    July 4, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    How was your holiday weekend? Ours was bittersweet as we had to say good-bye to our one and only Earl the Pug last Friday. This was painful. Utterly painful. But his 15 year old body was wearing out and we are comforted in knowing he is now playfully running his…

    March 27, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    March 12, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I find myself sitting in our porch tonight under two of the most unlikely scenarios: The window is open on this crazy beautiful – warm! – March evening. I am all by myself. Well, not counting Earl the pug, who is snoring at my feet. But there is no Teacher…

    Oh my word has it been cold this weekend! I know, I know … I live in Minnesota, after all. But I don’t care how native you are to this state, when you wake up to this on your phone, it’s officially bleeping cold! This kind of cold doesn’t necessarily keep…
