Yesterday, in a conversation I had with my daughter, I described a "problem" I just had with the mystery book I finished very recently. While I really appreciate the author's writing style, my "complaint" is that since I LOVE cozy mysteries, I put a lot of weight on the "mystery" part of the book. I have only read two of this author's mysteries. I don't know if the third will prove to be different, but in the first two books of her series, I knew exactly who the culprits were as soon as I was "introduced" to the characters.

Sprite (our 15 year old puppy) has quite a regimen in the morning… or should I say "I" have that regimen?!? She keeps me on my toes… everything has to be punctual, and everything in the correct order. (She didn't used to be like this!)

It's sort of odd how our "puppy" Sprite seems to feel most comfortable when all four of us are home. She really seems to relax. She sort of has that "all is well in the world" behavior when all four of her humans are home. Of course, now that she is fifteen, it is like having a very old person living with us. We have to plan all of our excursions so that someone is home after being away for four hours… Someone has to be around to pick her up and let her sit in her favorite places… namely my seat of the couch and our bed.

I hope all of you have terrific 2010s!

"Y2K" was being touted as the end of all computerized clocks, calendars, ETC. I even remember reading that some people were actually stock-piling goods because of the worry-mongers' predictions!

We're celebrating our daughter's birthday today. Her actual birthday is on Saturday, but that is the day that she will be heading back to Massachusetts for the winter session. It's not actually the semester that is typically called "spring session" >>> It is a three week class session, which (apparently) all the students are required to take. (We will miss her University of Texas undergraduate five-week winter holidays!)
