Mia, my heroine!

My dear friend Cindy took me on a great walk on my last afternoon in St. Louis.

We saw Mia the dog go after this big branch in the water!

Watch Mia proudly and adroitly return the stick to her human!

You rock, Mia!

Mending my wings

I’m having my wings mended. Getting ready to fly again!

The last remedy: patience

When all else fails, patience is the only tool left in my toolbox. I use it wisely if unhappily.

Saving my energy

Great films to catch

January 22, 2025January 21, 2025 / get back, laurettadimmick / 4 Comments

When you are on hiatus in rural Illinois in the middle of a frigid air mass down from the Arctic, you have lots of time to watch movies.

Have you seen Conclave? Superb!

Having enjoyed Conclave so much, I looked for other films with Ralph Fiennes. Watched and completely enjoyed the fictionalized story about the life of Charles Dickens.
