Wilson met his doppleganger

 

We went to the new dog park in town and there was a puppy there who looked exactly like Wilson. How strange! Except for size they could have been twins. Check out the photo I snapped with my cell phone. The bigger one is Wils. The puppy barked like a terror at Wilson, who'd had enough after about 10 minutes and was ready to be done with the maddening little bugger. By then, another couple of beagles had shown up to distract him.

When politics become personal

Here's what I think:
I think America is truly the land of the free. I think that just the fact that we're freely able to send crappy political ranty emails to each other is great. We hold no fears that heavy-booted thugs from the government will crash in our doors in the dead of night and haul a member of our family away because they dared speak against the leader of the land. I love that.

But here's the thing. When politics becomes personal, when you start pointing your finger and saying "you..." at the beginning of hate-filled diatribes, expect me to get off the party bus. If you've pointed at a member of my family just before you decided to call him out as "a death-mongerer" for voting Republican, well, buckle up, kiddies, cause we're going for a ride.

Happy Mothers Day!

I love being a mother. I resisted being a mom for a very long time. I didn't want to be anyone's snot-wiper! Who'd want to sign up voluntarily for that job? Except hormones have a funny way of making sure the human race lives on. They start working on your brain when you reach about 25. Children become cute, instead of just obnoxious and loud. So, children of mine, thanks for making me a Mom. I wouldn't have it any other way.

The hippie abides.

My eldest child is home from college. I know, because although I have only laid eyes on her for about 20 minutes, this was in the shower

and this was on the counter

Yep. She's home.
