Repetitious

Originally posted 2021-09-18 09:00:22. The past month has been a bunch of repeats. Over and over I go. It’s been my husband, myself, my son, my best friend and the dogs.

Wildlife?

Originally posted 2018-05-14 17:59:54. So my husband calls me while at work so we handle a VA related doctors appointment. While on the phone he tells me he found what looked to be an arm or leg of an animal. Raccoon? Cat? We are both not sure what it belonged to nor where the rest of the body was. Anybody know what it may have belonged to? (I darkened the picture to hopefully help with…
