oh, I had plans, but between the weather (wind) and my grandson helper deciding to help his friends in Nebraska, I watched the week go by from my recliner. It's not often I can't find a reason to at least run errands in town, but this last week, nothing. Even the events on my social calendar were cancelled. I found time to take at least one nap every day. I watched Elaine work, drawing the last powerlines an

There's not much to write about today. I know I need to keep a close eye on Elaine today. This is the first Sunday, she cannot watch her favorite football players in the last six months. I'm really not sure how she is going to react to that. So far this morning she has been fine. As she does on all Sunday mornings, she got out of bed hooked up to the internet and read everything she could about "her" teams. It gets weird when instead of searching the television stations

If a person has pets, the lessons never stop coming. As a child, Elaine was never without dogs in her house. As a point of interest, when I met Elaine her family had four dogs, Schwartz, Lizzie, Liesel, and PJ. My family gave away the family dog when they moved to town from the farm. (I was four years old.) My parents lived dog free until I was in seventh grade when they brought Cherie home, a chocolate brown miniature poodle, with the personality of an alligator fighting

This is the city, Fort Collins, Colorado. Dum-di-dum-dum. It's 5:30 AM and my partner (Elaine) and I are cruising East-mid town in search of polyps. Dum-di-dum-dum. Elaine and I had been instructed to meet with a lady name Hallie on Lemay Ave. Dum-di dum-dum. Halllie was a young attractive lady in a nurse's outfit. Hallie asked me to recite my full name and birthdate before sharing information about polyps. Dum-di-dum-dum. Hallie ordered me to disrobe and put on the ap

I didn't get the week I felt I was promised this past week. I was prepared to get the cast taken off my foot. Didn't happen! Imagine my thoughts when the doctor said, "We can take the cast off, BUT, you might benefit by keeping it another week." I don't think the doctor even cared that I haven't been able to drive myself, and worse than that, I had to let Elaine drive every time I left the house. I would never accuse Elaine of being a bad driver, I don't think she has ever

The new year is off to a pretty good start. My doctor tells me I get my cast-off next Friday. I am looking forward to that day. For those of you thar are wondering, this cast (on my right foot) has sent me into depression. I didn't have a cast when I was a child. It wasn't that I didn't want one I just didn't need one. I waited until my senior years before I got my first cast. My senior cast is no way l like the casts my friends got in their childhoods. No one can sign

We made it. We got to the last week of 2025. There hasn't been much good for me/us in 2025. The weather has been super dry and windy this year. As a matter of fact, the weather man had predicted snow for last night, but we didn't get any[ snow. We did get wind, as I write the wind is blowing over 30MPH. I had my share of doctor's appointments. My primary care doctor decided to have at least one more child of his own. I have had so many appointments this past year my do

I am going to be thankful when the calendar switches to 2026. I spent two days and two nights, back in the hospital, fighting a disease I thought only my dad could get. Dad smoked most of his life. When he reached halfway into his golden years, he switched from cigarettes to nicotine gum. Unfortunately, for him he was very susceptible to every lung condition a smoker usually gets, even the ones he could not pronounce, like P-Nome-e-a. I was never a smoker. I never had co

Santa is too bust for a story today. See ya next week. God Bless, Love ya, Tis the Christmas season Our crazy lives! Monner

It was a quiet week at "Dream Believers Ranch". "Dream Believers Ranch" is what Elaine named our property a couple of decades ago. Maybe it was me, who can remember that far back. "Dream Believers Ranch" is written above the entrance to our driveway from the road. The point of naming the property, was Elaine and I had dreams about what we were going to do with our "new" home. Some of the dreams we accomplished before we moved into the house. Like residing the exterior of t
