Sorine

 


There is a recent addition to joining our family. She comes home today.

When we adopted Kraven, the breeder casually mentioned, "See you in six months." Confused, I inquired about the reason. He followed up with a confident smile, saying, "You'll be back to get another one." I couldn't help but laugh, but deep down, I knew he was right.

When we went back to the breeders on March 9th, we were confronted with the overwhelming task of choosing a new puppy all over again. We took his advice into consideration and opted for a female this time. He had mentioned that having two males could cause frequent clashes, transforming our home into a chaotic battlefield.

On January 20, 2024, Brooke came into the world. October 5th, 2023 marked the day Kraven entered the realm of the living. They are practically the same age, with only a few months between them. Initially, we set out to buy a half-sister with the same dad. Brooke captured our hearts, and we couldn't resist putting a deposit on her.

Our fresh addition will become Kraven's playmate and companion in the future, but I expect a short period of jealousy and unease from him. Among the people we know, it's rare to find someone who doesn't own at least two Great Danes or have a connection to someone who does. Seeing how much they flourish in the presence of a companion; it was a simple choice to bring home our new baby girl.

Marcie cradles Brooke in the picture above, but once she crosses our threshold, she will forever be Sorine. We chose the name because Kraven is a character in one of my favorite movie series, Underworld. Kraven's reputation precedes him, as he is renowned for his cunning and merciless nature. In this story, there is a male character named Soren and his name has a feminine form, Sorine (pronounced sore in).

People with the name Sorine have a deep inner desire for love and companionship and want to work with others to achieve peace and harmony.

Until next time,

Tim

Rocky Ridge/Breeden Ridge Trail

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography Today I met my buddy Mark at O’ Bannon Woods State Park for a hike.  In this Coronavirus terrifying world, I needed to get out. My week had not been going so well.  I got some surprises at work that changed how future projects will go for me and I was bombarded by daily messages of doom about the Corona Virus.  I was looking forward to the weekend because I had two hikes planned.  This is the only one that happened. After a two day headache (Friday and Saturday) I was able to get out and hike.  I met Mark at the campground in O’ Bannon Woods and we set off on the Rocky Ridge Trail.  This is the trail we had planned on hiking a few weekends ago but it ended quickly when the forecasted 30% of rain became 100% sleet. The trail this time was still muddy but as I could tell by the campground area we would be alone.  As my boots slushed through the mud I watched from behind as Mark often caught a tree root or rock with the toe of his boot, sending...

I almost died - Adventure Hiking Trail.

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography (https://www.instagram.com/timothybme/) This morning I was able to cross off a mini-bucket list item.  I have always wanted to hike on the Adventure Hiking Trail (AHT) and today I achieved that with my good friend Mark. We met in the parking lot by the guard shack at the entrance to the park.  We took a moment to greet each other and both of us tried to decide to wear a jacket or not.  Mark loves to drive and since he has a Jeep I was okay with him hauling us to our starting point.  I loaded my gear in his Jeep, climbed in and we headed off. As Mark turned onto Cold Friday Road I felt my excitement level begin to rise as I had been looking forward to this hike for a long time.  The road, though paved was very bumpy and curvy.  It was littered with debris.  Not man-made debris but the kind only Mother Nature could provide.  The Jeep crushed branches, it road over leaves and small rocks, and we seemed to feel every puddle and pothole as we descended the ...

Breeden Ridge Trail

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography This week I rode an emotional rollercoaster, and I felt like I had no safety belt to keep my securely locked in place.  The week began with yet another bill that seems for the last month we have been hemorrhaging money for state taxes, many home repairs, and car repairs.  My son’s truck had work being done and the price ended up $200+ more than expected.  After dropping my car off for a simple oil leak and picking his truck up I was soon informed that my simple oil leak also involved a radiator leak and a bill of $1700+.  I needed an outlet and the best place for that is the trails. Friday started well.  I met a friend for lunch.  This friend recently retired from my employer and though I didn’t know him that well I always enjoyed talking to him and felt we had some things in common with music.  I tend to gravitate toward older people (especially men), always welcoming their knowledge and experience of life.  This was no exception.  Our lunch meeting c...
