    Ducklady, I hope the duck will get better. Our family had a duck when I was a teenager. I could tell some stories about him. He was quite a character! I think he thought he was a dog (I hear they get imprinted, though he was not a hatchling when we got him -- but he was still yellow and fuzzy)...

    Do you remember Corky, of the many portraits I drew? Deb, his owner, just emailed me to say he died last week, and today, she put another old horse, Gift, down. What a rough week! I'm particularly saddened about Corky, since he was a good guy, one Deb suggested I might ride now, though I...

    We've had rain here for the last week or so. You didn't get any of that, Awsum? I thought you would. Lizzie, I think drums may make rain come. At least that was the thought at a Rainbow Gathering I went to. It was mid-July, a dry season hereabouts, but they sat up all night drumming, and it...

    Thanks, Uncle. Both videos were great! I know the music from the 2nd one: from the opera Carmen by Bizet.

    Can't you drive a stake through a vampire's heart to kill it? That's what I thought I heard.

    When I tutored today, the girl asked about vampire bats. She said her brother told her they were in the school basement. I told her there might be bats, but vampire bats live in South America, and the kind around here eat insects, so they are helpful. Then I asked her if she wanted to read about...

    Today, I went to the barn where I boarded Penny when she died, and where she's buried. We planted a tulip tree over her grave as a marker. The boy who owns Jasmine was in school, but his dad was there, and we talked. They want me to come groom Jasmine and maybe help the dad with horsemanship...

    Today was a big milestone: I tutored the youngest boy with no help from his sister. She suggested that she might not be needed, and I agreed to try it. It worked! I used lots of hand signals and such, but he understood what I wanted. I think his understanding is maybe like 2-year-old, and he's...

    Awsum, I think hospitals differ in their care. I was in the hospital, Cayuga Medical Center, for first pneumonia, then a couple years later for surgery on my broken arm, and the care was excellent. Sometimes it took a couple of rings on the call button to get someone, but they did answer. It was...

    What kind of air mattress? I've found they get leaks and I can never find them to patch them. I should probably get a better quality one, but I want to know what works before I spend a lot. I'd like to have one I could inflate for guests, then deflate to put away. Would that work with yours?

    Today, when I went to tutor the kids, it was the youngest's 5th b'day. When I arrived, they were having cake, and their grandmother insisted I have some, plus light the candles, and I chose to sing happy birthday, then instruct them on making a wish and blowing out the candles, though the older...

    Hey, Terry. Touching frogs isn't so bad. Did you know if you turn one over and rub his belly, he goes to sleep?

    I went to a local barn today where they were having a tack sale. I had some horse stuff for sale there, and I think some things sold. I took my camera along & photographed some scenery.

    I tutored today. One problem I've been having, which I may have mentioned before, is that the kids don't read the directions on their worksheets. I've been trying to pound it into their heads. This is important. I remember when I was raising my own daughter that I read a Dr. Spock book that said...
