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 →

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 →

Monday Has Begun; We Were Ready!

Posted on Monday, May 18, 2026 by Paul

We were up early as we had an appointment near Hoag Hospital in Newport to see an eye doctor about Amy’s eye issue.  We arrived early thanks to the GPS sending us down the 241/Jamboree, thus avoiding the 55 Freeway … Continue reading →

Where did the sun go?  Yesterday it was 85 degrees, and today we woke up to cold, fog, and the kind of weather that makes you question every life choice before coffee. We were up at 5:00 am because we … Continue reading →

OUCH! No Food, No Drink? Impossible!

Posted on Thursday, May 7, 2026 by Paul

It’s NOT a great day when you wake up and cannot have coffee!  Not even a scone, a donut, or anything else.  I am fasting, which means looking at food and drink with deep emotional attachment but without any physical … Continue reading →
