OM to the G

Thank you Bernie Student (NZ!). Bernie doesn't know how to read a blog, so my shout out is to you!

I had no idea he dealt with the bathroom in Stockbridge. GO UMASS.

Obsession with Coco continues.

All animals love Bernie. ALL. Ruffy and Skipper, the Shelties (we dog-sat, RIP); Greta, the Golden Retriever (RIP); Lex, our Samoyed and Lucy our Golden Retriever (RIP); Walker, our failed Boxer service dog in training (RIP); my guinea pigs Milly and Beavi s (RIP), Crawford the Cat picked up for EAM's birthday (RIP); Neighborhood Catzis (our nickname for Moonbeam who lived next door but really liked us, RIP); and NOW Coco.

Coco sure needs to go outside. He's in winter hibernation mode.

It's that time again:

Things I am grateful for: bullet points and arrows

Things I am thankful for this week, continued

ELM was eating some chocolate and this is what she found the next morning:

Things I am thankful for this week

Coco's obession with the new couch. No one can use it since it is always covered in obstacles to prevent him from making it his new hangout.

My father is quite amazing

So Amherst was not in the minority in terms of losing power whole hog. I am really glad I have a real office with a door when ELM sends me updates regarding Bernie, because sometimes, he really doesn't understand how hilarious he is.

From ELM:

"Do you know what having electricity back means? Record playing. And I mean, full blast, 8 am playing of records from god knows when. I heard, 'Emma, don't be scared,' and he turned it up full blast."
