Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. Mom is feeling a bit poorly right now. We need to go to bed, but she says that we can type our entry.

Grandma got a pretty flower arrangement yesterday, and I thought you’d all like to see a pretty rose. There are five of them. I hope they last for a while!
Talk to you next week!

Hello everyone! Mom and I just spent the last ten minutes waiting for our blogging software to behave with our computer. It’s still having a hard time, so I guess this is going to have to be short. Maybe Mom will have enough time after she gets out of work tomorrow to work on it. I write this the night before we post, so it’s time to go to bed soon.
It has been a pretty quiet week. The trees have been changing. I was going to share a picture, but the picture currently won’t upload to Dropbox. A tree outside of Mom’s not-retail job is a lovely color of orange. I asked her to take a picture of it before we left today. She posted it to Instagram because we thought it was so pretty.
I will try to convince her to fix this tomorrow afternoon, but if we don’t, I’ll share the pretty picture next time!

Hello everybody! How are you? Things have been pretty quiet around here. Mom has been working. My friends and I have been going with her to give her some moral support. Sitting in the car is a lot cooler now. The next thing is to talk Mom into getting us some wifi!

The leaves are changing now. The trees around our house mostly turn either brown or yellow. I think the changing colors is my favorite part of fall. What is your favorite part of fall?
Talk to you next week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay! We have officially entered fall here in Wisconsin, so the weather is cooler. That makes for a much happier Mom, so I like it.

Mom found this insect at her not-retail job. It is a northern walking-stick. She is pretty far away from home—there aren’t a lot of trees around the building that she works. But isn’t cool? The Wikipedia article and another website Mom found mentioned that the bigger ones are probably the females. I like looking at insects—I don’t need to touch it! What do you all think?
Talk to you next week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay, although Mom is kind of tired. There have been a lot of mosquitoes here in Wisconsin. Mom is getting bites all the time. For a while, they were even inside the house. (Mom thinks that she’s on their territory outside—but inside they ought to leave her alone!)

Mom went shopping the week before last and found something pretty cool! She found THREE of my brethren! She had just decided to stop at the thrift store just because, and it turned out to be a great decision! And they were only $2 a piece! These bears are more my size. Foster and the other bears Mom has found on ebay, are a bit bigger then me. Her mom told her that she had just worn me down enough that I was smaller than Foster, but it turns out that we came in two different sizes!

Mom says she doesn’t know what’s going to happen with the three new bears. She always wants backups in case something terrible happens to Foster or I, so they might go away. She doesn’t want to fall for another bear and worry about something happening to them. But they’re here, and that’s pretty cool.

Talk to you next week!

September 13th, 2018

Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. We have had a quiet week. On Monday, Mom, Caleb, and I went to Mom’s grandma’s funeral. She was 98 years old, so it wasn’t anything to be too sad about. I had to stay in the car when Mom and Caleb went inside the church for the service, but I helped her when she was in the car. Now we’re all going to have to help her write the thank you notes!

We did get some pretty flowers. Mom took pictures of them since they won’t last forever.

I think I like the lily the most. Mom went to a thrift store last week and found something that I want to share with you all! I’ll show you next week! I hope you have a great week!

September 7th, 2018

Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. It was very humid for a while this past week, which made for an unhappy Mom. However, it seems like it’s over with for now, so everything is okay.

Adelaide and I got to sit outside on the porch with Mom and Oliver today. It was very nice. It was about 70 degrees and nice and sunny. We probably sat out there for two hours before we had to go in for supper. Do you like sitting outside? It’s certainly one of Oliver’s favorite things to do. What do you think?
Talk to you next week!
