Animal Crackers

Location: Midwest, United States

I am a senior citizen who enjoys writing and other forms of communication. I enjoy designing cards for all occasions. Dogs have always been a major part of my life. I have published my own dog magazine, written dog columns for a local newspaper's web site and major TV station web site, and conducted informational classes about dogs through the library system for over 25 years. I write poems about each one of my dogs. My biggest achievement was becoming a member of Mensa. Music makes me happy. I love to dance. Skating was my life when I was young. Adopting a rescue dog has given me a new start in life. He has taught me so much.

FUTURE POSTS - MAYBE

We're into the holiday season starting with Thanksgiving. I've been thinking about doing something different during the holidays and then starting with the new year I'll get back to dogs.

For reasons I will not go into now, I've decided that I want to write about holidays, neighborhoods, and growing up. I am overcome with nostalgia I guess. It does seem to raise its head around the holidays. And so many posts seem to circulate relating to how it was back "in the good old days." Maybe it's my age. Maybe it's the loss of dear friends. It doesn't really matter. I just wanted to share some nostalgia with readers.

Enjoy your turkey, friends, and family tomorrow and over the long weekend. See you back here when you have the time and maybe while you're eating the last of the turkey.
