Orphan Anne

“I’m an orphan!” my youngest said to her friend proudly.
“No your not!”
“Yes I am! My mom and dad said so!”

Life in Lyman: Lost & Found

We just stopped at my parents for a minute to pick up 2 children. Surely Pria would be OK in the front yard. As we planned to leave we called for her and she didn’t come. Then we heard the fireworks from down the street. She hates fireworks. We looked and called and looked and called the police and looked until dark. It was no use, she could be anywhere and fireworks were going off all over town.

Pria likes Brenda the best and so Brenda was missing Pria the most. It was a tough night. I made a lost dog poster and first thing in the morning we went to the store and made copies. We hung up a copy of the poster in the store and went to my parents home to pick up the children so they could help hang up posters. I began trimming a small version of the poster to hand out at the fourth of July parade if necessary. As I trimmed away there was a joyful scream “Pria! Here girl. Here girl. I found her!” yelled my son. Pria had returned a bit damp but in one piece. The relief cheered everyone up and I discovered something about myself. I make good Lost Dog posters.

Life in Lyman: Sit

After 10 years the rope finally breaks and our swing is a sit. I am so glad it didn’t involve a visit to the emergency room. This is how it went down.

Dad! Dad! We get a new swing. Isn’t it funny? Can I be on a stamp now?
