We Are Having A Mid-Week Crisis!

Posted on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 by Paul

We were up and going around 6:00 am, as today is 1) get-ready-for-the-board-meeting day and 2) watercolor painting day! I got on a roll and got out all my shoes, ALL 24 PAIRS.  Oh my, I might be a girl!  … Continue reading →

At exactly 6:00 am, we launched ourselves out of bed with all the speed and grace of two antique refrigerators being pushed downhill.  Our knees held a committee meeting before approving the first step.  Every joint announced its presence with … Continue reading →

Time To Visit The Elks! TWICE!

Posted on Thursday, July 9, 2026 by Paul

We were up and moving at 6:00 am, which is nothing short of a miracle considering we didn’t crawl into bed until 1:00 a.m. Apparently, our bodies are still operating under the “force of habit” program, even though our brains … Continue reading →

We did nada today!  I really did NOT go to the sporting goods store! We totally relaxed and didn’t even leave the house.  The party was a load of fun, and we sure appreciate Robin and Bob’s assistance getting everything … Continue reading →

After several highly serious, boardroom-level discussions, I finally convinced Dr. Mary that yes, we really should go to the gym and voluntarily subject ourselves to a 90-minute workout. So off we went to Peak Performance, proudly wearing our latest disguises … Continue reading →

Sunday And We Are Going To Relax

Posted on Sunday, June 28, 2026 by Paul

We arrived at the office at the same time, checked our emails, and caught up on the news—because apparently that’s what responsible adults do before the real excitement begins.  We’re also looking forward to Hannah and her family visiting in … Continue reading →

Toosday And We Are Busy!!

Posted on Tuesday, June 23, 2026 by Paul

We had our coffee, then changed into our official “working clothes,” which are just regular clothes with a higher chance of dirt, sweat, and regret. First stop: Orange Farming Supply for additional veggies, because apparently our garden looked at us … Continue reading →
