Summer 2020

Posted on August 25, 2020August 25, 2020 by Sandra

I can’t believe the summer is coming to an end. We were in Virginia for the 4th of July and we took some summer photos with James. I am not doing any therapy dog work with James because of Covid restrictions but I still dressed James up in a patriotic costume for the holiday (James…

Posted on May 11, 2020May 10, 2020 by Sandra

James has a new puppy friend in the neighborhood and her name is Belle. Belle is a Samoyed and she is SO cute! Belle is absolutely enamored with James. She can spot James WAY down the trail and she will start barking! She has also figured out when we walk past her house (I think…

Pandemic Humor

Posted on May 5, 2020May 3, 2020 by Sandra

It seems like poor taste to joke about something that has really been awful this year. But in times of crises, I think we can cope with laughter. Anyone from Florida, or even the United States, would know there is not a ski resort in Florida. So that makes that meme above pretty funny. But…

Covid-19 Life on the Atlanta Beltline

Posted on May 1, 2020May 1, 2020 by Sandra

We live in the Virginia Highlands area of Atlanta with a rails to trails path nearby called The Beltline. It is one of the nicest rails to trails paths because there are lots of stores, parks and restaurants along the Beltline. Before the Coronavirus shutdown, I walked to CorePower Yoga (an awesome hot yoga studio…

Covid-19: Our New Normal

Posted on April 30, 2020April 28, 2020 by Sandra

It is weird to think that we have a curfew here in Atlanta from 9pm to 7am. I don’t like walking James late at night and I’ve always preferred going to the grocery store in the morning. But the idea that I can’t run out for a 10pm late night ice cream snack is just…

Covid-19 TP Madness and Some Groceries Sold Out

Posted on April 29, 2020April 28, 2020 by Sandra

I’ve taken a few photos with my phone over these past few weeks – just in case I forget how crazy this pandemic was. I mentioned yesterday we bought some “just in case” food at Costco in late February and two of those items were paper towels and toilet paper. I wasn’t aware of how…

Trader Joe’s: What is happening?

Posted on April 28, 2020April 27, 2020 by Sandra

I wanted to blog about our Coronavirus Covid-19 experience. I know in many years I will forget (hopefully) how crazy these times were. Back in February we had been reading about the virus and we had bought some items at Costco “just in case.” We knew we would be leaving Atlanta in April (that isn’t…

Covid-19 Face Masks

Posted on April 27, 2020April 26, 2020 by Sandra

I can’t believe it has been a month since I made our face masks. When I was making them, I honestly just wanted a Saturday afternoon craft project. I don’t have my sewing machine or fabric collection here in Atlanta, but I do have a tiny travel sewing machine and some leftover fabric from some…

Birthday Portraits – James is 10

Posted on April 16, 2020April 16, 2020 by Sandra

We took some portraits of James on Monday celebrating James’ 10th birthday! I was surprised his tongue wasn’t completely hanging out of his mouth in the portraits because he played with a lot of friends along his walk to Old 4th Ward Park for these photos! Spring is here in Atlanta and the trees have…

Happy 10th Birthday James!

Posted on April 13, 2020April 13, 2020 by Sandra

Today is Monday April 13, 2020 and it is James the Poodle’s 10th birthday! Last year, James was really sick on his birthday. Thankfully James is doing great one year later. But this year is a little, odd, too. We are in the middle of a global pandemic and we are under ‘stay at home’…

James the Poodle: Six Weeks Old

Posted on March 19, 2020March 19, 2020 by Sandra

I posted back in September the old photos I found of James when he was three weeks old. I realized today that I never posted his six week photos! James was so tiny – he could be bathed in the kitchen sink! James and all of his Standard Poodle littermates: One puppy wandered off the…

Venice, Italy and the Coronavirus

Posted on March 18, 2020March 18, 2020 by Sandra

I saw this on Twitter today – the canals in Venice, Italy are clear because there is no traffic in them. I’m sure the constant movement of boats, ferries and gondoliers stirs up the bottom so the water is never clear. Look at this tweet from Kaveri in Italy: Dolphins are also showing up in…

RV Hookups at Campgrounds

RV Hookups at Campgrounds

Posted on March 17, 2020March 17, 2020 by Chris

The one question I always get about our RV is, “How bad is it to deal with the sewer line?” Well, instead of worrying you with details, let me just show you. In this video I will show you how I unhook everything from the RV before we move. You will get to see my…

Poodles Love McDonald’s

Posted on March 11, 2020March 10, 2020 by Sandra

We were on the road all day the other day and we decided to stop and get some food while on the road. Thanks to Siba, the Best in Show winner at Westminster this year, we decided to get James some McDonald’s grilled chicken! We were in the drive through and I asked for a…

Presidential Portraits at the Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC

Posted on March 10, 2020March 2, 2020 by Sandra

The National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC is one of my favorite museums. I’ve definitely spent more time at this museum than any other museum and I’ve visited this museum the most. Since we have been in Europe, the new presidential portrait for Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have been completed and they…

Walking Around Geneva, Switzerland

Posted on March 6, 2020March 2, 2020 by Sandra

I am enjoying walking around Geneva. There is lots of shopping and there are a lot of public spaces and parks all around Lake Geneva. The Jet d’Eau is a famous landmark in Geneva and it was fun to watch! While walking around shopping alone one day, I came across this group of musicians and they…

Spring in Switzerland

Posted on March 5, 2020March 2, 2020 by Sandra

It seems like it has been a long and cold winter. But the days are sunny and the temperatures aren’t quite so cold here in Geneva (we still have our radiators on though). I was excited to see signs of Spring in the park: crocuses and daffodils! We planted a bunch of bulbs in our…
