Splish, Splash

I try to keep my columns funny and light. No politics, no religion, no health issues. Unless one gets really funny; then I laugh at hard times right in the face. So here we go and it’s going to be rehab of a ride. 
My Future Husband has been going through enough health problems of late for me to write a book entitled, “REHAB. This Book can be Used as a Weapon.” But that’s another story, er, book. ​

Will Carver and Butch Cassidy's Hole in the Wall Gang

The View From Dry Creek Hill

A cat took refuge from the bitter cold this February and became my office cat. She’s sitting on the windowsill watching the deer and the birds this morning. The windows are open and we’re both enjoying the air and the view. If either one of us sneezes or coughs it’s only the pollen reminding us how nature works. I’m OK with that, and the cat doesn’t seem to care either.
