Packing Day!

Posted on Friday, March 20, 2026 by Paul

In retrospect, I should NOT have had Mary read the book three times!    I observed her packing activities and saw she thought packing for a week was easy: 3 swimsuits, 1 pair of flip-flops, and 47 “just in case” … Continue reading →

It Was A Sad But Beautiful Day!

Posted on Thursday, March 19, 2026 by Paul

I woke up SORE with my lower back screaming in agony.  We had to get up early because we were going to Jeff’s “funeral” at the cemetery just three miles down the road.   It was a small group, perhaps 12-14 … Continue reading →

Posted on Monday, March 16, 2026 by Paul

Posted on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 by Paul

We were up before 7:00 am, with Mary already in full mission mode—fixing breakfast and getting herself ready for her trip to watercolor class (because apparently, sleep is optional when art is involved). Meanwhile, I spent a couple of hours … Continue reading →

Saturday Was Work And Fun!

Posted on Saturday, March 7, 2026 by Paul

We started in the garden right after our morning coffee, when the day still felt soft and manageable.  But that dry wind had other plans—so we jumped in early, determined to get every vegetable in the ground and tucked under … Continue reading →

Friday Means The Weekend Is Near!

Posted on Friday, March 6, 2026 by Paul

It was supposed to be a gardening day, but Mother Nature showed up with 30 mph winds and a bad attitude.  Between the dirt trying to exfoliate our faces and Mary’s contact lenses threatening to turn into potato chips, we … Continue reading →

Woooooooosh!

Posted on Friday, February 27, 2026 by Paul

Talk about “on the go!”  We were up doing our thing, and then it was time to go to the Elks for “Girls Night Out”. Lunch was fun, but Iris was not feeling well, so she stayed home. After lunch, … Continue reading →
