Her name is Tutu.
Raindrop spent the last week at her grandparents with her new “sister” Tutu.
Tutu is a 10-pound rat terrier.
She’s a rescue dog.
She’s the pesky little sister Raindrop never wanted to have.
Raindrop loves her already.
My parents keep Raindrop for us a few weeks every year due to travel.
Mom and Dad had to put Snowy to sleep [...]

Further into the complex, more greeters told us where to park.
A nice man and his wife parked [...]

What makes them attractive to younger members?
Many traditional religious organizations are aging out.
I took a peek at their website to see what was different. I found…
Diversity in offerings.
A multimedia experience - both online and in person.

Because the promo made it sound like a bore!
So I’m having lunch with a woman who belongs to a group I joined and never really connected with - not sure why I keep paying dues. I’ve got six more months…
Anyhow, she asks why I wasn’t at the big party.
What big party? Only thing I’ve seen promoted lately [...]

You brought joy to the 4th of July Parade.
On the 4th we attended the Ann Arbor Jaycee’s 4th of July Parade.
For me, it’s always a bit of a thrill to see the Jaycees produce a successful event - it’s one of my leadership legacies.
Last year I blogged about the story of how I helped the [...]
