Idle and indolent

Ha! Hardly. My mother-in-law has been visiting us for the last two weeks and while I'd like to be able to groan about how she lays around all day and I have to feed her chocolates and caraway seeds and bring her endless cups of coffee, that just isn't the case. Pauline has been churning through project after project around our house. The biggest one was these new curtains. We bought them at IKEA in the fall and never took the time to hang them, and now I know why. It took her two whole days. But they look amazing. I absolutely love them. Thank you, Mummy!

Vengeance and wrath

This is what we've spent our evenings doing since my mother-in-law, Pauline, came to visit. We've been playing Scrabble night after night. And by "playing Scrabble" I really mean that she and I are taking huge joint efforts to prevent Thomas from winning. If there were Scrabble halls and Scrabble sharks, kinda like pool halls and pool sharks, Thomas would be the ringer. He can complain about how he has six vowels and a K and then play a 33 point word. Pauline won this game even though he played SORGO. Yeah, that's what I said. SORGO. And I challenged it and lost my turn.

Daily dog

Lola is a bold dog with gallons of personality but she keeps it well hidden and only reveals it for the ones she loves. She likes to be the top dog but is timid when treading into a new relationship. She backs away from unknown men and doesn't like it when other women steal her show. But once she warms up and decides your in her "club" as I call it, there's no getting away. Ever.
