Thursday Thoughts: Happy New Year

Posted on January 1, 2026 by Silver James

Copilot and I are still learning to play nice. I had this great scene in my head but I’m a writer not an artist so the whole scale and field of depth thing is…fluid. The AI gave me a “tutorial” … Continue reading →

Friday Sinema: It’s A Dog’s Life

Posted on November 21, 2025 by Silver James

I have a new appreciation for this reel. While PITA Pup isn’t this bad, he could be. That said, I’m laughing hysterically and I have my own dog fail story (below). Have a great weekend! I will add that a … Continue reading →

Friday Sinema: Monkey Business

Posted on November 7, 2025 by Silver James

Yes, I’m late. But hey, I’m here! I apologize for the quality of some of these videos but I think you’ll get the idea. WC Fields famously once said never work with kids or animals. Good thing advertisers didn’t get … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Woof

Posted on October 30, 2025 by Silver James

Once again, playing around with AI images. It did a decent job on facsimiles of Jake and Toby. If we had grass in the yard, and pretty orange and yellow leave, pumpkins, and ghosts, it might look like this around … Continue reading →

Friday Sinema: Toby Has Company

Posted on October 10, 2025 by Silver James

Toby is very vocal. He’s not as bad as Micco, our Siberian Husky, was but he’s pretty mouthy. He’s also pretty cute. I thought we’d end the week with a giggle or seven. Or at least a smile. Enjoy these … Continue reading →

Posted on September 29, 2025 by Silver James

September is almost gone. The nights are cooler but the days are still rather August-ish. I’m ready for Fall. Fall is my favoirte. October arrives on Wednesday. That means it’s time to switch tablecloths, dining room centerpiece and the front … Continue reading →

Tuesday Tidbits: This, That and Another

Posted on September 16, 2025 by Silver James

I can’t think of one of my book titles to go with a recipe and besides, y’all have either bought all my books or you aren’t going to. That’s okay. I’m not mad. The whole point of the Treats & … Continue reading →

First Monday and a Holiday

Posted on September 1, 2025 by Silver James

Actually, it’s not over! At least not here in the USA. Happy Labor Day, folks. Unless you are in food service, retail, or public service, you probably have the day off. We have no real plans. For me, it’s just … Continue reading →

Tuesday Tidbits: Shut the Stuff Up

Posted on August 26, 2025 by Silver James

It rained. All day yesterday. I needed birdseed, dog food, and gas. Especially those last two items. But it rained. All day. Taking Jake in the rain is always fun. Not. Taking him and leaving him in the car (it … Continue reading →
