@Shades-of-Oregon , as a former owner of a Pug, that one has special appeal. Dad would smoke a pipe, late in his tobacco use years. (As did I, trying to cut down on the nicotine 🙄 .) He had one pipe that he didn’t want and gave it to Chrissy. She seemed to like to just sit around and hold it in...

The Weather Service is reporting 5 inches of snow fell tonight. Travel is disrupted with interstate highways closed for several hours. Idaho into Montana is being hit hard right now. I was out shoveling the walk from the front door and the sidewalk from 10:30 to 11:30, trying to get a jump on...

As a kid, I didn't live where there were sidewalks. There was an indoor place about 5 miles away in Ashland where we could rent skates. I bet Mom was happy that it wasn't any closer ;). Melanie's came a little late for me LINK but I can remember enjoying skating and whatever was playing over...
