Posted on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 by Paul

Tuesday, A Time To Relax!

Posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 by Paul

We checked the calendar and, to our shock, the only thing on it is Mary’s painting class — apparently, even our schedule needs a break.  We messed around the house in the morning, and Mary got ready to go to … Continue reading →

Posted on Monday, April 27, 2026 by Paul

We were up and going early because we had to be at Amy’s doctor’s office in Newport Beach for an eye checkup.  We went down via the backroads and had it in less than an hour.  We were about 15 … Continue reading →

Rain or No Rain, That Is The Question!

Posted on Saturday, April 25, 2026 by Paul

It’s 8:00 am on Saturday, we’re up, caffeinated, and pretending we’re the kind of people who get a lot done before noon.  So far, the garden is scheduled to eat most of the day, and then we’ll reward ourselves by … Continue reading →

Oh No! This Is My 4,206th Monday On This Planet!

Posted on Monday, April 20, 2026 by Paul

Oh No!  It’s that dreaded Monday, meaning we must head to the gym for our bi-weekly bout with almost certain death.  The workout!  After a shower, I suited up in my Ninji black workout uniform and headed to the car.  … Continue reading →

Posted on Saturday, April 18, 2026 by Paul

Have you ever run out of gas?  I mean, you get up to do something and can’t seem to get anything done?  Today was one of those days. Our house painter finally finished after three weeks of hard work, but … Continue reading →

Lucky Me!

Posted on Sunday, April 12, 2026 by Paul

Yep, it was “raining” when we got up, so we had our coffee, watched the rain, and planned the day.  I enjoy planning so much that I sometimes forget to do the thing. As the title says, I was lucky.  … Continue reading →
