Working Out Locked Out

Posted on June 20, 2017June 21, 2017 By Sister Rain

A beautiful morning without the humidity that has been plaguing us like, well, the plague. I don’t really want to go out for a walk but I want to ride the exercise bike even less. Sometimes less really is more. Sneaks, workout shorts and a cool top. check  iPhone and headphones. check …

Posted on June 17, 2017 By Sister Rain

After twenty-five years of washing our dishes, I placed an ad and this showed up. He said he has experience but I told him bathing in his water dish doesn’t count.

Posted on June 14, 2017June 15, 2017 By Sister Rain

Not being able to see Piper, our orange-fronted conure’s (a species of parrot) beautiful orange, blue…

Don’t Just Bust It, Trust It

Posted on June 12, 2017June 12, 2017 By Sister Rain

Life Is Like A Box Of Piper

Posted on June 9, 2017June 9, 2017 By Sister Rain

Hershey Box Happy* Finding Piper at the bird rescue, with so many wonderful birds in need of a forever family, really was like the Forrest Gump famous quote, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” But Piper was the first result to pop up when…

Everything’s Going Wrong. And That Feel Right.

Posted on June 7, 2017 By Sister Rain
