    Xena

    Xena, the best dog a person could ask for crossed the rainbow bridge on 1 November 2022. Born 2 March 2007, she lived 15 years, 8 months full of love and joy. Rest well, run pain free, and I'll see you later baby girl. It's ok, baby.

    Fetch me a rocking chair sonny, I'm old

    My 12 year old daughter just came home from middle school chorus practice. She said, "We're singing 'Home Sweet Home' in chorus." When I queried her on the song, she gave me some of the lyrics. I started singing it and saw recognition on her face and she said, "Yes, that's it!" So, move...

    Remember the catapult?

    SyFy has been doing a marathon of disaster movies, all with a winter/snow theme. She loves this crap. The more of a "B" movie, the better. Right now, we're watching "Snowmageddon" and she's counting down the next hour until "The 12 Disasters of Christmas" starts. :rofl1:
