This is Irritating little Chihuahua at six weeks, January of 1999. She is eleven years old this month, and she has her daily exercise routine.
It consists of sleeping,
going outside and surveying her driveway, from the great sniffing of automobile tires down to the Yucca plant. I have yet to figure out what is so intriguing [...]

Irritating Little Chihuahua is still giving the recliner a wide birth but she is ferocious in her sleep!
OR NOT!

I slept late and we are having a quiet day. This is what I woke up to at 9 a.m.
This was not night time. This was out my front door at 9 am and we don’t have fires to blame.
With the cool nights all summer in Indiana, the marigolds are about the only thing left, [...]

It’s so beautiful out today. I love this property, with all the trees waving in the wind and the two fawns that have taken up residence (I think their mom might have died in a car crash). Poor babies are eating all the red tomatoes and yellow roses. They do not like the pink roses. [...]

Sorry, for the long absence. We have the log off our roof now. That’s good. I reformatted my computer, hoping to improve my Dial-up Access, but that is not working so well. I never get on to AOL with the first try and, when I do get on, other things seem to be constantly running [...]

The rain has stopped, the sun is out and I am on my dial-up, for a while at least. I have been kicked off twice, so I shall type fast. This morning I had a party line on my phone. Thank you SOOOOOO much AT&T, for this wonderful service.
I am working industriously on the book [...]

I grew up in northern Indiana and went to college and worked in Chicago for many years. I have taken buses and trains to get where I was going since 1974. I remember early South Shore train seats that were woven wicker and the windows opened because there was no air-conditioning. Yes, grasshopper, I am [...]

The ground is saturated here, in Indiana. This morning, on the local news, there was a picture of an SUV, in Indianapolis, being swept away by the rain. It rolled and tumbled and was pretty much being demolished in the water that swept over the road. Lesson: Never drive over a road with swift water [...]

We are having our spring rains. It is the time of year when we have to trench away from EMT’s room so the water doesn’t pour in, and when our phone lines become party lines. Irritating Little Chihuahua does not like the rain.
She used to hate the thunder and lightning, and then I got [...]

I just love Crazy Aunt Purl, although I am a little miffed lately because she has had to cut off comments and sometimes there is something I just want to tell her or comment to her and I can’t and that is why, like Crazy Aunt Purl, I would like to stab someone repeatedly with [...]
