The gorgeous Duchess Restaurant, where I enjoyed one the most fabulous and delicious meals of my life—complete real champagne. (And ate my way through the day too and tried Amsterdam’s delicious fries with gravy.) #iamreallyworking #amwriting

Guess which card is from Colm? He’s the sweetest boy in the 🌍. Valentine’s is always a big day in our house. Our beloved grandfather’s name was Valentine, my brother’s name is Valentine, and we have a cousin named Valentine. Any excuse to celebrate 💗 Love Love Love is a good one. Love of life, love of family, love of pets, friends, books, chocolate, flowers, music, travel, movies, wine, whatever floats your boat. #valentinesday #love #iloveit #amwriting #amreading
The saddest story in six words: Came home with an empty carrier. Our hearts are shattered today. Sprinkles, the stray cat that sauntered into our home and then immediately into our hearts, crossed over to the other side of the veil this morning. Greg held her and I held her paws as she did, and we told her “I love you and thank you.” She brought so much joy to my kids and became such a huge part of our family’s happiness. She cracked open our hearts and showed us just how much you can love a pet (quite honestly more than some people). She was hands down the best coworker I ever had—paws on the mouse and keyboard always—and she loved and approved of everything I wrote. The perfect critic. Ram Dass says we are all just walking each other home. She walked with us for a little while and we are all better for it. Her walk is through, her work is done, our hearts were changed, and our lives made better because she was in it. There is not much better way to leave a mark in life, like the deep impression on a heart. And she made four. She’s not in any pain anymore, and wherever she is I hope there are endless garden beds to lounge on, birds to chase, and arms holding books to snuggle into for her. The doctors and techs at Beechmont Pet Hospital were so kind and compassionate, and we are truly grateful for all the care they gave her the last few months. Vets are angels. #heartbroken #cat #sprinklessigningoffhumanduty #seeyouagain
