All finished finally

The prep we always go through trying to make Christmas Day begins, now Mommy has finished work until January, where we will buy more food than we could possibly eat and wrap the tons of gifts from us and the American family that arrives from Amazon, most of which […]

Reagans teeth

It needs mentioning that Reagan has 3 of 4 rear molers that did not form properly and the dentist referred us to an orthodontist who recommended braces but referred her on to Leighton Hospital because before braces can be fitted they need room to move so the plan is to have 4 rear molers removed […]

Work done for 2022 – RIP

Girly time

As a treat to make up for not liking football enough to want to watch the Broncos back in November, Reagan went to London for a couple of days for some Mommy time. A bit of rain didn’t dampen their spirits and a walk through London’s Christmas lights a meal and The Snowman ballet in […]

While cravings may flare briefly at the edge of my consciousness from time to time, my alcohol habit is dead and gone; I can sit comfortably with friends watching them drink lager, bitter or wine as I nurse a coke or sparkling water.
